Pros
Pro As you play music is created
While not always a conscious effort the game creates music as each block is placed. What's great is that in the free play mode users can mess around with making some interesting music while not having to pay as much attention to block placement as they would in regular levels.
Pro Huge names in electronic music field did the music for the game
From the likes of Moby to Philip Glass the game includes great electronic artists as the music in the game.
Pro Great variety in puzzles
A lot of attention has been put into creating interesting levels with great pacing and variety throughout the game.
Pro Beautiful visual style
World of Goo is pleasing to look at. Most of the time it's very colorful and joyful, but it changes from time to time to reflect different parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is stylistically well presented throughout the game.
Pro A twisted tale
As you start playing there doesn't seem to be much of a story. A few philosophical messages left behind by the Sign Painter and a cut-scene here or there. But as you progress through the game you unearth different details about a slightly disturbing world.
Pro Good, funny music
Each level has good and very funny music.
Pro Excellent physics engine
Physics in-game take into account gravity, wind, weight of different goo-balls, structural integrity of your architectural solutions to create an addictive, "let me try this one more time"-type of gameplay.
