Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — Image from a lava level of Jenga World Tour. Jenga World Tour uses the gameplay of the game Jenga, but different levels have different environmental factors that change how the game is played, such as a prehistoric Zambian jungle level where dinosaurs shake the tower as to make it fall. Some of the scenarios that were added include a Nepal "ice" level which makes blocks harder to grip, and a Chinese "vine" level which prevents some blocks from being moved. This aspect of the game has been criticized by reviewers since.
Development
Development
The game was first announced by Atari on July 6, 2007, and a prototype of the Wii version was later exhibited at E3 2007. After previewing the game themselves in July 2007, GameSpot reported, "... we're not convinced that the finished game will be nearly as much fun as 54 wooden bricks."

Reception
Jenga World Tour received "generally unfavorable reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN said of the Wii version, "We can't believe we're even listing off reasons not to buy a game based on a $10 box of blocks." GameSpot said, "Putting Jenga underwater does not make it worth twice the cost of regular Jenga." GameSpot also gave the Wii version a dubious honor nomination for "Flat-Out Worst Game of 2007".
