Summary

Wik is a unique game where you have to collect "grubs", and feed them to "Gollum" before he reaches the end of the screen. To collect grubs, you suck them up with the power of Wik's mouth, and spit them in Gollum's path. However, there are many obstacles that stand in the way of Wik. Bugs can swoop down and fly off with the grubs, and if you lose too many, them you lose the level. Other grubs might be very high up, looking almost impossible to reach. So how do you get that high? By swinging with your tongue of course!

There are 120 single player levels. There are also challenge stages that offer slightly harder tasks in order to reach grubs. As if that wasn't enough, there are three types of multiplayer on offer (though not over Xbox Live strangely). Up to four players can join in, and there is good variety, such as "Tag", where one player is infected and must infect the others. Those that are not infected rack up points, until the limit is reached. Secondly, there is a race to colect the most coins, as the sreen scrolls up, so you have to be fast. Plague is the last mode, similar to tag, but with a "last man standing" feel to it.
