  But Colony Wars has also been hailed as one of the best games ever (or at 
least, on the PSX), so don't hold your breath.
  I don't doubt that it's fun, but don't be so quick to polarize your view.
 SI>        How does it imitate a familiar game format?  
  Didn't say that it was a computer game format (though there probably has 
been a game like that sometime)... I'm saying that it's basically the pocket 
game Simon, set to rap music and with a little more "oomph."

  That's all well and good, but I still don't know if you can unequivocally 
call it the best game ever.  There are plenty of other candidates for the 
title.
