UXB will not give you sweaty palms but the idea of defusing a large unknown bomb is a novel idea. The game starts with a menu of things to do, these include examining the bomb from different angles or choosing tools to defuse the bomb. With the six tools you choose, one is essential otherwise the bomb will explode taking you with it.

Good graphics are used which complement the high res text and the instructions are very easy to follow. If you are blown up you can start at the beginning or go back to the last stage. Unfortunately, if you use the wrong tool there is no way of changing it. Once the bomb has been defused there is another obstacle to overcome but you will find out what it is yourself.

The game is good but once you have mastered it there is no point in replaying.
