Alex 4 is also one of those rare games that can literally 'be fun for the whole family', because it's not a very hard game to play --it's just a hard game to play well. At the start of the game you are given 3 lives, lose those 3 lives and the game is over. However, you can continue from where ever you 'died', with the only consequence being the loss of your score. I really enjoyed this continue system, as it makes it that much less of a pain to 100% every level, which is a durn hard thing to do, but you'll likely be playing fer hours and hours trying to complete this daunting task anyway. Alex 4 is just that much fun.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it's made by the same guys who bestowed upon us all the blessed goodness of Icy Tower. And that's really all you need to know.
