A Japanese exclusive released in 2002 for GameCube. The game could be connected to the Game Boy Advance game Mr. Driller Ace, another Japanese exclusive, to transfer pets to the GameCube and unlock power-ups for purchase. A remastered version of the game was released worldwide in 2020 on Nintendo Switch and PC. Mr. Driller: Drill Land is a sequel to Mr. Driller. The basic goal is like the original - players must dig through from top to bottom, aiming to reach the goal depth in meters.

Review Sir_Laguna 3/5 · Jul 7, 2020

I say drill it. Drill it good ♫

Not long ago, we were discussing game ratings here on Grouvee and a few, including me, talked against using numbers (or stars or whatever) to rate games.

Yesterday, I was writing the review for this game (the remake for Switch). It's a good game and I was ready to give a 7/10 or 7.5/10. But then I re-read my article …

Not long ago, we were discussing game ratings here on Grouvee and a few, including me, talked against using numbers (or stars or whatever) to rate games.

Yesterday, I was writing the review for this game (the remake for Switch). It's a good game and I was ready to give a 7/10 or 7.5/10. But then I re-read my article and noticed that I couldn't justify that. Despite some localization issues, Mr. Driller DrillLand does everything right. There's absolutely nothing wrong or mediocre about it. How could I give it... I don't know... less than an 8/10?

But I DIDN'T WANTED to give it an 8/10. I didn't 'feel it'. I talked with my editor about it and he reminded me that there's no objective reviews and I could give the number I feel.

At the end, we settled on an 7.9/10, but I really wished I didn't needed to use numbers. The articles should tell you everything you need to know.

Anyway, here's the review in spanish in case you wanna read it.
