    A bundle that embodies the worst grinding elements of popular RPGs with a lackluster match-three gameplay mechanic. This version of Puzzle & Dragons tries to use the gold standard that Super Mario Bros. represents in order to bolster the façade that this is an interesting, worthwhile gaming experience. It’s not.

I returned this title and never looked back.… Full Review »

I haven't been really playing long enough to warrant a higher rating, butThis is one of the best puzzle games I've played in a long time. I haven't been really playing long enough to warrant a higher rating, but from how I'm doing so far, i'd say around a 9/10. with my rating here being where I predict I'll be mid-late game. The P&DZ story is about you and your friends trying to stop the evil organization Paradox from destroying the world, where P&DM... well you can guess what happens based on EVERY MARIO GAME EVER! The gameplay's pretty decent too, and the expansive roster of enemies from all over the Mario universe will leave you collecting.
