    The gameplay is a snap to pick up, but the player is rewarded for delving deeper into the combo system. Sure, there are those who will say that the original Tetris is the best puzzle game of all time, but if there was ever a game that could top it, it's this one.

    With a variety of modes, great stylus control and online play, Intelligent Systems has come up with a puzzle game that's hard to beat.

    The ability to share this joy with people around you and then play them from anywhere in the world serves to make this one of the better buys you can make for the DS.

    It really makes you think and that, surely, is the point of a puzzle game. [Oct 2007, p.96]

    Overall, however, Planet Puzzle League lives up to the rich tradition of its heritage, and puzzle fans would be remiss to ignore it. [July 2007, p.97]

    Execution is near-flawless throughout, and while the presentation's a bit on the garish side (and seemingly influenced by Q Entertainment's Meteos, which is a sort of hyperactive sideways space-based Panel de Pon anyway), you can stick to the graphical layout you like best by tweaking options pre-game.

    Aside from its online gameplay, Planet Puzzle League has little new to offer over more engaging rivals.

    Both easier and more competitive than tetris. Fun mainly because of the garbage you send your opponent. This game is played for multiplayer.
