One of the true great puzzle games of recent years. Easy to pick up and play, and challenging enough for a puzzle game veteran.
-
If nothing else, the four-player mode of the game is worth the entire purchase price. Highly addictive and fun, you’ll be playing this for hours.
-

-
The addictive nature of Puyo Pop makes it one of the best puzzle games ever.

Well, we'd still rather link gems in Puzzle Fighter than link blobs here and the mental gymnastics required to be good at this will deter the casual Tetris player. But still, it's enjoyable stuff.
-
Nintendo PowerThe graphics and music are cute, and the 18 levels of Puyo popping are frantic and challenging. [Mar 2002, p.137]
