| Got a look at this in the August 2004 edition of GameInformer (page 100) and found that it exists on the GCN (US release July 20) and the GBA (if not here then at least in Japan with English). So I took a look at it on the GBA just to see if it was cut up to be a decent Puyo game or not. Okay, for those of you that don't know of the Puyo series, recall your old SNES. If you ever heard of Kirby's Avalanche, or on the Genesis Doc Robot's Bean Machine, then you'll know what I speak of, quite an addictive puzzle game. Those two rip on the Puyo series and for some reason it wasn't really brought over here until Sega claimed it in 2001 with Puyo Pop. I believe Colleen made a thread about that game on the old board...if I recall my pre-joined threads correctly.  If that doesn't come to mind, the puzzle game is relatively simplistic to figure out. Pairs of blobs fall down on the screen of different colors, connect four of the same color or more and they explode. Find ways to chain for greater effects against the opponent. Your stack gets to the top by the blobs or garbage blobs (blobs liked to be called Puyo) you lose. ...Well...actually in the original, if your stack on the 3rd row from the left was over, you lost. In this one the two middle stacks claim your life if you go over. If you haven't played Puyo, you're probably going to be shot to death the instant you put this cart in, or at least...if you don't know what you're doing...and I was doing rather well in the Puyo 2 (SNES) game and the other ones in general...but this adds an extra element of a Fever Gauge...which will pretty much keep you riveted until you win a round, especially in Training mode against other people...and if you aren't careful, you'll get drowned by the opponent fast...and I definitely was the first hundred times I played this game until I figured out that it's way different in terms of strategy. No longer do you win by just getting the best chain. Offsetting helps out as well.  Flashy graphics...but if you want a demo of this game...I've got one (AVI file, long live Camtasia) that I whipped up with text additions to give you an idea of what this game really is. You can find it here (240x160/15fps, full-screens okay; XviD/MPEG4, MP3 audio co/dec required; 6.43 MB - TAKEN DOWN - if you want it, PM me). That'll pretty much give you a heads-up as to what this game is. Personally, I think it's a relatively decent addition to the whole series, and it was well due-in for it...but if you're new to the series, this might be over you're head unless you're a fast learner.
