Video Game Reviews of Planet Puzzle League
Customer Review: Excellent Puzzle League Game!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very addicting! The best part is being able to battle other players over the net via Wifi. Wish there was an adventure mode though.Customer Review: Good overall puzzle game
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll start off saying that I picked up this game on a whim (on sale for $20), and in the end I got a bit more than I expected. The game mechanics are easy to learn, but there are enough advance techniques to keep the game interesting. I like the different modes (Puzzle, Daily Play, Endless, etc.), because again it adds to the re-play value. Wireless is also a big plus. I have two boys that love the DS, so we play a lot of wirelss. It is easy to handicap each player based on ability, so we have great fun playing together. I won't call it a 5-star game, because it still can't stand up to some other well known puzzle games (I'm talking about you, Tetris). But, I will say that I keep coming back for more. I've had is for a month now, and it is still my most frequent play.Customer Review: Great Game For Everyone.

This game is great. Forever fun. If you love puzzles this is the game for you. The whole family will enjoy this even the little ones. Customer Review: A faithful port of the original game
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've spent much time playing Tetris Attack or Panel De Pon, you'll be pleased with this faithful port of the original. The basic mechanics are the same, and all of the original game modes except for story-mode are available. A few extra modes including a "mission" mode and garbage attack mode add some replay value, but the veterans are likely to be spending all their time in two minute time attack.
The rate at which blocks disappear and fall has been drastically reduced - the "hard" mode in PPL is slightly slower than the "easy" mode in PDP/TA. While this effectively prevents you from comparing scores between games, there is one new gameplay feature that adds enormously to the depth of the game - the "Exploding Lift", which allows you to raise the stack while a chain is in progress. This, combined with the ability to use the stylus to play the game, makes it a worthwhile investment for anybody who's spent countless hours trying to crack 40,000 or 50,000 in the original time trial.
Online play is mediocre at best - the only available mode is garbage attack with optional items, which is an interesting diversion; but finding players is a slow process, and the lack of a standardized rating system makes posting your high scores elsewhere more competetive.
If you already have a DS, there's no question about picking this up if you're a seasoned PdP/TA fan. If you don't have a DS, buy one, then buy other games so you don't feel like you paid $150 for one game.
Customer Review: One of the best puzzle games I've played
Summary: 5 Stars
The concept is simple - line up three or more matching tiles and they disappear. Build combos for even more points, and see how long you last as they move up the screen faster and faster. I'm a puzzle game addict and I love this one. I got hooked on the GBA version and was delighted that they came out with a DS version. Best yet is that while there are improvements to the game, they didn't completely change it. You can use the touch-screen if you want, but you aren't forced to. I love that because I prefer not using it.
