Totally. Too bad "Puzzle League" is possibly the worst version of it yet.

Well the core gameplay is there and intact. But the presentation aspects are minimal. There is no story mode. You manually set the CPU's difficulty/level before you start and only play a single game. There are no characters, no particular art direction.
I wouldn't mind if it had online wifi play... but the GBA doesn't do that. I'm praying for a DS version. And please Nintendo, bring back story mode for crying out loud!
How about multiboot? Can you play the game with one cart and multiple GBAs? Story mode doesn't matter to me and while the art and most of the music is missing that's forgivable as long as it plays as well as the SNES original (I've even put up with the GB/C/A and N64 versions so there is no version I wouldn't play). How's the farkin gameplay?!

Wow, that sounds sucky. I was sort of into the idea of this. Then I saw it wasn't going to sell at a bargain-y price, and now it lacks a story mode. Bleh.
Enjoyed Tetris Attack quite a bit, and I was hoping I could count on a mildly modified portable version, not something stripped down. Oh well. Guess the gameplay's there, but it does sound like it has little to no personality.

Ahh, well, Shroom described the offenses exactly as I would've. The gameplay is there, and pretty much everything else (including most of the classic music) has been stripped away. I appreciate that you're interested specifically in my opinion, the only reason I didn't reply earlier is because I thought Shroom did a great job of summarizing all of my issues with the game and I didn't want to seem redundant.

It wasn't even an opinion or review, but facts.
The game truly doesn't feature a story mode. The game truly doesn't have characters. The art truly is minimal compared to the previous versions. No arguing is possible.
Whether you find this good or bad is all up to you, though.

Yes. There's a link two-player mode in there... but couldn't try it. I don't know if it works with a single cart or if you need two.

So, is it worth the money? And what are the differences between this new GBA compilation with Dr. Mario, and the Gamecube Nintendo Puzzle Collection (J) that came with a link cable which allowed you to play Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Cookie and Panel de Pon on your GBA as well?AtomicShroom said:It wasn't even an opinion or review, but facts.
