http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/puzzle/puyopuyofever/review.html

"For a puzzle game to have real longevity, it needs to be able to successfully marry the two rather disparate concepts of a basic, easy-to-learn gameplay concept and significant strategic depth. Puyo Pop has had this from the beginning, and Puyo Pop Fever maintains this tradition. The new Fever gameplay helps pick up the pace, though its impact on the overall feel of the game isn't particularly radical. If you can tolerate the game's forcibly cute presentation, you'll find Puyo Pop Fever to be a solid, addictive puzzle game. "

OH NOES! GAMESPOT HATERZ TEH JAPAN!

'Scuse me, I'm gonna go take a bath now...

DFS.

 

[kiryogi]

Sinners. Wouldn't know a real puzzler!

 

[DECK'ARD]

The Fever Meter actually has quite a radical effect on the game to anyone who plays it in versus mode. You know, like it's meant to be played

Why does overly cute always get knocked down, but not forcibly 'mature'?

That does too, look not futher than BMX XXX.

BMXXX was to another degree. What I am talking about is games that have needlessly dark enviroments, cliche action stories or excuses for gore. Something like Bloodrayne.

 

[Kumiko Nikaido]

And Manhunt.

 

[Matlock]

And Metal Gear Solid 2.

 

[Lord Error]

Wait for the PSP version, with online play

Well damn! Why not just wait for the PS3, PS4, or PS5 versions, too!

 

[sprsk]

7.1 for puyo pop? crazy they are.

 

[RevenantKioku]

This game was a blast to play in the arcade. Although the Fever meter is QUITE significant in multiplayer.

fever adds alot of timing strategy to the game which i think is really great. puyo fever rules!

 

[Soul4ger]

Can't wait to get this. It ships tomorrow, right?

 

[Mejilan]

I'm gonna have to pick this one up.

 

[BuddyC]

man, sp0rsk is so right. fever mode is crazy multiplayer fun if both people grasp it.

cheery * 3
cute * 3
color * 9

Note to Yuji Naka from Sega PR: Need more shades of grey and trenchcoats to achieve higher score from image obsessed, gaijin reviewers.

 

[Gantz]

Puyo Pop Fever is fucking addicting. I was a little turned off by the cutesy anime but damn I can't stop playing.

 

[isamu]

I guess the lack of replies in this thread is a result of the lack of interest which is a result of the lack of an online mode for either PS2 or Xband. Way to go Sega

 

[WarPig]

And Metal Gear Solid 2.

Forced maturity wasn't the problem there. Well, except for the Otacon-fucked-his-stepmother part...

DFS.

 

[AniHawk]

Well, except for the Otacon-fucked-his-stepmother part...

And his sister being in love with him.

Damn, that was an awkward part of the game to watch.

His sister wasn't into it, I thought? They were just friends. Or some shit. I've probably blocked it out in any event.

Talking to Kojima the first time after MGS2 was strange. I mean, going through the motions and asking all the usual questions about Snake Eater. In the back of my mind I just wanted to grab him and shake him and yell "WHAT THE FUCK, MAN? WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?"

[ferricide]

In the back of my mind I just wanted to grab him and shake him and yell "WHAT THE FUCK, MAN? WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?"

yeah, cos nobody else is just doing the straightforward military shit, and we'd rather seem him just waste his time on that shit. =)

meanwhile puyo pop fever's art is boring shit. i'm so tired of the ultrageneric cutesy anime-meets-powerpuff girls shit that's been coming out of japan all this generation.
