Are you looking for a game that is awesome fun for video-game-on-the-brain friends as well as for a visiting relative that's never heard of Playstation? Well, Puzzle Fighter may be just what you've been searching for.

A cross between Tetris and traditional fighting games, Puzzle Fighter is simple to learn. You can easily play without having to memorize a gazillion special moves and secret codes. In one one-minute lesson from someone sitting on the floor in front of the television you can learn enough about the game to challenge an expert, and perhaps win!

But wait! Expert gamers shouldn't shy away from this one -- set yourself to a higher level and you'll even find that even grandma can be a challenging opponent. The fast pace will keep you hopping and your palms sweating.

Puzzle Fighter is a great game to play alone or with a house full of guests -- someone always want's to challenge the winner! Watch out though, Puzzle Fighter can be addicting!

This game is incredibly enjoyable and addicting. People who have never played, and those who rarely play video games period, have a great time playing it. It makes a great addition to a party because it is easy to learn. However, its big downfall is that it gets real boring real fast in the one-player mode. The difficulty is there but the real fun lies in playing against friends. Many nights in college were devoured by hours and hours of playing this game. I highly recommend it if you frequently have another person or group of people available. If you mainly play alone, there have to be better puzzle games out there.

Girls like it!

Every girl I have showed this game to (no I didn't show it to my mom, or yours) has without exception been fascinated by it and thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Need I say more?

If you can get this game, IT IS WORTH IT.

Due to the rarity of SPFII, I decided to write this to contribute more "I WANT THIS GAME NOW!" fanaticism.

This game is a very interesting single player challenge, even though the first two levels of easy mode are way too simple. Once the difficulty steps up, so does the skill of which you face off against. Even after you beat Hard mode, there is still one more level of difficulty to beat, which you must get going through the Puzzle mode. After you've thoroughly exhausted yourself with that, then the real fun begins. Invite friends over and challenge them. Within minutes, the entire house will be rocking. This game ranks as one of my top 10 video games ever played, and will continue to be in that ranking. BELIEVE THE HYPE!

I loved this game!

I love Super Puzzle Fighter 2. It is extreamly fun. I am a 14 year old girl and I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Stratagie (SP?) games. Super Puzzle fighter two is like a new and improved TETRIS game. I like tetris but not nearly is much as this game. My Mom, 38, who doesnt really enjoy playstation absoloutly LOVES this game. My 5 year old brother even enjoys his game because you get to match the colors. This game is something the whole family wil enjoy. The only problem with this game is its very, very rare. We have not found a copy with a reasonable price yet. My mom refuses to buy a used compy for almost a hundred bucks. I dont blame her. Well, We will keep trying to find one!

Best puzzle game ever?

This puzzle game is the best. It has great graphics and it's easy to learn. This is possibly the best multiplayer game for a party. Anyone can learn it and can become good at it very quickly. The only flaw is the singleplayer. It can be sometimes really hard or it just gets boring facing the computer.

Buy it!

If you like puzzle games like Tetris, well, this makes those other games look like last night's dinner (after a bit of digestion)! Ya, I know the game is rather expensive.... know why? IT IS WORTH EVER PENNY! Think you can find this game used at the local game shop? Try again! People who own this game WILL NEVER SELL IT unless they really need the money or they some how came across one cheap and only intend to sell it.... as I did! So you pay 90 or even 100 dollars........ BIG DEAL. New games cost around 50 dollars and most are not even as fun as Super Puzzle Fighter! You can literally play this game for hours on end when you get into competition with your friends. Single player is no bore either. There are lots of things to unlock in "Street Mode" and the replay value on this game is infinite. You will NEVER TIRE of this game!

Addicting!

This fun game is a cross between Tetris/Bust a Move and Street Fighter. Anyone who is into puzzle/coordination games like Bust a Move will be hooked on this game. The characters are cute and fight in the middle of the screen as you build power gems and crash them. I used to love playing this game alone for hours, especially winning the prizes in Street Fighter mode, but once I started playing against friends, I can no longer play alone. You and your opponent attack each other as you break the gems. This game is easy to learn, even for the not-so-coordinated, very competitive, and extremely addicting. I've had it for 2 months and find no need to get another game.

First puzzle fighter, then Tetris

A while back we previewed a new Capcom game that didn't quite seem to fit into their normal fighter outfit. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (an almost self-parodying name, there) surprised everyone with its cute, super-deformed characters from the Street Fighter and Dark Stalker games, Street Fighter II-like combos, and intense, strategy driven gameplay. Here was the puzzle game to beat all puzzle games, plus it had all our favorite Capcom characters. How could you go wrong? Puzzle Fighter follows the basic two-player puzzle premise, where paired objects drop and stack into columns. In this case, they're colored gems, and by stacking four or more like colors together in a square or rectangle they make large gems, called Power Gems. The Crash Gems also drop, and these are the ones that shatter the gems. So far, this is pretty standard puzzle fare, but Puzzle Fighter really excels in strategy. A little luck does come into the game, but the real determining factor is planning. Not only do you want to stack your gems so a lot will bust at a time, you want to stack them so multiple colors will chain react in succession. Bust a lot, and gems will rain down on your opponent. These games won't be able to bust until they count down from five. The pattern that your gems fall on your opponent are determined by your character, and vice versa, so if you know your opponent's drop pattern, you can set up for that. This is really the key to Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo success.Perhaps the most satisfying part of the game is setting up the multi-hit combos. When you pull one of these off, your character attacks your opponent's character, complete with the sound effects from the original fighting games. It makes the game extremely exciting, and gets you shouting at your opponent like a madman! Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is an excellent puzzle game, and is fun even when you're playing alone. It doesn't matter if you like puzzlers or not, you owe it to yourself to check this game out.

The Ultimate Party Game

Easy to learn and difficult to master, this game is best played head-to-head. It's standard Tetris gameplay -- colored blocks fall from the top, settling towards the bottom, and you and your opponent have to stack them to try to get the same-colored blocks stacked next to each other. Because periodically, glittering gems fall down from the top... and when a gem lands on a block, that block and all other blocks of that color that touch it are destroyed. If your stack reaches the top of the screen, the game's over.

But here's the head-to-head trick that makes it fun; for every block of yours that's shattered, a rain of blocks falls on your opponent. Burst one or two blocks, maybe one or two fall on your nemesis. But if you can break twenty or thirty blocks in one shot, then a hail of blocks will fall on your opponent, burying him and probably ending the game.

So it presents wealths of strategy: Do you try and break up a bunch of tiny blocks, hoping that a continual minor assault will overwhelm him eventually? Or do you spend your game not touching anything, trying to get the big forty-block payoff, all the while hoping your opponent doesn't drop a bunch of blocks over your elaborately-created setup? I've had a lot of occasions where everyone just played Super Puzzle Fighter all evening.

Quite possibly the best of the Tetris clones, this one is easy to pick up but offers an incredible array of strategy for expert players. WAY recommended.
