The minute you pop Planet Puzzle League into your DS, you'll automatically feel familiar with the game's overall gameplay aspects. If you've played games like Columns or even the original Puzzle League, you'll feel right at home here. Despite it's familiar aspects though, Planet Puzzle League still offers a good amount of fun for your DS. Using the stylus and touch screen allows you to manuver your blocks around to set up chain reactions, and actually gets old after a while thanks to the fact that there are no real rewards to earn the further you advance in the game. The real meat of Planet Puzzle League lies in the multiplayer and online options, which are second to none. Going head to head against another player is oh so much fun, and the Wi-Fi and online capabilities of the DS shines as you play against other players all over the world works surprisingly well, and when using the DS headset, you can even chat with your opponents. What kills Planet Puzzle League from being something really special is the game's overall gameplay elements, which we've seen before, and seen done better. That being said though, most of Planet Puzzle League is a great blast to play with the real meat and potatoes being found in the multiplayer options of the game, and for that alone it is worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Version of Puzzle League Ever, June 16, 2007

This is the DS version of the old Tetris Attack, Pokemon Puzzle Leagues and Puzzle League for the GBA.
You move the stylus to move certain colored blocks to line up vertically or horizontally with 2 blocks of the same color to make them disappear. There are several modes to play.
It has all of the old modes of those classics but adds a few more. There is one mode where you have a split second or so to move blocks to make them disappear.
It looks great and the whole vibe feels like the original Meteos from a few years back.
You can play against your friends online if you have a wireless connection with full chat using the special headphone peripheral using the friends codes.
Overall the game is really awesome and worth buying for your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Planet Puzzle League......, July 26, 2007

Puzzle games have never really been my strong suit. I love to play them but haven't really been all that good at them except for two games. Those being Dr. Mario & Pokemon Puzzle League. Give me those two games and I can stand my ground with just about anyone. To those in the know, Puzzle League started out as Panel de Pon or Tetris Attack(as it's known on these shores) and eventually seen different iterations as Pokemon Puzzle Challenge-Pokemon Puzzle League- and, lastly, as Puzzle League in the Dr. Mario/Puzzle League game for the Gameboy Advance. The game challenged players to flip two tile pairs in a bin left-to-right or right-to-left to form groups of three or more of like colors. In doing so, it would cause them to disappear and make room for more tiles which, in turn, could create combos and rack up your score with additional groupings. If the tiles reach the top of the screen, it's Game Over! While the game itself remains the same, the only difference with this game and its' previous incarnations is how the game is played controlwise(which is by using your stylus or, if you opt the old fashioned way, your D-pad) and the overall feel of the game. Intelligent Systems really went all out on this game and I'm glad they did. After the simpler version of Puzzle League in the Dr. Mario/Puzzle League game on the Gameboy Advance(which I totally beat in a day or so), it's good that they did. Everything is more robust and exciting this time around. It's still addictive after all these years. I just hope Nintendo will make a Dr. Mario puzzle game that's this good and I will be in my own lil 'puzzle heaven'...lol..

I hardly ever recommend a puzzle game unless it is really good and, folks, this game is awesome. I'm addicted all over again.
