This game is a really fun, unique puzzle game. Instead of the usual puzzle games where pieces are falling from above (tetris, puyo pop) this game has you linking pieces together from the bottom up. Although, Puzzle Link 2 just came out. So, I would get the new one which has the same fun game with even more options.

While I found this game to be entertaining I wound up throwing it in the corner. This corner containing the deluge of Neo Geo pocket puzzle games that seems to grow and grow. While this still beats 99% of the non-Neo market handhelds as far as puzzle games go, it definitely does not match up to the real puzzle stars of Neo Geo (Namely Bust-a-Move pocket and Shanghai-mini). While the game does show slight novelty with the concept of having to line up blocks using connecting lines you build, I found myself looking forlornly over to Metal Slug 2 for some true Neo Geo joy. The unlocking of different creatures through the completion of puzzles seemed like a pokemon inspired afterthought by the creator in a lame attempt to add some replay value. What with the U.S. company being rudely interrupted in its manufacture of the best hand-held system ever made, this is still a good buy for those holding on to their systems. After all, who wants to run out and get a GameBoy after playing this system?
