All of this wonderful single player and multiplayer comes polished in an aforementioned pastel graphical environment at which you can't help but smile.

For players who are in the market for a good single player and multiplayer game that is easy to pick up and play, this game is ideal.

The gameplay is what makes Puyo Pop Fever a brilliant design. It's a timeless design that works well in a handheld environment, and it's immensely addictive when you discover the mechanics that can wipe out a chunk of the filled bin in a single shot.

GameZone
It's got several challenges, three endless modes, and more speed than any Puyo Pop game before it.
82
My Gamer
The main single player does have a weak story line, but the multiplayer is a total riot.

This is one of the best games out on the DS right now, and the definitive version of the Puyo series to reach the states, though the Japan-only Puyo Puyo Party for Dreamcast still holds the title of best Puyo period.
80
GameSpy
Its simple controls and manic gameplay make the game stand out in a genre already filled with mediocrity. If you can get past the irritating voiceovers, you'll find an entertaining experience you can't wait to share with your friends.

Cheat Code Central
Puyo Pop Fever has lots of surprises and packs a lot of features - all of them useful. It's a really good version that makes good use of the dual screen, touch screen and wireless network.

"Best DS Game" seems a little weak, given the competition, so let me just say this: This much fun (plus multiplayer!) for $29.99 seems like highway robbery perpetrated against Atlus.

Modojo
It may feel somewhat familiar if you've played past incarnations of the series, but the multiplayer gaming and the innovative touch screen controls make it much more than a simple port.
80
Game Chronicles
An extremely fun and addicting puzzle game, which is just as fun as or more so than any previous version of the series.

G4 TV
This is undoubtedly the best Puyo title yet, giving you both old-school gameplay and new, along with well-rounded multiplayer and challenging difficulty.

N-Europe
Unique, quirky, but completely lovable; Puyo Pop Fever is a timeless puzzle game thats immensely fun to play. Classic stuff.

If you can tolerate the forcibly cute presentation, you'll find Puyo Pop Fever to be a solid, addictive puzzle game.

The trouble is it’s not especially outstanding either, and lacks the hook enjoyed by the likes of the Tetris or Bust-a-Move games.

While the core gameplay is fundamentally the same, Puyo Pop Fever just didn’t grab me like "Puyo Pop" on the GBA did. It’s still a good game, but there are a few other puzzlers on the DS that I think are worth your time over this one.

A videogame that, although still pleasant and enjoyable to play, feels more than a little stale and wholly regurgitated. [June 2006, p.123]

NGC Magazine UK
Neat and enjoyable, but surpassed by flashier, more compelling puzzlers. Feels like a launch game because it was. [June 2006, p.39]

The single player experience is good enough to practice on before you go into battle with your friends, but the battle itself is where the action is at.

AceGamez
At heart, Puyo Pop Fever is an entertaining and downright addictive little puzzler, and therefore gets the stamp of approval for those after something refreshingly light-hearted.

Nintendo Power
The touch screen gestures are an intriguing concept, but the traditional Control Pad and button controls still work better. [July 2005, p.99]

Despite its reputation as a Japanese classic, the real puzzle about Puyo Pop Fever is who needs it on DS?
