One of the true great puzzle games of recent years. Easy to pick up and play, and challenging enough for a puzzle game veteran.

Cinescape
If nothing else, the four-player mode of the game is worth the entire purchase price. Highly addictive and fun, you’ll be playing this for hours.

All Game Guide
The use of bright colors and attractive character designs accent the uncluttered playfield to create an overall pleasing visual experience.

IGN
A fantastic puzzle game that's enhanced simply by letting a development team exploit the Game Boy Advance's link capabilities as far as it can go.

Game Informer
Hands-down the best GBA puzzle gmae thus far, and I guarantee you'll get as hooked as I did. Just remember to blink. [May 2002, p.89]

The joy of Puyo Pop lies in its gameplay.

GameCritics
Puyo Pop achieves what a good puzzle game asks for, simple execution yet addictive and deep fun, adding a distinctly weird Japanese flavor to a premise that originated in Russia.

Typifies the phrase "easy to learn, hard to master."

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Outside of "Tetris," "Tetris Attack," and "Pokemon Puzzle Challenge," this is probably the best handheld puzzle game around. [Mar 2002, p.146]

The first American portal version. [Feb 2003, p.97]

Play Magazine
The play is delightfully simple. [April 2002, p.66]

Computer and Video Games
Well, we'd still rather link gems in Puzzle Fighter than link blobs here and the mental gymnastics required to be good at this will deter the casual Tetris player. But still, it's enjoyable stuff.

Nintendo Power
The graphics and music are cute, and the 18 levels of Puyo popping are frantic and challenging. [Mar 2002, p.137]
