Puzzle Guzzle is an action puzzle game in vein of classics like Tetris except faster paced and evolved for the PSP. The goal is to complete shapes using blocks that drop down. Puzzle Guzzle features three puzzle modes, each with multiple impossible-to-put-down gameplay styles and mini games. In addition to hot puzzle intensity, the game pushes the player to progress and face off against opponents by offering loads of unlockable content. [Agetec Inc.]

It's cute, fun, and for some extra whimsy it gives you a daily fortune reading as well. At twenty dollars, this game should be selling like crazy.

Puzzle Guzzle is a good buy for gamers of all skill levels who love puzzlers, but it is not for those who play puzzle games casually. PG is moderately hardcore and will take some time to learn; mastering it could take weeks or months.

Though a bit square, this puzzle game fits nicely into any lazy day.

Despite having an annoying audio side, Puzzle Guzzle is one of the best $20 games I have played in a long time.

Puzzle Guzzle is weird, but it’s a feature-packed bargain at 20 bucks. If you’re a fan of puzzle games, it’s worth the money despite its oddball quirks.

While the concept holds strong, the game can become repetitive fast and doesn't always end with a logical finale. Hopefully with some modification to the formula they can make a sequel that solves some of these problems, but as of now this is likely a niche game at best.

Despite its flaws, Puzzle Guzzle is still fun and the amount of extra content it offers is nice. But unlike the great puzzle games before it, Puzzle Guzzle just isn't as intuitive or addictive, which are critical for a high quality puzzler.

It does a lot of things right and only suffers from not being flashy or overly innovative.

Not only is the overall presentation forgettable, it's relentlessly so.

Most puzzles games should be easy to pick up and play, yet hard to master. But Puzzle Guzzle forces you to think diagonally, which can be a bit mind bending.

Puzzle Guzzle makes an attempt to bring something unique to the puzzle genre, but the final project just lacks the compulsory effect that a truly great puzzle game should have. This is not a game I expect anyone to play for hours on end.
