Far from being the cash-in we'd all expected, this is one of the best puzzlers money can buy. Excellent stuff indeed.

Everything about the game is fun and everything about the production value says quality.

Based on the classic "Tetris Attack," Pokemon Puzzle League is a highly addictive substance. [Jan 2004, p.189]

Should puzzle fans give Puzzle League a whirl, even if they don't dig on Pokemon? Hell, yeah.

If you like "Tetris" or were fortunate enough to have played "Tetris Attack" you'll love this new take on the series.

By far one of the best games that I have played this year.

Even though it's yet another take on Tetris, Pokemon Puzzle League has enough game modes to give it extra depth, and learning the art of advanced chains and combos will take a long time.

There could be a bit more variety to the sound clips, but it doesn't matter much--after the fourth or fifth time you hear "Pi-ka-chu!" you'll be pushed to the brink of madness anyway.

Hot Games
A ton of alternative playing options (two-player versus, puzzles, timed play, and more), and hidden characters to unlock, so the game never gets boring.

"Tetris Attack" has been dipped into a big vat of melted Pokemon goo, creating a shell of backgrounds and music that's now called Pokemon Puzzle League.

There's plenty of differing modes of play so even the most jaded gamer can find something to like in this package. It comes, highly recommended!

Those who've already played "Tetris Attack" may want to take a pass on this as well, as the addition of the 3D mode and the Pokémon license aren't enough to justify this purchase.

The variety of game modes is there, the cool Pokemon license is there, the excellent effort of NST is there, but the core of the game-- the gameplay-- just doesn't have that certain piece of magic and accessibility that separates the Tetrises from the wannabes.

Core Magazine
It takes Tetris Attack and offers so little in the way of new material that it redefines the word "shameless."

No Pokémon fans should even consider a purchase or a rent. This game is just a sick grab for your cash. I'm so ashamed.
