PS2 Puyo Puyo Fever - Shipping Today

NCS Game Synopsis
 ©NCSX▪ Compile's fabled puzzle game series hops to a new version changes not seen since the Sun Puyo was introduced on Saturn many moons ago. The colorful intro screen and game no longer stars the affable munchkin known as Arle Arja. She's gone somewhere but perhaps she'll return one day. An equally effervescent blonde who wears a Puyo hat atop her golden locks makes her debut in Puyo Puyo Fever. Similar to Ms Arja's escapades, our heroine meets and competes against oddly appointed characters in games of puzzle matching action to determine winner and pecking order.

   Once the game begins, the familiar Puyos rain down in groups of two. The graphics are shinier than previous incarnations and each duo of Puyos bounce like buoyant jelly once they hit the ground. New shapes include elbow Puyos, teardrop Puyos, yin/yang Puyos and big Puyos which both break up into 4 separate Puyos once they hit the ground. Sprightly sound effects and yelping voices also accompany the visual bounces for that immersive experience. On each player's gaming area, background graphics splash a little bit of color and substance to the visual simplicity. Puyo Puyo Fever adds an aptly named Fever Meter to the game which lies to the side of each gamer's window. It's made up of 7 circles which measure your Fever level and one starts filling up the Fever by setting up chain combos of at least 2 linked Puyo pops. Set off combos when the meter is full and shining like a beacon and you'll see a bunch of 3-D effects on your side of the screen as the Puyo stacks move around in a cinematic circus show. The camera will zoom in on the Puyos and show them being popped in 3-D isometric action.

   Linking a number of combos together will throw down a commensurate amount of transparent Puyos on your opponent which blocks its color matching capabilities. Create a mega-chain of at least 5 linked Puyo pops and you'll potentially squash a big transparent Puyo on your opponent which takes up the space of four regular Puyos.
