Puyo Pop was designed by the creators of Sonic (Sonic Team) for Sega Japan but fortunately the rest of the world (even GameCube and XBox) can now enjoy this highly addictive title.

 Puyo Puyo Sun64 Review
Puyo Puyo Sun64, programmed by the Japanese developer Compile, follows in the tradition of the popular "Puyo Puyo game series"for both good and bad.
Puyo Puyo also supports the Rumble Pak, which shakes your controller whenever your opponent drops garbage blocks on you.
Overall: All in all, Puyo Puyo is far from being a ground-breaking title, but given the shortage of puzzle games on the N64 we’d really love to see the game to be released over here.

 Puyo Pop - GameCritics.com
When Puyo disappears on your screen, it transfers over to your opponent's in the form of "Block Puyo." Block Puyo can easily ruin the setup of combos for the other person, and with subsequent chains, you can easily stack more than half a screen full of them, forcing the opponent to whittle down the pile.
The Puyo are easy to distinguish, but the playfields are a little on the dark side (most of them being brown or gray).
In Puyo, there is a technique called "quick turn," which allows you to rotate the falling puyo in a single narrow column.

There a 'puzzle' section which presents Puyo challenges along the lines of "remove all the Puyo's" or "dissappear 10 Puyo's in one go," but you're fighting the one second delay and the poor graphics all the way.

 Puyo Pop Fever (Nintendo DS) Review at RewiredMind.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Puyo Pop Fever is as unlikely to be released in the UK as ever, so we thought we’d take a look at the US edition of Sega’s Tetris-a-like.
Multi-group clearances are where the big points are, with chains of moves sending a rain of blocker puyo down on your opponent’s board to hinder their progress.
When this occurs, the playing field clears (on your side of the screen) and you’re given a preconfigured set of puyo, and the necessary means to clear them all within one or two moves.

Super Puyo Puyo was their first foray into Super Famicom territory, which was essentially a port of Puyo Puyo with cleaner graphics.
After the success of Puyo Puyo Tsu (and a few different versions of it such as Super Puyo Puyo Tsu, Puyo Puyo Tsu Remix, etc. making it the Street Fighter II of puzzle games), Puyo Puyo Sun was released for the Saturn, Nintendo 64, Playstation, PC and in the Arcades.

 Gamerz-Edge - Puyo Pop Fever Review for Nintendo DS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The controls for Puyo Pop Fever are simple and intuitive: the D-Pad moves the puyo pieces, the A and B buttons rotate the pieces, and that’s it.
These puyos are colorless and can only be eliminated by destroying puyos adjacent to them, so while they’re not horribly difficult to get rid of, they quickly become cumbersome in large numbers.
In fact, even on Normal difficulty (on the hard campaign, which is eight difficult puyo matches in a row), it’s nearly impossible to beat some of the opponents without trying dozens and dozens of times, and even then it feels as though it’s partially a matter of luck.

 G4 - Feature - Puyo Pop Fever Review
The Puyo Pop series has long-since proved that pruning ponderous piles of pretty-colored blobs can be positively addicting, especially when playing with a partner or a pack of friends.
Puyo Pop Fever on the DS provides all the simple and compelling gameplay of the previous Puyo puzzlers, plus some new tweaks, and multiplayer options galore.
Both screens are filled with puyo pits when you have eight players going at it, but when you’re playing against the computer, the game only uses the upper screen, disappointingly saving the bottom for the antics of your selected characters.

 Puyo Pop Hands-On Impressions - N-Gage News at GameSpot
Versions of Puyo Pop have appeared on many platforms to date, and soon, one will be available for the Nokia N-Gage, just in time for the system's October release.
Despite differences in appearance, gameplay in Puyo Pop is reminiscent of Tetris (as well as games like Columns and Dr. Mario, which were inspired by the original Puyo Puyo), only more competitive in nature.
It's possible to create huge combos of popping puyos, and in so doing, you'll rack up huge points and also put the hurt on your opponent--landing big combos causes nasty fl-colored puyos to drop on the opponent's side, and these can't easily be eliminated.

At the heart of Puyo Pop Fever is a Tetris-based game that is truly addicting, fun and somewhat unique even though the Tetris influence is undeniable.
