Review Pokémon Puzzle League taps into the popularity of the Pokémon character and story line, incorporating both into a high-action, challenging puzzle game. Pokémon Puzzle League presents several different 2-D and 3-D game play modes. Like most puzzle games, this one starts off easily. Yet as the player reaches higher levels, the challenge become more intense, the puzzles become more difficult, and the game play speed increases. As a result, Pokémon Puzzle League takes just minutes to learn, but countless hours to master.As each level is completed, players are rewarded with graphics, animation and sound effects taken from the Pokémon animated TV series. While this game is fun and challenging as a one player game (against the computer), it's even more exciting when played in a two-player, simultaneous action, split-screen mode. Youngsters may enjoy it playing with contemporaries or with older people. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Approved winner.Reviewed by Jason R. Rich, Parents' Choice® 2000 -- From Parents' Choice®Pokémon is a certifiable phenomenon - calling it anything short of that would be foolish. Between the half dozen Pokémon-themed video games, the cartoon, the card games, the movies, and the other merchandising, it's been proven that if you slap a Pokémon on something, people will buy it. And while at first glance Pokémon Puzzle League appears to be the continued exploitation of the popular Pokémon property, there's actually a decent puzzle game to be found here as well. Once in the game, puzzle fans may experience an intense sensation of déjà vu, and with good reason, as Pokémon Puzzle League uses the exact same gameplay found in the old SNES and Game Boy title Tetris Attack. For those not familiar with Tetris Attack, you're given a Tetris-like field full of colored blocks, which you must arrange into horizontal or vertical lines of three or more, all the while rows of blocks are being pushed up from the bottom. If you are unable to clear out enough blocks to keep the entire field from filling up, it's curtains. While not as versatile as the game mechanics found in other puzzle games, Pokémon Puzzle League compensates with several different gameplay modes. There's a single-player game where you face off against computer-controlled Pokémon trainers, the goal being to fill your opponent's field by clearing out blocks on your field. The two-player mode functions in the exact same fashion. The spa service mode requires you to clear all the blocks down to a certain designated point; the time zone mode pits you against the clock to clear as many blocks as you can before time runs out; and the marathon mode, much like the single-player mode in Tetris, just keeps going and going. Then there's the mind-bending puzzle mode, where you are given a number of blocks that you must clear out with a limited number of moves; this mode can prove to be both extremely addictive and difficult. Unlike Tetris Attack, however, the two-player, marathon, and time
