Sure, you can group a couple same colored gems together and break them but this only does minimal damage to the opponent. The real trick is to build up super gems and go for the crushing blow. This is not without it's hazards though. The longer you go, the more likely the opponent is to drop the timer gems on to your side and ruin your entire plan so you must pick and choose your times to attack carefully or you may end up K.
There a plenty of game modes to satisfy just about any gamer. The first mode available is the Arcade mode. This mode is dictated by the difficulty setting you chose. For example, if you are set on easy, you only need to defeat 3 opponents to win but on normal, you must defeat 8 and on hard, you must beat 8 extra difficult opponents. The next mode is the vs. This is a good old-fashioned 2-player battle to the end. Each player selects a character, and off you go.
The final mode is the street puzzle mode. This is a one-match game that, if you win, unlocks a special goodies menu. I won't give away what is available, but it is worth winning. I have said it before and I will say it again. Graphics are really secondary to gameplay in a good puzzle game.
If the graphics don't just plain suck, a puzzle game can get by on gameplay alone. The backgrounds are all pretty cool and even add to the overall aura of the matches. I think that the developers went the extra mile and added decent graphics to go with a fun game.
I love games that allow you to beat up on your buddies by using your mind and skill instead of brute force. There are plenty of game modes to keep you playing into the wee hours of the night. If you are a fan of puzzle games, you will really enjoy this game. It is one of those rare games that can be called fun for the whole family.
If you have not played this game, it is definitely worth a look. Take characters from Cap-com's best fighting games, add in elements of Tetris, and you get one addicting puzzle game. Apparently their brains haven't been turned to jelly by blows to the head administered during the Street Fighter games - perhaps they're genetically engineered to have thick skulls or something. There are eight ordinary fighters and three hidden fighters to choose from, including Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li, Morrigan and Akuma.
But they're a little out of shape Well, one of the things that are popular in Japan are Super Deformed Characters. To create a Super Deformed Character, you take any character, from an animation or a game, increase the size of their head, and shorten their body. And so all the characters in Puzzle Fighter are drawn in this style, which gives the game a very cutesy feel.
The way the game works is that there are two boxes on either side of the screen, one for you and one for the character you're fighting. In the middle of the screen are the two fighters, set against the background of the character you're facing, pretty much like Street Fighter 2.
As soon as the announcer yells 'Fight! You can rotate the gems, and move them left to right, till they hit the bottom of the screen. Soon, a crash gem will come along, which is a circular gem - drop the crash gem onto any gem of the same colour, and that gem will disappear. Plus, any gems of the same colour next to that gem will disappear too, plus any next to that, and so on.
You can get a kind of chain reaction going. It sounds complicated, but it's pretty easy to pick up once you see it on screen. You lose if your screen fills up, so you've got to keep nuking those gems faster than your opponent.
But this is supposed to be a fight, so there's another angle. Each gem you dispose of appears in your opponent's box in the form of a counter-gem. These gems count down each time you drop a gem, from five down till one, at which point they become ordinary gems. Until then, you can only destroy them by blowing up a gem next to them.
And if you place your ordinary gems together in a rectangular shape, they join together to form a big super-gem, which creates more counter-gems when you destroy it. You can really mess up your opponent's strategy by dumping a huge load of counter-gems on his screen, so remember to be really vindictive in two player mode. The Street Fighters aren't completely idle while all this is going on - when counter gems drop onto your opponent's screen, your fighter will attack or taunt them.
If you drop below ten gems, your fighter will taunt your opponent. Get ten to thirty counter gems, and your fighter will use a special move on your opponent - get thirty or above, and they'll use a super move, which is a great way to rub your opponent's nose in it. Choosing Super Puzzle Mode lets you challenge various super-hard computer opponents, in return for a secret item. Capcom, king of the character crossover games e. Each character requires a different strategy, adding another facet to the furious action.
Score a combination of gem crashes and be rewarded with a special move from your character. The tiny avatars taunt each other, and it's easy to get attached to the pint-sized pugilists. Be careful not to get distracted by their antics! You can also crush your opponent with an avalanche of counter gems and trigger your characters' special finishing move.
Winning, the obvious goal, fails to compare to the exultation of watching spectacular finishing moves like Chun Li exploding a massive fireball to knockout her foes.
After destroying all human challengers, you can unlock 48 "goodies" ranging from mundane character color changes to several secret playable characters: Akuma, Dan, and Devilot.
The display menu gives no less than 11 display options, varying from the lowest end of x resolution with colors to x with bit color. High-end machines produce graphics surpassing the PlayStation version, and most computer owners will be able to find a perfect balance between performance and graphics quality. Sound quality is also improved on the PC, given that the speaker systems on most computers outperform the majority of television speakers that limit console sounds.
Each taunt, smack and yell of the tiny characters rings true. Chiefly, the game allows for only two save slots to store data.
