Planet Puzzle League (Nintendo DS, 2007)

I still have an SNES mostly to play Tetris Attack, and this DS incarnation is something I've waited for for a long time. While I agree with the other reviewer that this doesn't hold a candle to TA in terms of music, sound effects, backgrounds, etc, I don't think that hurts the game overly much. It can be played with or without a stylus; I prefer it because my thumbs don't get sore after only a few rounds like the do with a d-pad. The convenience of being able to grab it anywhere, anytime, without getting in front of the TV makes it all the more addicting. The major downside is that I can't challenge my husband without another DS - but on the up side, once my sister gets a copy of the game I can play her from hundreds of miles away over wifi!

The basic puzzle play you know and love is there, with some new twists like a daily play record. I do wish that it could hold more than one person's file at a time like most games do, or that it could record more than one top score for all the non-daily-play modes. The implementation details like these aren't perfect, but once you're addicted you'll forget all that.
