Af ter the disappointing Pokemon Sta dium, many players may groan at the news of yet another Pikachu-in fested game. Fear not, however, because Pokemon Puzzle League resembles classic puzzle games like Tetris more than anything else. The actual Pokemon in this game are used merely as a theme and not much more. The basic game in Puzzle League involves a series of differ ent-colored falling blocks. Players must line three of the same color in a row. Once this is done, the blocks disappear and those stacked on top fall down. The twist is that the blocks are manipulated after they land, not while they fall, as in Tetris. The blocks are moved by switching a block with its neighbor. - The game is a little confusing at first, but players will soon be doing all kinds of combos once ^ they get the hang of it. The competitive aspect emerges when more than three blocks of the same color are placed in a row, causing several rows of blocks to be placed on top of the ri val’s stack. The first player whose blocks reach the top of the screen loses. There are several types of game play, such as a marathon mode, a time trial and a competitive two- player head-to-head mode. All have the Pokemon theme. However, the basic block game is the essence of Pokemon Puzzle League. This game is different enough from Tetris to be new and exciting, and yet it has the addictive qualities that makes puzzle games great. Pokemon Puzzle League should prove entertaining for both Poke mon fans and haters. (Grade: B+) Ready to Rumble Boxing Round 2 System: Playstation Genre: Sports Developer: Midway Ready to Rumble 2 is a game with a lot of potential, but its quirks quickly make it too much to deal with. Players can choose from 20 fighters, including Shaquille O'Neal, though the reason for his inclusion is a mystery. The graph ics are decent and the career mode is detailed enough to keep the most hard-core boxing fan interested. Training sessions that allow the characters to hulk up take reality of this game to a level not seen in most sports games. However, this aspect is merely novelty. Who re ally wants to do virtual jump rop ing? Coaches even shout advice during the matches, but, thankful ly, they can be turned off. That is where the game’s significant posi tive aspects end. Game control can be sluggish and trouble with dodging and punching is extremely annoying. The computer-controlled charac ters can get fast enough that the user is forced to frantically hit but tons in order to have any chance ot survival. Neither reality fans nor strategy-minded players will ap preciate this. The game does b player mode that will; one who has ever had: who refused to do the, game also has tourna- comparable to those fighting games, that a two players to battle, of fighters or to goth: dividual tournament! game worth renting.l owning.
