Video Game Reviews of Super Puzzle Fighter II
Customer Review: Consider the technology involved
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved it on the PS1, love it here. There are some reviews out there that knock the port for its lower quality music. I say consider the technology involved. Do you really think you can get CD quality music that spans over 500 MB on an original PS1 CD (still more than a cartridge can hold if the music is compressed) in a 5 to 30 MB cartridge? If you think you can without sacrificing sound quality or the quality of the game itself then yes, there is a Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny does poop out painted chicken eggs to celebrate the ressurrection of the Christ.
Other than that (heh) the game holds up on the portable format. If you wanted music then buy the soundtrack to the game. If you want one of the most addictive Tetris clones available, buy this. Yes, I too get skeptical when people make pronouncements like that, but in this case it's true. Yet another puzzle game to take with you on plane/train/car/bus trips.
One of the reviewers here is right though. In Street Puzzle mode the computer seems to be moving that much faster than you and there's no hope of winning unless you randomly set down pieces (because eventually their will be masses of colored blocks that will bust). But you can win.
BTW, don't trust Vijay Boyapati to give an honest review. I am not a Capcom shill as he says. I'm simply reviewing on the game's merits and he sees fit to attack the other reviewers simply because they don't agree with him (which really pisses me off). I haven't had the chance to try the two player mode but I find the rest of the game fun. Is it an exact port of the PSOne version? No! Gee, now I wonder why. To give the game a 2 out of 5 stars just because he didn't like the two player mode is dishonest and I wouldn't trust his reviews at all. Get a second opinion.

Summary: 5 Stars
No doubt about it, its a great game. I never have had any memory bugs as in the other reviews, I have completed all of the challenges, and they are still saved months later. The learning curve is pretty big, but once you learn it, its awesome. If ya wanna try the arcade one, get a CPS2 system emulator and download the rom (although I can't say I did this, I know it exists). Pay attention to the learning video, and always just work on combos, and don't break little blocks, and lay pieces very fast. I wish there was someone here at my university that played it, I could go on for hours playing this. For an added challenge, try to beat the game with Dan (something I did on hard mode last night), or unlock master mode and go at it on there (not the toughest thing in the world). Although, I do feel master mode w/ Dan will never happen over here.Customer Review: a really really really fun game

It is true. This game has a ton of programming flaws. I can't count the times that my saved data has been deleted. Infact, it's happened so many times that I don't even try to complete any of the street puzzles anymore. As well, there's a lot of game play issues, like gems jumping straight to the bottom, even though this is very rare, and the multi play is littered with problems. But, in spite of all these problems, I still love this game. the learning curve is HUGE, and I've played almost every day since the title came out and it's still challenging. Anyone looking for a challenge? You'll find it right here, and believe me, you won't be disapointed.Customer Review: Hope you think and move as fast as a computer!

...because this game has three speeds... playable, fast, and insane. Even my husband, who is normally the game guru, says this game is hard. The instructions don't help much in explaining the strategy behind the game, but they do include a "training demo." I'd suggest you watch the demo at least twice, because there's a lot to this game. Also, hone your skills on the "easy" Arcade mode or play against a friend before trying to tackle any of the other modes. I didn't find it as addicting as other people said... I found it more confusing than anything. Just when you think you're doing great, suddenly you're dead because the computer did something that you missed since you didn't have time to watch what it was doing!Since I don't know anyone else my age (I plead the fifth!) who owns a GBA and can't try it in game link mode, I fear that this game will be the one with the shortest history in my game collection -- 4 hours. Oh, well... off to the local game store to see how many pennies I'll get for turning it in as a "used game."
