Chris Buffa Writes:
"By the grace of maturity and testosterone, we escaped the virtual pet craze and took our rightful places as sexy men. Then Capcom struck a deal with Neopets and Infinite Interactive, the team behind the enjoyable Puzzle Quest, and now we find ourselves regressing and wondering what a Yurble is. Neopets Puzzle Adventure is the DS game we cannot resist.
It's not all that surprising, given Puzzle Quest's success and Capcom's pedigree. What we have is a cute yet addictive puzzle game in which you wander the massive land of Neopia meeting new characters and going on well over 150 missions, competing against other creatures in a furious bout of puzzling. Except instead of playing a Bejeweled clone, it's Reversi, also known as Othello. Here, the goal is to make sure your color dominates the eight-by-eight grid by turning over your opponent's pieces to match your own."
Proving that it sometimes pays to blatantly rip off other peoples' ideas, Neopets were originally unleashed upon the world via the internet in 1999, four years after the birth of Pokemon. Like Nintendo's pocket monster franchise, Neopets are virtual pets which can be tamed, trained, and interacted with in a variety of ways, albeit through Neopets.com rather than a highly popular Gameboy game.
GameVortex writes: "Neopets Puzzle Adventure is a fun game to play. There are disadvantages to the Wii version, most notably being the small text size. But there are also some really good advantages as well; the story is a lot longer and there are more in-depth characters. I recommend that you get them both. Besides, it gives you more virtual prizes that way".
Back in 2007, Wii owners were served a shoddy port of a good game in Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. Once again, Wii owners are served up a broken version of an Infinite Interactive title. The Wii version of Neopets Puzzle Adventure is technically baffling, with broken framerates, aggravating hiccups, and other programming problems that really damage the experience. Neopets fanatics pining for a fix will do better to look to the superior (and cheaper) DS version rather than this rushed Wii project.
