PSP Review: Go! Puzzle PSP (2008)
There are plenty of puzzle games on Sony’s PSP and the latest puzzle compilation is actually a port of PS3 game called “Go! Puzzle” (go figure). It is actually misleading since there are 3 different puzzle games rolled into 1 package.
In Skyscraper, you must climb to the top of the building by clearing each floor. The way you do it is by navigating from left to right by stepping on the same colored tiles only. It is a timed event, so you must do this pretty fast or else start from the bottom of the building again. Swizzle Blocks task you with forming a square of 4 colored tiles to clear them. Occasionally, new blocks will be added from the left and from the right of the playing field, and you must rotate the tiles to clear them. Last game in the package is Aquatica where different colored mines drop from the top and you must form vertical or diagonal lines of 3 same colored mines to explode them.
Overall, there is nothing wrong with these games, but Go! Puzzle PSP doesn’t contain any new exciting additions to the puzzle games. These are just average games and you’ll be mildly entertained for the first few minutes. The only one with lasting value is Skyscraper as it involves a fair amount of strategy. If you want to clear blocks, I recommend you get Lumines or Lumines II instead.
