Game Synopsis
©NCS:
The Puyo-Hat wearer known as Amitie from the first
Puyo² Fever is joined by Raffine and Sig in Sega's
latest Puyo Puyo game which kicks the Fever Meter up
another notch. Players take a trip to the village of
Purinpu where they interact with denizens and engage
in Puyo Puyo color matching action. The skeletal
Oshareborns from the first Puyo Fever is now a
shopkeep who runs the Osharena Omise which peddles
up to 72 possible power-up items in exchange for
points. The town of Purinpu houses 11 new characters
along with 10 returnees for a total of 21 denizens
to play Puyo Puyo Fever against. A Story Mode
may be enjoyed as well as quick Puyo Puyo games
which don't involve a trek into the town of Purinpu.

NCS Game Notes™
* The character Sig's name means Special Interest
Group.
* The intro to the game shows off new characters
such as Sig, Raffine and old ones like Amitie and
the whole cast in a short intro.
* To play the Story Mode, select the Puyo Castle
on the top of the screen. After starting the normal
game, players are prompted to enter a name and save
their profile to memory card. In the Story Mode,
players may select Sig, Raffine, or Amitie as their
character. We chose Sig and proceeded to play Puyo
Puyo against a glasses-wearing lad with brown hair
that was shaped like the letter M. It's possible to
select a special item before playing the match if
you have enough points to help your chances. To
start playing Puyo Puyo, press "X" and the game
starts. If you press START, you'll be prompted to
save your progress and then be dumped back to the
main title screen.
* The Shop directly below the Puyo Castle is
called Osharena Omises where players may exchange
points for various items and power-ups which a
player may use to improve performance and enhance
one's advantage in a match. The proprietor is a
skeleton in a blue top hat named Oshareborns. Puyo
Puyo Fever fans may remember him as an opponent. A
limited number of items are available at the outset
of the game but as certain conditions are fulfilled,
more power-up items are made available for purchase.
* The building directly to the right of the Shop is
a storage area for unlocked data and a library.
There's also an image gallery, movie clips, music
selections, and a Replay Game section.
* In the 2P Versus game, players may choose a
character from 19 possible heroes. Its possible to
edit the rules to one's liking as well. Select this
mode by visiting the Puyo Puyo Playground which has
a red Puyo tunnel and a swingset on the icon. In
addition to 2P action, one player may also take on
the COM in a Puyo Puyo Fever 2 versus match. As in
the original, the Fever meter is located on the
middle portion of the screen and one meter is skewed
on the side of either player.
* The large Library building in the center of the
screen with a red flag and a waving green Puyo post
in front allows for game adjustment through an
options menu. Players may toggle vibration mode, set
the difficulty, adjust sound volume, set the demo
and animations, or change the player name. Other
options allow a player to read mail and play 10
unlockable mini-games.
* To play a quick game of Endless Fever, visit the
far away tower on the right portion of the map. A
big chicken will greet you. This mode is for 1P and
you may select any one of 19 characters and proceed
to creating color combination matches. A small
amount of Puyos are already on the ground in each
stage and one must arrange the first couplings of
falling Puyos so that they clear the entire screen
of Puyos in one shot. If you can't clear the screen
in one shot, make sure to arrange chain combos so
that the first color match you make will at least
clear as many of the Puyos as possible. Miss and the
stage ends and the next one begins. Keep on keeping
on until the 1-minute timer runs out.
* The tower is a work in progress but you may help
build it up be completing or accomplishing certain
tasks and objectives in your Puyo Puyo playing while
in the tower.
* Other modes in the tower include an Endless
Task mode where one creates Puyo combinations as
long as the timer lasts, Endless Chu Panic
where one creates Puyo matches but also has to
contend with little Chu pieces that fall in threes
intermittently. The key to winning this game is to
get rid of the Chus before they pile up and hamper
your Puyo creation skills. To get rid of Chus,
create a color match that is contiguous to the Chu.
When the Chus fall, they'll make a soft sneezing
sound... as in "ah chuu." Get it? There is no time
limit to the game and players may play until they're
overcome by an avalanche of Chu. The final game mode
in the tower is Endless Original -
classic Puyo Puyo fun. |
