IMPRESSIONS:      This has a more serious atmosphere than most puzzle

Columns is a great puzzle game. Some people would call it a Tetris clone, but they are infidels I tell you!

Columns is unique, and has spawned it's own following of clones. It was the first puzzle game I ever played, and I've been hooked from day one.

Columns III (A variation of the arcade Stack Columns) was a new toy to play with. With the added fun in vs mode this quickly became a favorite. The enemy characters get quite challenging at the highest difficulty level but it's not nearly as hard as that stupid Whinne the Pooh looking thing in Stack Columns.

If you can find that high score I'll try to beat it ;)

Believe it or not, I lasted upwards of FOUR HOURS on this game without losing once. I could have gone longer, but it was like 3am so I intentionally lost the game. I wrote my score from that game down somewhere, and I'll try to find it so I can post it here and all of you can try to top it :)

This was great for 4-way games. Never got to try it with five, but probably would have been cool.

This is a nice standalone game, but compared to Puyo Puyo (Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine), it just isn't as fun. It's a very fun puzzler, but Puyo really seems a lot more fresh in terms of addicting gameplay. This works, though.

Columns 1 was brilliant, could play it for hours and hours and not get bored. Columns 3 was definatly harder but pretty good. Just one thing missing....what happened to columns 2 ?

This is one of the most playable puzzlers on the MD. No doubt about it.
