Planet Puzzle League for the Nintendo DS is the stylus-controlled version of the classic Nintendo game which has been released under a wide variety of names—Tetris Attack, Panel de Pon, Pokemon Puzzle League—while retaining the same, some say perfect gameplay. Planet Puzzle League adds touchscreen controls to the colored block-arranging fun and takes the game online via the Wi-Fi Connection service. It also adds voice chat for online games, with Friend Codes required to keep the kids safe.

It's hard to slight Planet Puzzle League in the gameplay department. It plays just as well as its predecessors, with touchscreen controls adapting easily to the formula. The only possible negatives are that it's yet another Panel de Pon/Puzzle League game and the it suffers slightly from the newest trend in puzzle gaming, brightly colored, sometimes distracting Lumines-style skins. Neither of those complaints should keep fans of the series or rookies from picking it up. Michael McWhertor
