A legendary mashup.

Pros:
+ Like Mean Bean Machine? Puyo's basically that but better. Also Fever mode rocks.
+ Tetris x Puyo Puyo mashup works! (mostly)
+ Good story and cast. The Tetra crew deserve to be in every successive Tetris game.
+ A hilarious script. Easily one of the funniest games since Portal 2


Cons:
- Terrible competitive balance. Puyo Puyo vs Tetris matches HEAVILY favors the latter, even after patches
- Story mode assumes you know all the non-Tetris cast and does nothing to introduce them. Go read the Puyo Nexus wiki. It won't take long to know the major players.
- Dark Prince is a lame English name. "I'M IN LOVE WITH SATAN" sounds better.

Tetris creator Alexy Pajitnov stated in an interview that Puyo Puyo is the only game that could match up with Tetris. Based on the results, I'm inclined to agree.
Disclaimer: He designed puzzles for the original Puyo Puyo.
