Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo
    

 

 

To sum up the gist of the gameplay, players try to line up gems of the same color (in any direction) tin an effort to build up square or rectangular blocks. There are 4 colors of gems and 4 colors of "crash gems" respectively. After a player builds up their lines or blocks, they can use the gem breaker of the same color to destroy the gems which will result in a combo. Depending on how crash blocks are set up, there's potential for setting up huge chain reactions for insane combo possibilities; which is of course the key to winning.

  
As gems are destroyed, Counter Gems will drop into the opponent's playfield; and after a certain amount of turns (up to 5) will become normal gems. The higher the combo a player performs, the more counter blocks will fall onto their opponent's side. Skilled players can cleverly use the "countdown" blocks to their advantage, and counter their opponent with combos using the crash gems. The game will continue until one player's side is completely filled up with gems. 
 
 

  
During all of the mind games and puzzle madness going on, the characters on screen will accurately act out the battle as it progresses, throwing out trademark special moves back and forth! The 2D animation is done well, and some of the facial expressions and mannerisms are simply hilarious and brilliant! The characters actually effect the gameplay as well, because each character's counter blocks fall in a different order. Advanced players will know to form their blocks in a manner to counter their opponent's countdown blocks once they start falling. In late 2007, Capcom re-released Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo for the PS3 & Xbox 360 as Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix.

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo was one of the first "spin-offs" to celebrate the fighting game genre... all while not actually being a fighting game. The art style, character roster, and addicting gameplay of SPF2T all speak for themselves. I'm not ashamed to say that Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo is one of my all time favorite puzzle games... not only for the catchy visuals, music, and characters; but the maddeningly addicting gameplay! Seriously, it's fun and it's healthy to take a break from competitive fighters every now and then. This cleverly-designed Street Fighter and Darkstalkers-themed puzzle title perfectly demonstrated Capcom's "range" back in the 90's. Being a Capcom fan in the 90's meant experiencing a great variety of different games, and not only fighting games. SPF2T is a easy to pick up and play but actually very difficult to master (and a very fun game to go head-to-head against friends). ~TFG Webmaster | @Fighters_Gen     Click Here for all posters / box art!
