Sega's addictive puzzler is finally granted an European release - details inside!

Publishers Ignition have secured the rights to distribute Puyo Pop Fever onto the DS in Europe. SEGA has revamped its signature brainteaser with wacky new puzzle pieces and a combo-crazy Fever Mode. Playing as Amitie, encounter many weird and wonderful characters as you progress through the games challenging, yet fun Story Mode.

Your goal, of course, is to match up Puyos of the same colour. Players will try to obliterate opponents by linking explosive combinations, and bombarding them with massive chain reaction combo attacks with Fever Mode. "Puyo Pop Fever is perfectly suited to the PSP & DS," says Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition Entertainment. "The game oozes with addictive gameplay and has a style which will appeal to young and old alike."

The game features special puzzle pieces, including triple and quadruple sets and a giant Puyo, which adds a new spin to a classic puzzle game. Plus, you can now jump right into the action or learn advanced techniques in the training mode.

Stunning 3D graphics enhance the impact when completing massive combinations, and the game boasts 13 new characters and a whole new story with voice-over. There are even exclusive DS features which the PSP doesn't have, which is the ability to play with up to 8 players using single-Card download play and of course the unique touch screen controls.

The game has been given a release window of April 2006, so look for it on the shelves soon!
