Capcom spruces up Othello with cuddly PetPets and minigames.

by Chris Buffa on Monday, December 08, 2008

Capcom's Neopets Puzzle Adventure is addictive and full of cute. Similar to last year's breakthrough game, Puzzle Quest, you explore a vibrant fantasy world interacting with a bunch of adorable Neopets. In order to complete objectives and resolve conflicts, you'll play Othello (otherwise known as Reversi), where the goal is to flip your opponent's tiles and dominate the game board. Along with over 150 matches and multiplayer battles, you'll also pick up PetPets, cute little guys that give you special abilities. We would've liked more character customization, the ability to complete puzzles out of sequence and online play, but we had fun flipping tiles and beating opponents. In addition, the option to use special in-game codes to unlock stuff on the Neopets website is a cool incentive, especially for Neopet fanatics.
