Summary: Action puzzle gaming in your pocket
Review: I love games that have a simple premise and few rules - games you can just pick up and play. That perfectly describes this game. A new line of blocks is added to the stack every second or two (more quickly as the game gets harder). Select a block that has 2 or more identical adjacent blocks and they disappear and you get points. The more blocks that disappear at one time, the more points you get. When the blocks get to the top, you lose.

The game gets difficult quickly as new rows of blocks start to be added quickly by level 5 or 6. By level 10 you have to get 100 new lines to clear the level and they are coming even more quickly. At least when you lose you are able to restart the game on that level. Help is provided by black bombs which destroy all the surrounding blocks, and colored bombs which will destroy every identically colored block on the stack. There is some strategy to when you want to select blocks to remove them, sometimes it might be best to wait for more blocks to be added, and you have to pay attention to what is above that might fall on what's below.

Super Collapse has been available on the web for quite a while to play on a PC or Mac. If you have played that original, the GameBoy version is a bit more difficult when you have to pick blocks by moving the cursor around a block at a time instead of clicking with the mouse on the block you want to pick. Pointing the mouse is much easier to get to the block you want to choose.

The one mark against this game is that it doesn't save or keep high scores. There is a password that are given after 5 levels (and maybe every 5 after that - don't know - haven't gotten that far) but passwords are lame - Majesco, spring a few cents for saving next time.

Summary: Finally on GBA!!!!
Review: I LOVE playing COLLAPSE! I'm so excited that it's on GBA now, I can't wait to get it. I fly a lot and this helps me pass the time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As good as the PC version
Review: My wife and I have been playing the PC version for about a year now (well, mostly my wife) and I have to say that it works excellently on the GBA. I even find it a lot more fun for some reason. One way that it is better: you can get a code that automatically starts you at a higher level. Most of the puzzles in Puzzle Mode are different than the PC version, too, which is good because I'd solved all the PC ones.

Our kids (age 7 and 5) like it, too, but I think I've played it the most, while my wife sticks with the PC version. It's too bad we only have two GBAs because now the three "kids" (including me) are fighting over them in the car. I might have to buy a second copy and a 3rd GameBoy for family harmony.

Summary: Love this game
Review: This is a great game for Adults. I can't wait for more puzzle games to come out. I just received this and Bookworm and both are great games for my Gameboy advance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It will make you crazy
Review: This is a great game, I like the fact that you can save your game but don't be fooled by the small screen it is every bit as hard as the larger version. I have been stuck on level 15 of the Stragety level for weeks now.
