The return of Columns

[Neo]

My favorite Game Gear puzzle game has finally arrived on the GBA. Back in the day, Game Gear was my portable system of choice. Even though I collected several games, the game that came packaged with the system (Columns) was always my favorite.

Columns Crown on the :GBA: has the original survival and flash modes, along with a new versus mode. A storyline has been integrated into the game, but it's really secondary to the actual gameplay. In fact, the game might be better off without it. My only complaint is the scrolling background; it gets a little distracting. After a while you can tune it out though.

A classic in the video game hall of history.

It does have a 2-player option, but I haven't tried it.
