Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a localised North American version of the popular Japanese puzzle game Puyo Puyo that features characters from the Sonic The Hedgehog Series!



Gameplay

The gameplay in MBM is a fairly simple match 3 or more puzzle game with a tetris like feel to it as you drop colored jelly beans down and try to match them up with other same colored to clear your ever diminishing space on your side and drop petrified jelly beans on your opponent's side blocking off potential matches!
This game has a 1-player mode and 2-player mode which basically play the same.
The cpu A.I. is a synch at easier difficulty levels,but is brutal at the higher ones!


Graphics and Music

What can I say,as there's not much to this game's graphics,they're not bad but just simple in a tetris kind of way.....
The music is pretty basic as well and though it isn't bad at first the one or two tunes in this game get old really fast...

Bottom line-Take a great tetris style game with a few twists and add Sonic characters and you've got a decent puzzle game that will keep you entertained for short bursts!
