Possibly one of the best puzzlers ever to grace consoles.

So ingenious, yet simple in its execution that it would have succeeded on almost any platform. In spite of a few flaws, it is damn near a match made in heaven.

The biggest hurdle for players to get over is simply the gameplay itself. Chu Chu Rocket isn't very forgiving, as players are basically dropped in the middle of the game and left to fend for themselves

Unfortunately, the game is let down slightly by a rather annoying control problem – by only having one button to lay down arrows, you need to keep pressing it repeatedly to switch direction.

One of the most unique puzzle designs to come along in a while. Whether you like your thinking games slow and strategic or fast and chaotic, you'll find something to enjoy with this one.

It'll take you a little while to get used to the controls, but once you do, you'll find that ChuChu Rocket offers a lot of value and a lot of fun for moments or hours at a time.

A work of genius, and nobody else will convince me otherwise! The singleplayer mode utilizes the simple-to-follow mechanics of the game to its fullest and creates a unique challenge in every stage. The historic multiplayer mode balances chaos and skill in such a way that the outcome of every match will have you on your toes! One of Sega's finest games!

Tight and addicting gameplay that has nearly endless replay value. It keeps you on your toes and has you prioritize quick thinking. It may not be for everybody, but everything from the multiplayer to the single-player puzzles intrigued me with their nearly endless possibilities.

Summary It'll take you a little while to get used to the controls, but once you do, you'll find that ChuChu Rocket offers a lot of value and a lot of fun for moments or hours at a time, for one to four players.
