Tall: Infinity - Ultimate Puzzle Action (PS1)...

[josekortez]

If you're a puzzle game fan and you own a PlayStation, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up. I'm currently addicted to it. It's as addictive as Tetris, although it is a bit more frustrating as you try to complete a tower that continuously gets hit by lightning. You have to roll the blocks around to match up colors and make combos in order to complete the floors and make the tower higher. Since I haven't played Devil Dice or Intelligent Qube, I'm not sure whether it would compare to either of those, but it sure it fun. It's one of those Agetec A1 games, and I paid $5 for it, but I've been playing this game longer than the more expensive stuff I've been buying lately.

I just picked this up today myself. Go by it NOW. It is the next coming of Intelligent Qube - a comparison I do not make lightly.

Great haunting soundtrack like IQ, a rotate the blocks-puzzler like IQ. And just a good, good race again time - like IQ.

If there were ever a sequal to IQ, it'd be this game. I cannot praise it highly enough. And, at the KB Toys closing here in town, I snagged it for $6.

MAN! I was THIS CLOSE to getting that the other day! When I went to get Animal Crossing and FF:CC. It was new and cheap too. I really oughta get it. I love Puzzles and this game was CALLING to me. And I didn't answer. *sigh*

I've seen it all over though. So hopefully it'll be easy to get.

Agreed!

It is one of those $10 A1/Agetec budget release titles, but still very much an excellent game!

My only complaints are that the graphics are severely lacking, and the controls are almost too touchy making you pass over your combination, but you eventually get accustomed to it.

Regardless, you can pick it up most anywhere now for less than the $10 launch price, new, and its a definate hidden gem among the PS1 system!

original title: tall twins tower, release date 11/02/00

i think it was in development for a bit, thus the dated graphics. someone at a few small game companies obviously took to playing some of those import playstation club demo discs, as the last couple of budget games are pretty much what's on the discs i have...

[josekortez]

Hallelujah! They have been converted!

Oh, yeah, and while you're at it, pick up Bombastic. It's $20 at Circuit City and Toys R Us...

[Jasoco]

I also recommend if you can find it, "Builders Block".

That sold me man. If it's even halfway comparable to IQ, I'm there. *heads to Gamestop...*

[Jasoco]

I wish I had seen this thread earlier. I passed it up twice. Next time, I will get it. You can be sure.

GREAT game!!! underrated, but amazingly addictive!

Tall: Infinity has gone down to $5.99 new at Gamestop B&M. Just a heads-up...

This game was a steal at its $10 launch price. Now you have no reason not to go get one

[UndeadKing]

I'd just like to throw out another recommendation for this game. I've had the import for some time now and it is quite addictive. At $5.99 one would be crazy to pass this up.

[Keir]

I picked this up a few weeks ago at GameStop for $5.99. I'd like to thank this thread or I may not have! Lots of fun. Only problem I have is that the difficulty ramps up a bit too fast. I was able to beat the game on Easy my first try, but after a lot of practice I can still only get to the second level on Normal! But for some reason I keep coming back for more.

Also, the Puzzle mode is a bit weak. Seems like something they threw on at the end just because they could. Still better than not having it though!

[Jasoco]

Shit! I forgot I even had this. I bought it a few months ago and never tried it.

Tall: Infinity is quite a good game based on the little bit that I've played it. My local gamestop had it new for $5.99 recently. I would also give the game a solid recommendation. However, it's not the best Playstation puzzle game, IMO. That would be reserved for another of the A1's budget Puzzle lineup game: Puzzle Star Sweep. This is a fantastic port of a reasonably obscure 2D System 11 game (arcade release by Namco, 1997). Wonderful blend of 2D sprites with lots of color with some chipper music and fantastic gameplay that can only be described as a 32-bit Panel de Pon (aka Tetris Attack). It feels sufficiently different than Tetris Attack so no worries about too much duplication. Puzzle Star Sweep remains unheralded but there are a few really good reviews on the net that do the game justice. It's not only the best PSX puzzle game, but it's probably in the top 5 overall, IMO (and I collect and play lots of puzzle games).

Anyway, A1 series of puzzle games is pretty solid given these two titles. I wonder if there are more in that lineup?

[Jasoco]

There is one other PSX Puzzle I'd love to see ported somewhere else. Like the GBA. IQ would be one. I'm SURE the simplistic 3D graphics would be possible. Builders Block (By Jaleco) is another awesome one. And this one. One can hope, eh?

I hope they don't port them to the PSP. Or else I may have to break down and get one of those too. And I'd really rather have everything on my GBA.

PS/2 puzzle game fans also try "Turnabout" by Natsume. Very addictive & has a board editor!

$10 max where you can find it- my local TRU had tons of 'em.

I actually saw that one! But I turned it down because the graphics didn't impress me. Was that too trivial? Probably. I'll have to check this one out too.

Just out of curiousity, did this spark a Gamestop calling program in the Cincinnati area. I had 3 phone calls about Tall Infinity today, and thought I was going insane. Unfortunately to those who called, we do not have the game. I passed it up myself a few times, and now am on the lookout for it too.
