Capcom must have realized that some gamers were on the fence about its upcoming DS, PC and Wii game Neopets Puzzle Adventure, because it has just released a Flash demo of the game online. So if you were curious about how a Neopets-themed puzzle RPG based on Reversi and Othello were work, get ready for a definite answer. It may even make you want to buy one of the versions of the game when it comes out on November 25, 2008.

The Neopet Puzzle Adventure takes place on a virtual DS and is surprisingly intricate. You create a character for yourself from one of twelve different species, customizing it further by picking one of six colors and its gender. It then seems like it takes you through the first puzzle of the game. After that, its basically playing Reversi/Othello, only with Neopets accents and a purpose.

Its surprisingly fun to play. I mean, I enjoyed it. It kind of reminded me of Puzzle Quest.  Alas, I am terrible at Reversi/Othello (as you can see from the image in the upper right of this article), and Neopet Puzzle Adventure only proves it. I couldn’t get past the first puzzle. So, needless to say, it isn’t for me. It is very well made though, and people with better strategic skills will probably enjoy the full game.
