If you read the IGN review, you have been seriously misled. The review makes it sound as though their are no puzzles, and actually gives an example of a puzzle, where the reviewer fundamentally misunderstands the puzzle. They claim that Luigi won't stand on the correct blocks at the right time. That's the puzzle! Mario has to get to the correct squares before Luigi presses the wrong button. The "Luigi Logic" is basically the way they introduce a new move. I'm over 50, and have played all the Mario & Luigi handheld RPGs. It's definitely in the top four of these games. Maybe it even takes third. Bowser's Inside Story and Superstar Saga hold position one and two, respectively. If you've enjoyed previous games in the series, or you like the Mario RPG console entries, you will enjoy this game. Also, I only play docked, but have yet to see any performance issues
