Puzzle Quest 2 Preview

Modojo has whipped up a preview of Puzzle Quest 2 based on some recent hands-on time with the Nintendo DS version of the puzzle/RPG sequel. A snip:
On top of gameplay improvements, Puzzle Quest 2 also has a new world hub. Rather than explore a map, you now walk through areas, interacting with characters (or enemies). It's similar to what Infinite Interactive developed with its Konami game, Puzzle Chronicles, but much improved.

Puzzle Quest 2 features a strong single-player campaign that'll take you several hours to complete, along with two-player versus action with a fellow cartridge owner. Sadly, we didn't get a chance to test this mode out in our hands-on time, but if it's anything like the original Puzzle Quest, you won't find us complaining.
