How Poy Poy Plays

Up to four players can participate at a time (provided the players have a multitap peripheral which is compatible with the PlayStation). Combat consists of picking up the various props, and throwing them at opponents. Computer-controlled players fill any spaces not occupied by human players.

Each character has different strengths and weaknesses in terms of strength (ability to pick up heavier props and do so more quickly) and speed (agility moving about the play field). Poy Poy Cup is the single-player mode in which three computer-controlled competitors try to defeat the player in each environment. In exhibition mode, players engage in three rounds of combat.

Why Players Still Load It Up

is a 1997 party video game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation. Poy Poy received above-average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. A sequel, Poy Poy 2, was released in 1998.

Electronic Gaming Monthlys Shawn Smith described it in an early review as "A swingin' multiplayer title that's easy to control, looks good and has long-lasting, one-player features to boot." He and the other three members of the EGM review team concurred that the game has enough variations and secrets to make it highly replayable even in one-player mode, though they still felt the multiplayer was the game's chief draw. The game was followed by Poy Poy 2, also released on PlayStation which featured similar gameplay to that of Poy Poy. Next Generations early review called it "the best multiplayer game for the PlayStation, hands down", elaborating that, "There isn't too much strategy, per se, but with a long, impressive list of special powers each competitor can choose from before the match, and a few special items to grab for during a match (or avoid, since there are some dangerous doodads mixed in with the good ones), the amount of entropy generated is enough to please even the most die-hard of chaos theorists." Art Angel of GamePros early review called it "a Bomberman-esque arcade/strategy game that rocks the house with great graphics, fun multiplayer action, and an unusual array of characters." Other reviewers, including GameFan and Game Informer, gave the Japanese version early reviews as well, months before the game was released Stateside.
