Meteos is a falling chunk of frantic, addictive puzzle action.
If the blocks make a vertical line to the top of the screen, they'll begin to flash and the game will make a sort of beeping noise. If you leave these blocks alone, they'll cause the destruction of your planet, and you'll lose the round.
Which brings me to the story of the game. It's rather weak, but, hey, this is a puzzle game. You're trying to save your planet from the launching of these blocks, or "Meteos" off of the screen. If they pile too high, its ARMAGEDDON. Travel the galaxy! Save some planets!
There are a variety of planets with a variety of different gameplay differences. There's different looks and blocksets, different music, and different rules and gravity between planets.
The sound in Meteos is superb. The music, though a bit repetitive, matches what's going on, and if you create a spectacular raft you get congratulatory music and applause. If things aren't going so well, the music becomes very tense. The audio itself is repetitive, but you won't get bored of it any time soon.
Graphics are pretty good, they're basically all they need to be. Still, meteos could use a bit more visual flair. Check out some screenshots or videos if you want to see them.
The game uses the DS interface relatively well, using the stylus brilliantly and making some use of both of the screens.
What really stands out is the addictive multiplayer in Meteos. Ever played Bubble Bobble in multiplayer? Remember how when you destroyed a clump, some bubbles would be placed into your opponents screen? Meteos works like that, and the blocks you obliterate become problems for your competitors. It's a lot of fun, and it has Download Play in case your friends don't have it. Meteos is a good purchase, at around 30$, and is well worth your money and time. Any DS owner should have it.
