Best action-puzzle game on the DS... ever!!!!
Gmeplay- 9
blocks of different colors fall from the sky, when they land you can move them in the columns they are in and if you get 3 in a row they will ignite and go upwrds, your goal is to push the metoes of your planet. sounds easy? well they fall from the sky and you want them to go to the sky so if you ignite a batch they may get pushed down by other faliing blocks and then your efforts will be wasted. so when you ignit a stack you can ignite another under it to give it a boost or u can ignite other meteos within the stack in the air to boost it up. with different gravity strengths and varying field sizes and block falling rates, the game's simple premise gets pretty chaotic and fun. When your struggling to clear a screen filling stack and trying to get an ignition with a smoke screen item in your face... well those moments are ation-puzzling at its best.
Graphics- 8
you play on different planets and each one has a distinct look and items, inhabitants and whenever you get rid of blocks all look neat. overall the graphics get the job done although some interface options are kinda small, such as when you pick which planet to luanch your metoes at in ultiplayer.
Sound- 10 for a puzzler the music and effects are really catchy and unique. each planet has different sounds when you ignite blocks and when the falling rate gets really high the music picks up in tempo. in the end you will be tapping your foot and may find yourself humming the tunes of your favorite planet.
Value- 9
a ton of unlockables which are fused in the fusion room with launched meteos add to the value. u dont really beat the game, its a puzzler, but there is a startrip mode which is the best mode to play as you will launch a lot of meteos to use in the fusion room, have a chance at unlocking new planets and get the witness one of the many endings of the mode. 100%-ing will take at least 30 or so hours, i have 16 hours logged in and i have about half the planets and around 2/3 of the items created.
Tilt- 10
i really dont know why i gave tilt a ten... probably b/c this game has the potential to overthrone tetris as top puzzler, yet one factor hinders it... no wi-fi. also the new meteos version (which i dont recommend getting, get this one) doesn't have wi-fi either so the new version isn't really any better and it is also much easier and has been disneyfied which just feels weird.
