Approx. Tetris * 100!

User Rating: 8.7 | Meteos DS
Finally, a game for the DS that makes full use of the touch screen. Considering this game makes use of only the touch screen, it should make all of you out there wondering why the DS has one, happy. The game's general idea is relatively simple, and reminds me of tetris. You must line up at least 3 of an element to rocket it into space, and onto your opponent's planet. Simple idea? Yes. Tons of strategy? Heck yes. While you think you may be good at this game a couple hours in, you then bump it up a difficulty and realize you have much to learn. Many of the more subtle strategies to victory are not realized till 10-15 hours into the game. The multiplayer is excellent, allowing a lot of customization and providing hours of fun. Being a major RPG fan, this game also appeals to me. All these hours playing a puzzler would be less rewarding without tons of unlockables. Playing this game through randomly, all the unlockables take a good 30-40 hours to obtain. Planets, Items, Sounds, etc., this game rewards you for becoming better. Plenty of stats to keep you number heads occupied.

Overall, if you like puzzle games, especially Tetris, buy this. A great game that can be played for many hours, and takes full use of the DS touch screen.
