A classic reborn.
This game is nothing but Tetris with the Nintendo touch, and trust me, it doesn't get any better than that. You can play in six different game modes, including Standard, Push, Mission and others. You can find specific explanations for each on gamespot's review or preview, but all you need to know is that they all play very similarly to Tetris, but each with its own flavor. You will be switching from one mode to another frequently; this game will keep you busy for a while.
Graphically it isn't jaw-dropping, but it doesn't need to be. Nintendo-themed menus and modes, such as Mario Bros., Metroid, and Zelda, are well welcome into the mix, and should appease Nintendo fans and others very well.
The sound is excellent; old-school Nintendo songs remixed to give the game that special boost. Sure, we have all listened to those classic songs....a lot, but it doesn't get boring.
And of course, there's multiplayer. Local Wireless connection for up to ten players with one game card, or the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. You can go online and play Standard Tetris for 2 or 4 players, or Push mode. Not much, but once you start playing, it's very hard to stop.
The game is very addictive, pick-up-and-play experience. Puzzle fan or not, give Tetris DS a try, and you'll see how the game card will get stuck on your Nintendo DS for quite a while.
