Liked the original Tetris and just couldn't put it down? Then get this game! Many game modes, and best of all - O
Firstly, blocks can be delayed from locking into place by persistently rotating the block. Because of this, blocks can now travel across the surfaces within the shape limitations until they get locked. Another, is that you can now hold onto items. Ever played and never survived long enough for that 4-line block to come to clear 4 lines? Well, if you got this block earlier and you didn't want to use it, you can store it by pushing L. When the time comes for you to use it, you push L again, switching with the current block in play. There are also powerups available in connected multiplayer modes.
Then there are many many game modes:
As well as the standard mode,
mission mode,
push mode,
touch mode,
catch mode,
puzzle mode,
and lastly WIFI.
The different modes are very unique and interesting, you'll see plenty of references from nintendo games such as metroids, zelda, dr mario etc. So on top of the regular tetris, there are other modes and puzzles to keep you occupied, greatly increasing the value of this game. The music is top notch, paying homage to Nintendo classics, however, they can become annoying in puzzle mode.
Mission modes have you needing to clear blocks in a specific way, and you 'level up' along the way. the push mode sees you 'pushing' your oponent off the screen; you are at the top clearing blocks i.e. 'pushing'. The opponent is at the bottom working upwards, 'pushing' you up.
Puzzle and touch modes include a preset arrangement of blocks in which you must clear within that stages criteria. But the most important aspect of this game is the connectivity. Tetris fans can now enjoy loads of competitive gameplay. This game boasts up to 10 players local connected multiplayer which is AWESOME. And you can play online with up to 4 players. This is a big plus for the game. Online tetris owns.
Graphically, this is nothing special. But it doesn't need to be, it's Tetris, a puzzle game!
Now, this is the perfect game for a handheld, it can be played in short bursts, or even in long periods as it is so addictive. This game is highly recommended for Tetris fans and for people who like to game occasionally on the go.
