Amazon.ca Product Description

Deceptively simple and completely addictive, Tetris Worlds adds colorful graphics, all-new gameplay variations, and intense multiplayer action to this classic game. Six modes of play challenge you with new rules, while its six different worlds evolve in complexity and difficulty as you clear one level and move to the next. Compete with up to four players to see which one clears levels the fastest. And best of all, this game is so straightforward that you can play it right out of the box.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could of Been Great, Mar 31 2003

This review is from: Tetris Worlds (Video Game)

If they would of simply made this the same as the classic tetris game from gameboy, it would be great. It is really distracting to see three of the next peices coming instead of one. Also, when you get a "Tetris" (four lines at once), the classic sound is not there. The sound effect when your piece hits the other blocks is not there. Also, the blocks themselves should be more detailed. The detailed backgrounds are cool, but sometimes very distracting. They should of included the option to play the original tetris as standard, instead you must put in a code to get it to appear. When you play the "popular" version, the background is always ugly grey, and the game makes no noise at all when you score a Tetris. Worst of all, it does not save scores. I got a score over 1,500,000 and I cannot save it. At least you can choose the classic tetris music though, thats the best part of the game so it gets 3 stars instead of 2.

This review is from: Tetris Worlds (Video Game)

This newest breed of Tetris starts out like any other. You have the option to play the classic Tetris game that everyone, including Homer Simpson, has played. But, there are also 5 new play modes, included Fusion which is the most unlike classic Tetris. Each of the games offers hours of reply.

This game also includes an outline option to help you see where your piece will land, for newer or less skilled players. As well as being able to see the next four pieces ahead.

Additionally you can swap out one piece by pressing the L or R button, and trade that piece with any piece later in the game... this option is very helpful for storing straight pieces.

Unfortunatly each game only has 15 levels, unlike the nearly limitless play of the origional title.

Another flaw on my system is that most of the backgrounds are so dark you have to be in a very well lit area to play, this is a typical flaw of all gameboy games without an SP, but the purple pieces are almost invisible without some serious overhead lighting.

All in all this game offers a new look at a great game, and offers at least a month of solid replayablity, plus it's great to pick up for a 5 minute distraction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, Feb 25 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tetris Worlds (Video Game)

This game is okay. The game portion of the display takes up only 1/3 of the screen. The other 2/3 are graphics on the left and right side. At first I thought this would be a problem, since the tiny screen of the GBA gives me headaches at times. But it plays fine, and no problems seeing things. The controls are fairly smooth, but take a little getting used to. The "Ghost" feature is helpful. It shows you where and how a piece will lie, as it is still falling.

I wanted something that my girlfriend and I could play together on the Gamecube she bought me for my birthday. Keep in mind the last time she owned a console was the Coleco. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Tetris game ever, but still a good one
I've seen so many negative reviews of Tetris Worlds for the GBA, and it is unfortunate that a lot of people have been unhappy with the game. Read more
