Forget what you know, the variations offered in this game let you learn how to play tetris all over again. Some of the variations are fun and others will probably turn out to be not for you. I know I had a problem playing the squares version of this game where you had to make 4x4 squares out of the same types of pieces. I never quite figured that out. There's another version called collapse where the pieces fall down as rows below them are cleared. This is kind of like Dr Mario, where extra pieces fall down to the playing field below, and unlike classic tetris where you have to clear the rows above a gap to fill the gaps. There's a version where the same colored pieces stick together. This was challenging because pieces also fall down as you clear the rows like the version above and when two of the same color pieces touch, they stick together. Its an interesting twist. In both versions pieces are both traditional and segmented, for example sometimes the straight piece made up of 4 segments will be all in one piece/color, sometimes it will be made up of 2 or 3 or 4 different pieces/colors. Which makes it all the more challenging, you have to plan for how the segments of each piece will fall as well. Another added bonus is that now your piece preview shows you the next several pieces that are in the queque (I think it shows the next 6), not just the next one up. The only version of Tetris that I think is missing was the version for Nintendo '64 Tetris Sphere. That game brought the Tetris game to a 3-Dimensional level where you had to get rid of groups of pieces instead of organize them into groups. When they bring that game over to the next-gen systems then my tetris collection will be complete. Plus you can customize a little cube to look as you wish and you can name it as well, it will serve as your guide and watch you and let you know how you are doing. There's a couple of other versions and of course classic tetris but for each one the challenges and strategies are different. They wrap a story around each version to explain why each game plays the way it does, pieces collapse because of a higher gravity and they stick together because its hot. Fortunately the same basic traits that kept you playing the original tetris games are still there. Its one of the oldest games out there that is still played today.

::Sniffle:: They ruined it....,

This review is from: Tetris Worlds (Video Game)
I'm not impressed. The NEW Tetris still stands as the best Tetris ever to be made. That was for the N64 system. They've tried to incorporate all of the other Tetris clones into one game which would actually be alright if they had put a little more effort into it. First off the modes of play are cool. They even have the New Tetris "Square" mode where you can make gold or silver 4x4 blocks out of 4 like pieces (gold) or different pieces (silver). That was the most fun part about the N64 version. The Atomic mode is challenging and fun as well. However the graphics make it difficult to distinguish which blocks are which and often cause eye strain after awhile. Multiplayer has totally been ruined in that you race to complete a level instead of the classic play till you die, or play until someone gets to 150 lines, or a timed limit. When one player completes a level the game ends for everyone else and a new round starts. The rounds end up becoming too short and tedious and multiplayer loses its charm. Overall if you love Tetris you'll like the game but don't expect anything you haven't seen before, and don't expect it to take full advantage of the Cube's graphical power.

Good game, major flaw,
By david leinweber (Oxford, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tetris Worlds (Video Game)
The people who are saying that this game hurts your eyes are correct. I had never played Tetris before, and I bought this because it seemed like a fairly straightforward version of Tetris, and I have a NGC. It's really pretty fun, highly addictive, and all that. But it's true that this game really hurts your eyes after a few minutes. Both me and my son have noticed this. I haven't found a way to re-set the game background to fix this, so I guess I just have to endure sore eyes. It's bad though. Why did they let such a simple thing hurt this otherwise solid, straightforward Tetris?
