 Needs co-op mode July 19, 2007
2 out of 9 found this review helpful
I bought this game to play with my spouse, but it only has competitive two-player modes. We're competitive enough in real life, thanks, and what we need from our games is cooperative play, which this title doesn't seem to have. The puzzles (in single-player mode) are really fun to solve, though.
 The best Tetris yet July 13, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love Tetris--I have ever since the days of playing it on my original (bulky) Gameboy with the spinach colored screen and of the level 19 'secret' on the original NES console. Over the years I've eagerly tested every new version of the game that comes out but have yet to find one that really captured the essence of the original for me. Until now.
Audience: Not only does Tetris DS provide a faithful version of classic Tetris for anyone wanting to relive the classic, there are also several new modes for the puzzle game enthusiast who may not be all that attached to Tetris but who loves a good puzzle game.
Graphics: Well, it's a puzzle game, so of course graphics aren't a major thing. All that matters is that the game looks good, which is does. Tetris DS also includes classic NES characters and scenes from classic games, though, for added nostalgia (characters like Mario, Samus, Link, and Donkey Kong!), and those graphics are excellent while not being much of a distraction from the actual game.
Gameplay: This is where this game surprised me. I've always loved classic Tetris but have never been crazy about the 'spinoff' variations of it. Well, Tetris DS provides several alternative forms of gameplay that are incredible. There are six modes in all, and each of them provides a great variation on the game. My favorites are push--a vs mode where you complete lines in an effort to push your opponent over a hazard line (which gives you the victory)--and tower mode, in which you've got a huge tower of pieces to manipulate and try to dismantle by completing lines. Classic Tetris mode also allows you to acquire items for use against your opponent and the ability to store a piece for later.
Control: Control is simple and straightforward. You have the option of using the stylus (in touch mode) or of using the DS's controls.
Challenge: Like most puzzle games, Tetris DS offers the ability to adjust the difficulty to fit each person's needs. Some of the high level AI (in push mode, especially) is really tough.
Multiplayer: multiplayer options are amazing. Up to 10 people can play using just one cartridge, and you can also link up with players around the globe for one of several multiplayer game options.
This game is well worth getting. Not only do you get a great version of the original Tetris, but you're also getting several other modes of play that provide hours upon hours of gaming entertainment. I have played a lot of Tetris games in my day, and this is the best I've seen since the original.

So much fun. I suck horribly at tetris, but some of the puzzle modes are fun and challenging. I got the game for my wife... The only other game she'll play anymore is Cooking Mama, but that's not too often. You can select your opening music, but not your music during the game :(. Other than that, it's great fun.
One of the best Tetris ports for a handheld May 17, 2007

If you're like me and grew up with the NES, this game will bring back memories. Nintendo has done a good job weaving zelda, metroid, and mario into a traditional Tetris game. The wi-fi capability allows you to compete against other players who, it seems, have far more time than I to practice (I almost always lose...).
Overall this game is good for a quick diversion.
