Lots of fun. |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-28      I could've lived without it... This game was tons of fun when I first tried it out. After beating a few levels, I decided it's not really that great. There are time and score modes. Daily puzzles. But no story line to speak of. If you live for puzzle games with a story line, this game is not for you. This game does have it's fair share of puzzles and the Wi-Fi makes up for what it lacks. My advice is to wait for the price to drop from $29.99 to $19.99 unless you are a die hard puzzle fan and this is a MUST have. I consider myself a puzzle fanatic, but still didn't find this game to be that wonderful. Everyone has an opinion though, so try it out! |  | Reviewed on 2008-04-01      Not What I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to have multiple varieties of games to play, instead it was the same concept through out. It was not what I expected it was going to be so I was disappointed. I play it sometimes but get bored with it easily. |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-21      Best Game in the Whole Wide World I have been playing Tetris Attack since I was about 12 years old on SNES. Religously.
The only person I've ever met that can make this game a challenge is my sister. Playing the computer is more like a warm up than an actual garbage dumping challenge. My SNES system is still alive and well, but I'm worried about finding controllers in the future. I guess I'm a collector? Between my friends and sister we have 1 game cartridge and 4 SNES systems and 10 controllers and we are constantly trying to find new SNES parts.
Point being, this game is my all time favorite game ever. It's fun and challenging against the right person/computer depending on your skill level. I've played just about every version of Tetris out there except the new Tetris DS which I can't get my hands on. I've watched the demo versions online and have little interest in playing it.
Maybe I'm just addicted to this game on an unhealthy level, but if you like Tetris enough to buy a Tetris game, you won't be disappointed with this. It's completely different than what you'd expect Tetris to be, but well worth it. |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-17      gave it away I found the game to be generally well-designed. Settings can be adjusted for right-hand or left-handed play. As reviewer James F. points out, the game allows for both short-term (2-5 min) and long-term play (30~ min). There are several different modes of play including a daily play option. I liked the music but it can get a little repetitive, especially if you are playing for a long haul. However, IIRC, the music is tied into the background you are playing on, and you can change that background before starting a game (on most play modes).
As I recall, blocks of matching types in each set (of all sets) are not only distinct colors but also distinct shapes. This should be useful for those with color-blindness who would otherwise have trouble, say, telling apart the green (circle) block and red (heart) block. Additionally, before beginning play the player can usually choose their preferred set of blocks. Should you be hard of hearing or deaf, playing this game should not be difficult; the most important sound, gameplay-wise, is the one which begins to sound when the blocks are reaching the top of the screen. I don't recall if there is a visual cue which accompanies this or not, but perhaps another reviewer does?
Despite the game's slickness, I found it incredibly dull. Perhaps, as Clement Yang comments to Michael Kerner's review, I'm just bad at the game. I know for a certainty I'm not great at it, and I was never really compelled to become better. I think I may well have gotten more out of the game if I had played multiplayer--the only thing that kept me playing the game as long as I did was to master the few challenges the game cart comes with.
I gave the game to my mom. She loves it. |  |
