Tetris DS game review




Tetris isn't every ones cup of tea and yes its a fairly old game however tetris for ds is totally different its game play is amazing it features good graphics and sound and ever-increasing difficulty level making the game more challenging. But the key to Tetris ds is the variety of different games based around Nintendo 'tetrominos'. Firstly there are 'line clear' (where you start with a number of ragged rows) and 'vs CPU' (where you try and clear lines faster than the console, with every row it clears appearing on your screen and so fourth) modes, both well worth having. But this is only the start of things there is also:

'Push Mode' lets you play the same push-push game against another player, over the DS's Wi-Fi. 'Touch' features a tetromino tower that has to be dragged into position, block by block, to reduce its height to zero - much harder than it looks - and a mission-based 'drag the tetrominos' puzzle system.


'Puzzle Mode' introduces pre-designed grids of blocks and offers up the right pieces to solve the rows, but it's up to you to pick them in the right order and orientation. 'Mission' works in timed or untimed modes and sees you having achieve certain challenges while playing the normal tetris game.

Finally there is my favourite mode by far Catch it is a vertical scrolling mix of Tetris and Galaxians. You rotate your tetromino space-ship and move it around in order to catch the advancing blocks and grow your own ship. As the ship core reaches a certain square size you start earning points, where upon most of the core collapses and you start building again, and so on.

I relli do like tetris DS i have found it to be just a perfectly desighned and fun game. The gameplay, the variety, the multi-player options - even the price (it tends to be cheaper than most DS games on the shelves) i highly reccomend this game to adults and youths alike.

My offitial rating 10/10 ***** Star Rating
