Oh yes Tetris and DS, two of my favorite things combined!I remember playing this on my friends gameboy when it was new, and on all the cellphones I've ever had...But something that I've always hated with Tetris is that the controls are usually very, very stiff. You always mess up and lose very quickly due to unfair controls! But thats what I love about the DS, the controls here are amazing! The joypad on the DS isn't stiff at all, even though I've always thought so.
It's almost as a joystick but somehow more reliable. And your other buttons for dropping fast, rotating, saving blocks are spread out so you never actually press the wrong button!
On the bottom screen is the actual game, you can see 6 blocks and the order they're coming. You can by pressing the R or L button hold a block and use it later, this is something very useful and makes the game a little easier. On the top screen you see gameplay of other retro games by nintendo which is completely unnecessary. But I'm glad that they didn't stretch out the game over both screens. Because I just hate having to look over both screens, it just makes my eyes go nuts!
But one of the many things I like about this version is the visuals.
It looks great! And sounds great too, even though they changed the song from a catchy polka sounding tune to a remixed version of super mario...It's also very memorable! And I guess this applies more to kids these days...
But yeah that's pretty much all I have to say about this game, It's one of the smoothest, cleanest, easiest version of Tetris.
But you know what? Nintendo also included a bunch of Tetris spin off puzzels for you! And all I can say is..they're good. Not amazing not bad just good. Sure they're good time wasters but so is Tetris and whenever I play these "minigames" I just think:
-Wow, I could've been playing Tetris right now.
As I said they're good but get this game for Tetris and not for the minigames.
