Disappointing

Tetris Worlds had two modes, arcade (which I haven't played) and story (although you wouldn't know the story unless you read the manual). There are several different game styles, most of them are pretty fun. The problem is that it seems to miss the point. Tetris is about staying "alive" as long as possible, and the next time you play you try to go longer. With this version after you get through level 15 you "win" and the game is over. I was able to do that for most of the game styles the 1st time I played them. The only place to improve is to get through the levels faster, and (for me) that's not fun.

They try to allow you to make a character or sorts (a cube with an eye) but the customization is pitiful (2 eye colors, 2 hair styles) and really would have been better without it.

It also takes an inexplicably long time to load both the start menu and the game board.

A begining.. to hate Tetris

N64 idea of tetris sure is much better than this one, it's a good start for those who want to hate Tetris

lacks the addictiveness of the original

Ever since I first played Tetris on the Gameboy, I was hooked. It was an insanely addictive game, simple to play but challenging to master. This past year, I picked up a copy of the game for the original Nintendo (NES) and I found the game to be just as fun and addictive as I remembered more than a decade ago. When I saw that Tetris was available on the PS2, I was interested in picking up the game. It would be fun for my fiancé and I to play the game together. Unfortunately, this game didn't live up to the standard set by its 8-bit predecessor.

In addition to the classic Tetris, there are several other ways to play Tetris in this game. They all work from the same basic formula of various 4-block shapes falling and needing to be manipulated to form lines. What is different is the goals of each game. Some games require you to form combinations of the same colored blocks, others like "Cascade" allow blocks that become unattached after a line clears to drop down, permitting new scoring combinations. Initially, these new games were interesting, but I found myself craving the classic tetris. That is here, too, but the blocks on the screen are rather small, and there is now an option to play with a time limit.

Even if I didn't like the new Tetris games, I expected that I would be as addicted to the classic tetris. I wasn't. I don't know what was changed, but the game just wasn't as fun and addicting, and yet I can play the NES version today and still get wrapped up in the game. This game doesn't seem to be as fast, the screen is way too small, and whatever was changed causes the game to be not as good. It's the same Tetris, but the updates detract from the game rather than add to it. I can't recommend this. I would suggest you find a NES or a Gameboy and play the original. I'll be much more fun to play.

One star pretty much sums it up...

How can anybody mess up Tetris? Whoever made this game should be sent to prison. The graphics are blurry and even on a 32 inch TV, sitting right up against it, I still could not play without hurting my eyes.

If you liked the original game of Tetris at all, you'll do well to stay away from this disgrace of a video game.

The best part of this game is when you get to turn it off.

Great fun!!! ****

I used to have this as a sample game. I never could find anything that had the whole game. Then i played this. I used to play other tetris' but nothing compares to it like this one. I love how the pieces are split into two colors so they can break apart. You'll have a lot of fun with this game. I know i did. I recomend that you buy this game. It is loads of fun and will keep you busy for a long time.
