Tetris DS - DS Game (Retro Fam)

VERY happy with my purchase! shop delivered exactly as stated. retrolio should appreciate honest shops like this one. Thanks!

I bought this for my mom since she loves puzzle games.

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'v.

Love this game and have had many hours of fun with this never get bored recommend to anyone who likes race against time sort of puzzles.

Tetris DS is great introduction to the classic puzzle game. The gaming feel of the backgrounds is great but what makes my day is the multiplayer goodies included here. Tetris DS is a great example of how to make good use of the new portable gaming machine's download features. This game is still just as addictive now as it was back in the day and while it has been reworked to play well with the new DS technology, it sacrifices very little and thus makes this a puzzle game worth your time and money. If you own a Nintendo DS, this is but another game you cannot be without.
