The classic gets the full Nintendo DS treatment. It's Tetris like you've never seen it before! Each of the six modes of play features a theme based on a classic Nintendo game, such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda or Metroid. The traditional Tetriminos (falling blocks) and line-clearing strategy remain the staples of the game, but the touch screen adds a new element of interactivity. Some modes give players special Tetris puzzles to solve. Others feature head-to-head action between two players, or massive wireless battles between 10 DS users, even if only one player has a game card. Players also can log onto Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to compete in two- or four-player battles. Tetris DS even includes a point-based rating system based on players' battle results. Opponents can see one another's ratings, which indicate their skill levels. Every gamer, whether competitive or casual, will find a way to reconnect with one of the most popular puzzle games in history.

5 of 5Besides the original, this is the only Tetris you Wednesday, October 04, 2006 Samas from Elizabethtown, PA
The king of puzzlers is back with a Nintendo flair, and it is as inescapably addicting as the king. Long live the king. The heart and soul of the game is its incredibly difficult 200-line clear mode (basically the old Tetris A game on steroids), but the brand-new modes are very fun and a nice diversion when you need a break from trying to beat your record of 185 lines cleared. Nintendo characters and music from the classic 8-bit era brings a tear to any gamer's eye in this re-imagining of Elorg's greatest masterpiece.
