Tetris DS, a Humans Best Friend - 8/10
By Azza123
Tetris, most of us would know what it is, it's a fun, addicting block-falling game. It all started in 1885-86, Alexey Pajitnov, Dmitry Pavlovsky and Vadim Gerasimov devolped the orignal Tetris. Now, Tetris has many variations and has became very, very popular throughout the years.
Tetris DS is different from most Tetris games, why? Well in Tetris DS there are many different game modes. It has Standard, Catch, Mission, Puzzle, Touch and Push. Each featuring there own character, from Mario to Samus Aran.
Game-Play
It's a Super Mario Bros.
Tetris DS is amazing, they put Mario with Tetris which turned out to be a great mix, although Mario doesn't really effect the game. Standard is just basic Tetris, which is the most fun and addicting game mode to play in. Catch is a variation to Tetris. In Catch you have to move the core to fuse with falling Tetriminos, on a Metroid-Styled stage. Mission Mode is a fun mode but sometimes challenging, you are set a goal and you must complete that goal before all you Hearts run out. The Goal can be to clear 2 lines with a certain block or clear 3 lines at a time.
Next is Puzzle Mode, in this mode you are given some blocks to choose from, choose the correct one and put it in the right spot and you could clear that Puzzle. Touch Mode is Fun but not all that addicting. In Touch Mode you must move the Tetris Blocks so they can get cleared. The main aim is clear all the Tetris Blocks. Last but not least, Push. Push Mode is great for Multi player, the main aim is to clear lines which pushes the other opponent Tetris Blocks Down. You will also enjoy playing over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will complete strangers or you mates.
Graphics
It's Super Mario Bros. 3
Well, I can't write much here. It's Tetris but Mario-Styled. You can't want 3D in a Tetris game, then you couldn't call it Tetris. But for Tetris I would think this looks nice. It's very cool to have Super Mario Bros. on the top screen. But depending on how far you get changes the top screen. There's Zelda, Metroid, Super Mario Bros. and many, more. In Touch Mode the Tetris Blocks look very nice, also another thing is in Tetris DS the Tetris Blocks are very nicely coloured as you can see in the image above.
Sound
I had nothing better to put here, but I use these for my Wii.
This is great to listen to, the classic Nintendo Soundtracks. You will enjoy listening to these over and over again. The only bad soundtrack is the one in the Menu, it annoys me and I hate it. But all the rest are magnificent either turn it up or put some headphones in!!
Overall
Game-Play: 8.5/10
Graphics: 7.5/10
Sound: 8/10
