Tetris January 12, 2007

its got 6 modes including classic tetris. It basically changes the back round and then one extra thing, like in the fire mode you can clear 8 rows instead of 4 if you super heat the bottom 4 rows by dropping them fast. You can load your music into the program by putting it in the music folder provided so you can listen to your tunes while you play without minimizing. It keeps your score and you can have several log ons.
The only problem is you can't minimize (probably because its an old game?) you have to use CTRL-ALT-DELETE. It doesn't crash the game, thankfully, but its kinda annoying.
One other thing is that when you get a tetris (clear 4 rows at once) the game lags for a second. It doesn't matter if you're competing because it consistently lags for a second (freezes the game to give you your bonus score) so it'll be fair, i just found it slightly annoying.
I'd say if you really like tetris, its worth the $15 i payed for it.
Fun variations on a classic theme. February 3, 2006

I saw the box for this on a shelf a few weeks ago and suddenly realized how long it had been since I'd played Tetris. I didn't even have any Tetris variants on my current PC. Playing this is like being reunited with an old friend.
There's a cool feature that allows you to use any mp3 you have on your system as background music during the game. The default music is pretty dull, but I've now got my own personalized Tetris soundtrack by Prodigy, They Might Be Giants and Björk.
I can't see buying this package if you've already got a different version of Tetris that you regularly play. The elemental variant games are interesting (I actually really like the Fire and Wind games) but not that different from classic Tetris (which is good - why mess with a good thing, eh?). If, like, until recently, me, you don't have Tetris at all anymore, this is a reasonable way to reacquaint yourself with it.

I agree with the previous reviewer about the inferior graphics. I expected much more for my money, and once the disk is initialized, you cannot return it. So don't waste your money on this product.

The graphics are very poor and there is no way to use a controller, you must use the keyboard.
