The Tetris series returns to its roots, eschewing the Disney characters, 3D pieces, hats, and letters that have been tacked on previous entries.
Contains the standard Tetris game, as well as some variants. Some of the new features are puzzle pieces made of individual parts - after a piece lands, some parts may be able to break off and continue down; "wiggly" pieces that not only provide trippy eye-candy, but may allow you to squeeze a big piece through a tight spot; challenge modes where you must clear a cluttered playfield with limited time/pieces.
Allows for solo or competitive simultaneous play. Also links to a global board via the Internet to compare scores and times.
The gameplay of Tetris is as addictive as ever, with the goal being to rotate and arrange falling blocks known as Tetriminos in order to create solid horizontal lines without gaps.
The pace of the game is quick, and you'll need to think fast to fit the pieces together before they fall, but it's not just about speed - strategy plays a big role too, with different piece types requiring different tactics to clear the board.
