I've played this so manytimes I lost count but what I know is the music is aswome and the game itself is fun as heck :D. Anytime I'm bored this game is the first thing I look for XD.
“...Sometimes I spend ages waiting for a long one because my holes are just too deep! ” - Janet the Dinner Lady on Sexual Positions
As with all popular things, Tetris was developed by those clever people in India into a set of Sexual positions. These seven positions, The Long Straight One, The Square One, The L-shaped One, The Other L-shaped One, The Zig-Zag One, The Other Zig-Zag One, and The T-shaped One, were released just in time for Christmas, and were extremely popular until those who prformed them died of bone disorders. Not Janet though.
I love you Waseem because you gave me a good bj. Can you come round to my house tonight and do the same? I am looking forward to seeing you. Love you xxx
YOU ROCK MY WORLD BABE ;)
Next, we get on to the gameplay. Ha, the gameplay could be summed up in a sentence, but few people realize why it is so good. Most people just think it's a good puzzle game. Some people, like me, recognize its true genius. The game is very VERY simple. All that happens is there are a bunch of falling blocks. The blocks consist of 4 squares re-arranged to make different shapes. You must take the blocks and arrange them in order to make perfect lines. When you do, the blocks will disappear. The objective is to see how long you can go before the blocks overflow to the top of the screen. Pretty simple, huh? Yeah, it is. It was done on the Atari, and I could probably program a game in basic to do it. But, here is where the genius comes in. It is very simple to make, but the game is so complex that its mind boggling how it was made.
You'd think it would be one of those games that you play once and have fun with it, then walk away and never look back. How wrong you are. The game is a black hole that sucks you in. Once you play it you can not put it down. And I am serious. Playing the game is actually very easy. They throw blocks at you, you take them, and press a button to manipulate them in such a way that you can connect them together and make straight lines. Something as simple as re-arranging blocks could never have been dreamed to be so much fun. Whether you're 3 or 30 the game is always fun. It can be played by anyone, and it is one of those games you spend a life-time trying to master. It's basis follows: Every 10 lines you make you go up a level. The blocks start to fall a little faster. Seems simple enough, right? Hahaha. The more you play it the more you realize how simple it is not. As you play it you become better and increase your reflexes to learn where you can place a shape, what shape you should try to make a space for, and ways to setup areas where you can get a Tetris, or four consecutive lines with one block. All the while the game is speeding up, and you must speed up with it.
The game never ends. For all we know someone with no life at home one day might've gotten to level 49. No one can ever end it. While most people think the purpose is to see how many lines you can get, that is not the case. The purpose is actually your high score. You could have 5000 lines, but if your score wasn’t 100,000 you wouldn't get to see the rocket blast off. Another thing about the game. It is totally weird. Getting a score of 100,000 results in seeing a little rocket blast off. A score of 200,000 gets a big rocket. And, beating Type B at level 9 results in Russian Dancers (?). So, basically it means you'll never stop playing. It's like Pac-Man where you could have had the game for 70 years but you can still play it and try to get a higher score.
Anyway, off the gameplay and replay value, I'll get to Sound and Music. Hehehe. It's very odd that you'd think a game with nothing to work with but beeps could have one of the best soundtracks ever. On the majority of the systems, the Type B and Type C tunes are exactly the same. Type B is a very fast paced weird but kinda cool battle song. It's a good tune to play if you're starting on level 9 and the heat is building up. Type C is still rather good, but not nearly as good as Type A (or type B for that matter). Anyway, finally we get to type A. This single track alone is what separates this Tetris from every other Tetris. This is what makes this Tetris better than the NES version, which arguably is the second best one. Why? Because while the Nintendo one has a very good tune from the Nutcracker, this has Korobeiniki. Korobeiniki is an Old Russian tune, which they decided would be good to put back into the gameboy version. And let me say, this is probably the second best game tune of all time. It's such a simple tune. I mean, the thing is nothing but beeps arranged into a line which could probably be done in a song about 15 seconds long just repeatedly looping, but somehow it is just so amazing, like the game. That's the best way to describe it. It's exactly like the game. A very simple thing on the surface but awesome beneath it. As for the sound itself, it's fine. The only sound you can actually hear is when you twist a block or make a straight line.
Finally, there's the control. Some people I have heard complain that it is not as smooth as the Nintendo version. I have no idea what they are talking about. The control is perfect. You use the gameboy's D-pad to move the blocks around and press A to rotate them. Very simple and very easy. Because the game moves very quickly and the control is so good, often you'll be making full 360 spins to fit the piece in just the right place.
So, overall, on your hands you have one of the greatest games ever made on a portable game machine. What could be better? The game has great graphics, the most addictive gameplay ever known to man-kind (Yes Starcraft, Tetris beats you. I'm sorry, but we still love you), one of the best soundtracks ever, perfect and smooth control, and just awesome polish. If all of this wasn't enough Nintendo was so nice that you can play as Mario and Luigi and play against each other! If you have not heard of this game get out of the rock you've been under for 20 years, and if you haven’t bought it yet shell out the 15 bucks it'll take to buy an original gameboy and this game.
Isn't there any moderation on this review section!? At least someone actually reviewed this thing. This is a favourite game for many people. It is a highly addictive and challenging game. It might seem simple at the beginning but you will soon realize that you need to use a lot of skills and reflexes to score higher. The objective of the game is to build straight lines of the falling blocks at the bottom of the game board. Each line completed disappears from the game board adding to your score. If you keep piling up the blocks it will soon touch the top of the game board thus ending your game.
Enjoy!
