Tetris DS
Nintendo DS is definetly coming into it’s own and giving the PSP a run
for best handheld when it releases games like Tetris. The latest
version of this classic puzzle game is still as addictive as ever.
There are still the normal game modes that everyone is use to, but now
there are other modes that can challenge you even more. New modes
include “Push” where you play against someone and be the first to
“push” your opponent to the other side of the screen. It is kind
of like a tetris tug-o-war. Another mode allows you to use the
stylus to “touch” the pieces rather then the hand controls. Then
there are “Puzzle” and “Mission” modes. Each of these modes
requires you to complete an action in a given time or number of
pieces. These two modes are a nice change and challenge when
added to the standard modes. The final mode is a “catch” mode
where you have to catch the pieces as they fall to form a 4×4 block.
The best part though, is the new options that go with the Nintendo
DS. These options include a download mode that allows you to play
with 2 or 4 other players without extra game cartridges if you are in
the same vicinity. You can also have more options of game play if
all players have the game cartridge. The other option is a wi-fi
connection that allows you to connect to other players around the world
to play 2 or 4 players at one time. This is definetly the best
part of the game and allows for a great party atmosphere, and one that
can get rather competitive.
This game is definetly a must buy when it comes to the Nintendo DS.
