Advantages: Very addictive, Very well thought out, More than the average tetris game

Disadvantages: Almost none

I bought this game when I got the Game Boy colour, and like the game "Puzzled" has kept me very ammused for many years now.

Tetris was the first game that was brought out for the Game boy, and even back then, before it was in colour, I loved it. I used to sit for hours and play it, praying I would one day get to the end so that I could see what the little sceene they played would look like! Yes a bit sad I know, but I was hooked.

I must say though, i am still hooked to the game in its newer form, but sadly not as much as the origional. It does have more features, like the one against the computer which is really great, but when playing the simple traditional game the animated scene at the end of the games leaves something to be desired. Yes I hear you shouting that the first one was only small pixel people playing instruments, but I liked that. I find the whole launching things into space theme a bit drab and boaring. I mean... couldnt they have thought up something a LITTLE more fun/ compelling?

Apart from that aspect I found that this game was very well thought out. I especially liked the fact that there was enough room on the memory for 3 players to save their scores!

There are 4 different game modes:
Marathon, which is the traditional tetris game with different levels, and a score board.
Ultra, which gets you to try for the greatest score in 3 minuits.
40 Lines, which kind of speaks for itself, the quickest time to get 40 lines.
Vs Com, which is the game against the computer. It has 3 different levels of difficulty. It is the best of three that wins each round.

As well as this there is a two player option for people who have a game link cable.

Basically, I thought that this game deserved 5 stars as it is so well put together, and so addictive that it nullafies any shortcomings it may have, which are numbering only one in my opinion ( as mentioned earlier). All round, a grea
t game.
