Mickey Mouse lends his ears to this new version of the classic game, but can also jump right in for a quick game of Tetris in its original form. This game features many clever variations on the tried-and-true Tetris. We recommend going through the game's adventure mode. First, you must choose a Disney character to play. Then, you will race the other cartoon characters in a scavenger hunt for coins that are marked with the number that has been assigned to your character. Most coins can only be collected by winning Tetris matches against other characters, and it's a real race against time to get all the coins you need to win.

Success in the adventure mode grants access to more variations of the standard game--like the ultra-challenging Signal Tetris--and a variety of mind-bending fixed puzzles. Trust us, Magical Tetris Challenge may appeal to kids--but it also holds enough challenge to captivate adult gamers. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Many variations of a classic game
• Adventure mode adds a new twist
• Devious fixed puzzles are a lot of fun

• Must conquer the adventure mode before some of the best game variations are accessible from the title screen
