Meteos = Great Fun and Addictive Gameplay!

Meteos is a really fun and addictive puzzler with plenty of unlockable features that will keep you playing for hours on end. The premise of Meteos is simple, you line up blocks of "Meteos", (which are basically meteors that rain down from the evil planet Meteos) either horizontally or vertically and blast them back into space towards enemy planets. What really makes Meteos unique and fun are the diverse levels, each level representing a certain planet. I found the level designs (levels range from mechanized planets, an earth like planet, and even a bubble planet) and music (music ranges from classical style to techno) unique and the more you play Meteos the more chance you have at unlocking more planets and other features, such as music, weapons, and new elements. Each planet also has its unique set of gravity which effects gameplay.

There are various modes of play in Meteos. You can play Simple Mode, where you basically play until either time runs out or until you lose, there is also a Star Trip mode, which is basically a story mode that pits you against various planets and depending on the route you take, you can see various endings. There is also a multiplayer mode, however I have yet to try this out. All in all, I highly recommend Meteos to the DS player, its gameplay is simple yet highly addictive, it offers loads of unlockable features, replay value is high, and the level designs and game music really take this game to a whole other level.

Challenging, difficult, engaging

This game is very difficult and is up there with Tetris. I actually think it is much more difficult to keep up with Meteos, but it's a great game and you'll definitely enjoy playing.

Strangely Addicting

Normally I'm not a huge fan of puzzle games. But there's just something about this game that makes me love it. Maybe it's the music, which is different on every planet and is directly controlled by the gameplay. Maybe it's the tactile sensation of the stylus based control. Maybe it's just fun to launch things into the sky. Whatever the reason, this game is very, very fun. Essentially, meteors are raining from the sky in the shape of squares, and you use the stylus to align them into groups of three vertically of horizontally. Once they're aligned, they ignite and launch upwards, taking with them all the other Meteos on top. The twist is that every planet has a different gravity. Some favor horizontal launches, some favor vertical. Some make you start other ignitions while the Meteos are mid-air. The stylus controls are very good, and it seldom moves the wrong block. The game is surprisingly deep, and adds a layer of replay value in that you unlock other planets by buying them with Meteos you've launched. You can use these new planets to play a single player game to earn more Meteos or to play wireless multiplayer. Both of which are very fun. Basically, Meteos is a very solid puzzle game that'll leave you addicted, and has great replay value. Give it a try. Even if you don't normally like puzzle games, chances are you'll like this game.

Fun - Once you figure it out

Both me and my fiance had difficulty picking this up to play. I'm ashamed to admit it, but we actually had to look at the game manual. Once we got it down we've had a lot of fun playing this. We're still not sure exactly what we're doing, but we've been making new planets and going cross-eyed and having a blast doing it.

Why is it rated so highly?

I bought this game strictly because of the awesome reviews I have read about it. When I got it and popped it into my DS I was slightly disappointed. The story mode is absolutely useless. There are 3 modes where you travel to different planets, but it's generally all the same thing. There is nothing motivating you to keep going. I enjoyed playing against my friend who owns a DS, but other then that, this game doesn't really hold it's own. I tend to gravitate toward puzzle games that have story lines like 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. I am a huge puzzle fan and Meteos just doesn't hold it's own in my opinion. The graphics and sounds are cute though. Not horrible, just not the best.

Meteos!

This game is a puzzle game. I personally feel that the reviews are too over-rated for what it's worth. It's kind of like Bejeweled except you can only line up blocks vertically, and not horizontally, which kind of bothers me. There's not really a storyline ... it's not incredibly fun, but will probably last you a fairly good ten minutes of game play. It's really the effects when you line up the same colored blocks and the sounds and graphics that give you that "high" of the game.

why is this so fun?

the concept of this game sounds simple enough, colored blocks are falling and you must line up three of the same color in an attepmt to get rid of them. But for some odd reason something so simple is stupidly addictive, i simply could not put this game down for a very long time. With many planets to play on and each one having a different style of play, you must adapt quickly or fall under the crushing wieght of a screen full of meteos. each planet starts out slow to let the player get the hang of it's specific gravity quirks but will gradualy speed up until it simply becomes inhuman to continue. So all in all it is a simple yet highly addictive puzzle game that is an absolute must have for any DS owner.
