If you liked Tetris on the DS you will love Tetris Xbox live style. It's great single or up to 4 multiplayer. It has cool skins and background music and videos while you play. If you like your 360 and Tetris buy this!

The Best Tetris yet!!!!

This has to be the best Tetris yet! I love the multiplayer features, which allow up to 4 people to play. Some of the achievements are a little rought to get, but they are doable. We are about 80% through and have had it for a week. A truly great game, but I don't think we will play it any more once we achieve all of the achievements! An easy 1000 points!

Just as fun as it used to be.

Growing up my mom and I used to play tetris together on the original Nintendo. It was one of very few games that she would play with me. Now when I go to visit her we can play again.

I was so happy when this came out for Xbox 360 since there were not many games at all that I was interested in and I wasn't disappointed. This version does expand upon previous versions of Tetris and I like the idea that you can have up to four people playing even though I haven't tried that yet.

Some of the achievements are rather hard but it gives us something to work towards.

fun fun fun

I have always loved tetris so when I saw it for the 360 of course I had to have it. Love playing it and always will.

I remember playing Tetris on Sega and SNES, and I loved it back then. I'm glad Xbox 360 re-made the game and added some different play modes. I'm hooked again!

Exactly what you would expect, with a couple of bells and whistles

Tetris evolution is based upon the world popular game: Tetris. Since I was looking for a Tetris game on a more advanced platform (the xbox 360), this fit the standards perfectly. The game is fun to play and you can get lost in those falling blocks for hours. There are many different customizations that Evolutions allows, both for your character, and background environment (including music and videos).
My only problem with Tetris Evolution is that it can be somewhat repetitive after a while of playing. However, those who have played Tetris before (any version of it) will find that it meets their expectations and goes beyond.
Great price for what it offers. Shipping was very fast and box came in perfect condition.

Great game!

as always tetris is fun, but this one doesn't seem to have all the same versions as previous games. i know it is supposed to be "evolution" but they really didn't do anything different other than the backgrounds and such.

Warning ... this game is very addictive. My husband and I both find ourselves saying, one more game ... a challenge!

Fun but nothing new here

I purchased this game mainly for my wife, who prefers the simplicity of old-school video games like Tetris and PacMan. My kids and I have enjoyed playing this game as well. Two-player mode is nice.

The game backgrounds are nice, but can be distracting, and can't be turned off. One Con is that besides the nice graphics there really isn't anything new here. Also, the high scores are kept awkwardly, as we still haven't figured out how to keep them from all being assigned to the 1st player. Finally, I really disliked the way the XBox 360 achievements are set up -- you have to play all the different modes to get them, and they're basically just accomplishing the same handful of objectives (e.g. back to back tetrises, getting x points) on each of diffrent modes. Would've prefered to have more of the goals achievable via the standard tetris game that most people will be playing.

Overall -- If you want/need a tetris game for a next-gen system, this is a good choice, but if you already have a tetris game on another platform that you enjoy there's nothing new here that would make this purchase necessary.
