No Battery save

I love Tetris, but this game really needs a battery save for high scores and line totals and stuff. Kept an awesome game from greatness... All of the different modes are cool,(my favorite is square tetris), and the graphics aren't too bad either.

Awful port... how do you mess up Tetris?

I was really looking forward to this title. Tetris has been a mainstay of every version of the Gameboy. With the Gameboy color the fantastic Tetris DX was released. Nice, vibrant colors, solid controls, good music and gameplay.

Tetris Worlds did the impossible, it ruined the Tetris experience. THQ is the new developer with the Tetris license and they took this game away from it's core. Tetris is all about the blocks, dropping them down, faster and faster, always focusing on them. Well with their GBA title they decided to do everything possible to distract you while playing. The game has animated backgrounds with bears, eagles, deer & other animals wandering around making it hard to see the blocks. Don't get me started about the flying block character. Ugh! Like the paperclip in Microsoft Office, you just want to slap it. The controls don't feel as responsive, the blocks are hard to distinguish, and the default mode even has this cheater mode enabled where you can both hold onto pieces to use later, see the next 3 pieces coming and even see an outline on the bottom of where your piece will go when dropped. Where's the strategy with that?

All I wanted was Tetris DX in a GBA shell really. Instead I got a game that literally gives me a headache while I try to play it. AVOID this title, pick up a used copy of Tetris DX instead, you'll be much happier.

wonderful

This game is much better then the tetris games for Gameboy or gameboy colour. The colours are just great and the stages are awsome. For ppl that love tetris it is a must have it brings tetris to a whole new level.

I wish I had waited to read more reviews on Amazon before I bought this game. It's good... it's Tetris, so you already know more or less what it's all about. But it's just not great. Tetris DX for Game Boy Color is much better. This new Tetris does not have a battery back up, and it does not have as many good game variations either. In addition, while they put a lot of effort into adding graphics and animations, it actually takes away from the game. I wish I could recommend it, but I just can't.

This game has it all - including a hidden version of Popular Tetris that acts just like the older GB version! The multi-player rocks and some of the new Tetris games are quite fun.

A very colorful and vibrant disappointment

While the game looks great, the 'Tetris' fun is gone. The fun of Tetris is getting better and improving yourself. But there is no recording of scores in this game. I own Tetris DX for the GBC and my wife plays that. I bought this game for her, but since you can't save your highscores the impetis for challenge is gone. At least with Tetris DX you can camp away for hours chipping away at all the records.
Tetris Worlds is pretty graphically and the new modes are fun, but the features found in more primative versions of Tetrix (i.e. DX) should have been incorporated into this version.
Buy Tetris DX instead.

ok game

I loved tetris DX but without the saving of the scores it takes some of the fun out of it. The grapics are cool and i like the new modes. This is a good game but not as good as tetris DX

Mediocre, but somewhat addictive

I've not played Tetris on the small screen Game Boy/Advance before, so I can't compare this to other such products, but compared to other Tetris products, this one will do in a pinch. If you need a mindless, semi-challenging game for a long car ride or to kill an evening at home, then this will do it--if you don't go blind in the process! Maybe I'm just too old for the Gameboy.

I liked it!

I just bought this for my daughter as a gift for Christmas since she is also getting a gameboy advance. I tried it out, you know, to make sure the game worked ok.....wouldn't want to give her a broke game or anything.....anyway, I really liked it. It's been awhile since I've played Tetris.....I especially liked the outline of the piece being dropped at the bottom so that I can see what it's going to look like before I drop it. I also like the various twists on the origianl version.....keeps it challenging and interesting. But what I liked the most was the graphics.....very nice and not distracting from the game....imho.
