If youlike teris this is the game for you. Not at all like the tetris on your cell phone. It has all these types of crazy levels and settings. Very fun!

For new causal gamers who never played Tetris before, this is quite good. However, for those trying to relive memories from the past, I didn't think it was anything special. The graphics are better, but I miss the block-style from before and the old music. The music is all new techno and none of the old. The menus and multi-player seem quite unpolished. I haven't played the single-player form though.

This game is super lame. I played it for all of 5 minutes and then put it in its case and haven't looked at it since. It's really boring, and the levels suck. It's just tetris, there's nothing more, and it's really easy and boring. I bought it for 1/3 of the price listed on amazon and I still hate it. Go with something else.

This is not what I purchased

The game I ordered was tetris, instead I got 2 demo games. Neither are full games. What a rip. It was a gift for my daughters birthday. A total waste of money.

The biggest problem with this game is IT DOES NOT SUPPORT HDTV. If you have and use the XBox HDTV pack, then don't waste your money because this game WILL NOT PLAY on the xbox using the HDTV pack. You must use the standard XBox cable.

NOT IMPRESSED! But this game came free with our xbox

I was really excited when I purchased our xbox to see that Tetris was one of the free games that came with our system. This was the first game I played on the xbox and I was not impressed. I have played tetris on just about every console that made this game. I always liked it and loved to play Tetris. My expectations of this game was the graphics would be great and it would have lots of new things added to it....wrong! The game is very hard to see, they have a tiny screen for the game play and a background on the sides- why??? If they would have made this game full screen I might have given it a better review. I have a 36' tv and I can hardly see to play this game! My husband also complained about this. Not a good choice, but it was free, so who can complain too much?

I was hoping for some sort of improvement.

"Tetrisphere" came out for the Nintendo 64 back in 1997. In my mind, it is still the gold standard for Tetris games. H2O tinkered with the extremely addictive puzzle game and took a big chance with it. The developers made the game 3D and risked alienating a lot of video game enthusiasts by tampering with a proven formula. Instead, the title was a big success and showed that a popular game can be dramatically changed without losing any of its fun factor.

With that said...this game plays it too safe and is only fun for a few hours. Three of the Tetris variations included have already been seen before and the other three variations are nothing to get excited about. THQ's big contribution to the world of Tetris was their attempt to have a Story Mode. The Minos' sun is going to "go nova" and it's up to you to save their civilization by using Tetrions to open gateways to other worlds. Oooohhhh...how enthralling!

What it all comes down to is this: the player plays six different versions of Tetris. They have to achieve Rank 11 in each of the Tetris games. That's it. There is an opening and closing FMV and that is the whole story. What's the point of that? Yeah...I don't know either.

It goes without saying that the only people who should have bought this game are those who absolutely, positively needed a Tetris game for their Xbox. Otherwise, please be patient and see if a developer out there actually has the courage to revamp the Tetris platform and come out with another winner like "Tetrisphere".

Eh...I don't know

Do you already own a version of Tetris? If so, stick with that, and pretend that this one doesn't exist. It's not that Tetris Worlds is a bad game, it just...ok, it's bad. Though I admire the developers for trying to do new things with the concept of Tetris, they just didn't seem to think of anything very good.

There are a few modes of Tetris here, in addition to the original one. Really, you won't be playing any of those, as they don't make any sense. I don't think anyone wants to play Tetris, but only clear out specific lines and colors. It's not challenging, just annoying. I won't describe the other variations of the game, since really, I only played them once and left them for dead. What really sucks regarding gameplay though, is that the box where the pieces fall in is narrow. Remember how the original Tetris for NES and GB took up a good amount of the screen? Well it only takes up like 1/3 here...maybe a little more. But unless you're close to the tv, you'll be squinting at the pieces trying to pin-point where they should go. There's also a "ghost" feature. What it is is whichever piece you're moving around will have a faded version at the bottom of the box, showing where it'll be and how it'll look. I thought it was kind of annoying, since you're paying attention to the block you're moving, and there's something at the bottom that distracts you. Luckily, you can turn this feature off.

At least the music's good. It's all techno/ambient and somehow, fits the game pretty well. If you don't like the music, then you can always use the Xbox's custom soundtrack feature and make your own to hear during gameplay. There's only one problem with that: whenever you restart or pick a different mode, the soundtrack automatically skips to the next track even if you weren't finished with the current one. The graphics, well, there aren't much to them. The blocks are well animated (that sounds so lame), and the things going on in the background are nice looking I guess. It's not like Tetris was ever meant to break the graphic chart or anything.

Somehow, there's a story mode. I could read the instruction book to find out what it is, but that's ok, I'll pass. Looking over the other reviews here, I guess it has something to do with getting robots off a planet. *sigh* TETRIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO HAVE A STORY MODE. What's next? A Tetris rpg or 3-part movie series? Also, there's of course the online mode. But I don't care about online games. If you do play 'em, then there you go. I guess it'd be fun taking on other people via Xbox Live, especially since it can get boring once in a while in single mode.

Again, if you already own Tetris, stick with that version. $20 for a flashy version of it isn't really worth it. I'm lucky I got this with my Xbox and didn't have to pay for it. But if you don't have Tetris in any form, then you can probably find this in a used section for less than half the retail price.

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS
