A Look Back at the Greatest DS Puzzlers - Day Two
Posted: June 27, 2008 by Beebles
Tetris DS sure isn’t known for its unique use of the DS or amazing new gameplay formula. It’s really just our old friend Tetris, with a ton of added bonuses that are truly welcomed. THQ was actually going to be the main developer of this game, but they ended up canceling it and, to our surprise, Nintendo took over instead. Nintendo made this game everything it needed to be, starting by keeping the true heart of the gameplay and building from there. They didn’t decide to ruin the game with touch-only gameplay, but the still incorporated the touch screen and duel screen where appropriate by throwing in many extra fun modes that work extremely well. Additionally, the old school theme is a nice touch and gives the game its own feel. Nintendo even offered some of the best multiplayer and online play they have offered on the DS. You can even get up to ten players in certain modes, and all the crazy items just add to the fun. Beware if you have been thinking of purchasing it because the price of Tetris DS these days has almost doubled since it first came out! You can consider yourself an extremely lucky person to find it at a store for 29.99.
