Ever since Tetris, struck the original GBA it has been hard for people to come up with a puzzle game, so much fun, so addicting, and just so overly simple. Well I think that Meteos is it. The story line, well who am I kidding, if there is a story line, then I would have to say it is that you go around destroying the enemies plantets until you get to Metos. The final one. There is no challenge, but it is the final planet. This is in my opinon what a Star Fox game would look like if it was a puzzle game, there are different paths that you can take, just like in Star Fox. The graphics, are nothing spectacular, but the background are pretty cool, and all the different Meteos look cool as well. I found that the ones that move are the hardest to control all at once and see all together. The control is simple, you just use your stylus, you can use the control pad, but that just makes it pretty complicated, and not as much fun because really how many games are there that take the stylus seriously, not that many. The rules are simple. You have all these different Meteos that have different colors and designs. You have to try to get three in a row, of the same kind (this is kind of like the Bejewled internet game), and then they send rockets up, but you have to get a powerful enough one for it to shoot off screen and then have it count. You can only move things up and down and on the same column, but you can move them as many as you want, but you cannot move them sideways. You do this while blocks fall. There is multiplayer, and that is fun to, seeing how many points you can rack up and beat the others. However this game's replay value comes soley from all the different gameplay options that you have. You can play a 100-Meteos (like the 100 Man Meele from SSBM), or you can set up your own rules. This game may be beatable storywise in under fifteen minutes, but its the abitltiy to play and make you own, that makes this game so much fun. It is kind of cool, because it reads you scores of your DS name, atleast that was my understanding. If you are a Tetris fan, or just looking for that one puzzle game that will without a doubt pass the time away, there is no doubt in my mind that Meteos is the way to go for the most fun on the NIntendo DS,
The thirst thing that I thought when I read Gamespot's preview on Meteos was: this game is just a sort of Tetris clone. When I watched the videos of the game in action I was immediately proven wrong, and repented for my ... Read Full Review
