Meteos stands alone. Unlike any puzzle game you probably ever played, Meteos drops tiles from the top of the touch screen, you line the tiles vertically and horizontally by sliding them up and down to make three of the same kind of tiles align. They then become rockets and them and all the tiles above them get launched upwards where, if they get to the top of the screen, they disappear from your playing field. It's as addicting as the GBA and DS WarioWare games and it's more hectic than any of those. No easy going to hard here, or at least it takes less time to become hard. To top the shear fun of the game, there are many modes and variations of it. You have ''Simple'', which is simply a round of the game, but you can play by yourself or against up to four computer players, where your wasted tiles get sent to the computer players' playing fields, on a time limit, at a difficulty level, etc. You have ''Star Trip'' where you travel though the universe, battling other single or groups of planets to arrive at the final planet, Meteo, the planet who is sending the tiles (knows as ''Meteos''). Here you can choose three different travel patterns and in two of the three, you can even choose different paths. There are even different endings! There are many more modes, like the multi-player mode, but why spoil it all for you! To top off the variations, different planets have, among other things, different backgrounds, music and sounds, and even how easily Meteos get launched off the screen varies from planet to planet. On one planet, doing so is so hard, launched Meteos disappear before they can leave the ground! Other nifty features are ''Fusion'', which lets you fuse the Meteos you collect after battles to create planets you can play in some of the modes, in-game items, game music and sounds you can play anytime and more, and the game credits, where you can actually play Meteos during the credits! The thrilling yet entertaining Meteos is must-have for puzzle fans and would be at home in any DS collection.
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
