Still as addictive as ever.

User Rating: 8.5 | Tetris Evolution X360
By Asagea_888 | Review Date:
Tetris continues to illicit the nostalgic, addictive gameplay even after all these years--from the time I spent glued to the monochromatic Game Boy pack-in. There have been many, MANY variations and versions of it, spanning on almost virtually every game platform you can imagine. It was even in the arcades. So I'm not the least bit surprised about the 360 version. This Gamespot review has labeled it "pricey", but I can assure you as of this writing, the game can be had for under $20, which is quite a bargain considering all those other high-priced newer games on the shelves today.

Numerous game modes, such as Ultra, Eraser and the popular Marathon, provide different ways of playing this time-honored puzzler. You can even customize your skin, backgrounds and background music. It would have been super nice if you could import your own pics and music, but the stuff included in the game is pretty cool. Much of the music is upbeat and lively, and even the popular Tetris theme song has been given the remix treatment.

It's still going strong, and it can still pull you in. There's nothing like it in the entire world, and there may never be anything like it ever again. But until that time comes, you owe it to yourself to give this unique puzzler a deserving shot.

    I briefly enjoyed playing this game but would never buy it. I found the price of 35 dollars plus tax way too expensive, it should have been 400 -800 points instead. Shame on you thq for not setting this up to be a live ... Read Full Review
