The great grandfather of puzzlers,and the absolute best in the genre.

Tetris,a simple,addictive,challenging,fast paced, puzzler that will keep you playing for weeks,months,or in my case,years.For the time,the graphics are solid,and really don't matter in most of these older Gameboy games.

The soundtrack is very memorable.It only contains various beeps and bloops,but they'll stick with you,and never get annoying.

What makes Tetris fun,is very simple.The concept really is just about falling blocks.Though,you can't let the blocks stack to high,so to clear each section,you must get a full row of blocks without any gaps.Its an extremely simple concept,but it is both surprisingly and long lasting fun.Tetris though,can grow extremely fast.It;s quite challenging,but still remains fun.

Final Verdict: Tetris is quite frankly,the grandfather of the puzzle genre.It truly is the best the genre offers,and anyone with a Gameboy,owes it to themselves to play Tetris.
