This review looks really IGNorant to me:

It seems like he doesn't grasp what TR is supposed to be.

Then there's the high-end of the spectrum, Puzzle League DS getting a 9.0, although I take it with some salt since they gave Tetris DS a 9 as well.  Although online is a big selling point, moreso than the original Tetris.  Now they need to put Tetrisphere on the DS, I never played it, and I want to.

I'm getting both titles, since I was a both fans of the original Tomb Raider and Tetris Attack. 

Ohh man I loved Tetris Attack. Tomb Raider was great too, not so sure the new one offers much that makes it worth owning though. Might great for a nice weekend rental._Bear

I think the original's a classic, it's just the graphics and controls make it tough to go back to.  I always had an itch to play through the game again, simply because the levels were so well done.

You'd have to really screw up PdP/TA/PPL, or any variation of Tetris Attack.  I'd like to know the frame rate for the game.  I'm much better at Tetris Attack than Pokemon Puzzle League since I go for more midair slips and late slips than I should and TA has a slower frame rate, giving me a split second longer to do those moves.  

In any case, online is a selling point.  Vs. is pretty worthless, though, at high level play.  Vs. Time Trial is more exciting.  Evenly matched players going after that last chain.  I'm curious on the point system.  TA was glitched in the fact that anything over x13 gives you zero points.  I'm not sure if bonuses were glitches, too.  If you clear any panels not part of the chain, you get the points for whatever part of the chain you're on.  For example, if you get a x6 chain.  If you clear three panels independent of that chain, you'll get x6 points for that clear.  That's how your really score in Tetris Attack.  I can't get x13 consisntently enough to get near the 60,000 Time Trial eliteness.  Best is 32,000.  

I know in PPL, points were given past x13.  Unsure about the bonuses, though.  I still will probably buy it, though.
