Tetris 2

Grade: B+

Reviewer: Agent K

Company: Nintendo

Rarity: A Little Rare

Expertise: Beat the computer on highest level

This is a pretty darn good game. It's not really anything like tetris other than the fact that you are moving and rotating blocks. In Tetris 2 you have a certain amount of blinking blocks and the goal is to get rid of them all. When three blocks of the same color are lined up they will all disappear. If one of those blocks is the blinking one, it disappears. Once you get them all, you win.

Graphics and Sound: Fine

The graphics are fine, nothing special as it's just Tetris. However, this is one of the few games that I dig the sound of. There is just something catchy about the first song.

Gameplayand Controls: Good

I've never had a problem putting a piece in the wrong place from the controls

Fun?: Tons

This is one fun puzzle game. I find it a little more addicting than Tetris because there is a little more strategy involved. Playing against another person is really fun!

Challenge: Good

When you first start playing even the easiest levels will be challenging, but once you get the hang of it they're not too bad. The highest levels on the other hand are just plain tough.

Features: Lots

For starters you can play 1 player, 2 player, or vs. the computer. Then within each of those there are 3 speeds and 15 different skill levels. Also there are 3 soundtracks available. Also when playing another person you can set each player to different levels. This is great for the expert playing the beginner.

Replay: Tons

Just to beat the computer on level 15 and high speed will take a lot of replaying. But the real replay comes in playing your friends. Get someone around the same skill level and have a blast.

2 Player: Great

The most fun is playing someone else and watching their face as you get rid of your last piece 1 millisecond before they do. Now that's a classic look.

Online Manual/FAQ?: No

Haven't seen a manual for this one.

Bottom Line: A must for puzzle lovers

It's similar to Tetris but is quite difference. Give it a little time to get used to, it's a bit tricky at first.

Tips and Tricks

Anytime you get 6 of the same color in a row, all of the blocks of that color disappear other than the special ones. Also after a while a piece that is 4 of the same color will drop. This is your chance to make the sixer.
If you eliminate the blinking special piece, all special pieces of that color will be eliminated. This only works in 1 player mode.
