My Rating: 6/10

Fair Gameplay. You drop blocks on viruses. Easy game. At the start, you can choose any level up to 19, I think. Sometimes the action gets a little hectic, but try to avoid that ;)

Story:
My Rating: 1/10

There’s a story? No... you just have to drop blocks and such... Something probably happens once you get far enough, but I’m not skilled enough to get that far, and since this is one of those puzzle type games, maybe not... Can get quite fun at times, but gets saddening when you’re about to lose, which can get to be quite often ;)

My Rating: 4/10

Well, 2 songs didn’t make it quite interesting. If there would’ve been more like 5 songs, that would’ve given the game’s music factor alot more interesting :)

Replayability:
My Rating: 8/10

You can play this game over and over again. It’s one of those never-ending games as well. This game deserves an 8 for it’s replayability factor :)

Graphics:
My Rating: 5/10

Well, the graphics aren’t that super. Just plain, like any block-to-block game. The graphics don’t really matter though, as long as the game is fun. The graphics are just like any game boy game you would’ve found back then.

If you’re a Tetris fan, you should get this game. It’s like Tetris, and if you’re a fan of Tetris, you’ll also be a fan of this game. If you like Tetris, then GET THIS GAME!!! You’ll like it! It takes alot of skill, and much perseverance to get far in this game.

BAD. All you need to do pretty much is press 1 button. Not much of a control challenge. This is a good game to play if you’re feeling tired and don’t really want to control much. Otherwise, it’s pretty boring.

To rent or to buy?:

If you’re a Tetris fan, but it. If you’re not a Tetris fan, rent it and see if you find it worth buying. If you do find it worth buying, then buy it. It’s quite a good game, and if you’re a fan of these puzzle games, then this is probably the game for you.

Overall: 6/10. Hey! At least it’s a good game. You stack blocks together trying to get the viruses. it’s quite a challenging puzzle game! Although sometimes when you start doing bad, you start getting mad (hey! that rhymed!). Just think of this game as a “clone” of Tetris.
