Tetris

"The best Tetris Game Boy game to date!"

Graphics: 6: Hey, this is Game Boy. And the graphics are pretty simple for this game. The blocks and everything looks like they should, and there's nothing spectacular to say about them. They do got some cool ending scenes like the rockets blasting off, and with a whole bunch of villagers dancing too.

Sound: 10: The original Tetris had the best background music! You can pick from 4 different background music samples to hear during gameplay and they all sound great, plus whe your about to bust the music speeds up making you get very nervous which makes you have a great feel for the game.

Gameplay: 10: Sure, the concept seems easy at first, fitting several different tetrads to form a line, the more lines you get the higher the score. There are a couple of ways to play. There's type A where you simply keep connecting as many lines as you can get, and for every ten lines you complete, the speed level goes up one, so if you managed to connect 120 lines, you'll be moving those tetrads so fast that you might lose your mind. And there's type B, where you gotta complete 25 lines, plus you can pick a certain ''High'' to start off with, a high is random blocks interrupting lines, and you gotta clear the blocks by completing a line with them, which makes the game extra hard. You get the 2 best endings in the game if you beat the game in type B, high 5, speed 9, trust me it can be done, I did it before.

Replay Value: 10: You can use the game link cable to play with a friend, and if you complete 2 lines or more with one tetrad, you send the lines over to there tetris field, today that stuff is known as garbage. Whoever wins 4 rounds first, wins the game! The 2-player mode ads lots of replay value and so des the B type of the game.

Overall: 9: Tetris is loads of fun to play, it never gets boring weather or not if you're playing with just 1 or 2 players. The game is loads of fun to play on the road or at home, and this is one game that should be included in your Game Boy library.
