Tetris DS

Well, although Castlevania and Advance Wars are awesome games, they don't have as much replay value once you finish them as I would like, so I traded them in and picked up Tetris DS.

First off, I have to say, that I played Tetris DX on my Game Boy Pocket for hours on end, and other than that game, I didn't like the way the controls felt for any other Tetris game, I'm not sure why, they just always felt sluggish. Needless to say I was worried that this was going to be the case with the newest Tetris, I'm happy to report that it was not. The controls are dead on, and I'm glad I finally have a Tetris game to play on my DS, since Tetris DX wasn't compatable.

The online play is great, I'm having a blast with this game, and the different modes are pretty creative. The games music is pretty much remixes from old Nintendo games, and is a lot of fun, I do wish the music would change up a bit while you're playing online though. I guess that is my only complaint about the game.

I haven't tried a four player game, but I've heard they are hard to get going unless you have four friends and work it out ahead of time. I do wish it hadn't come out so close to Metroid Prime Hunters as I would love to get my hands on that game as well. I was flip flopping between which one to get I settled on Tetris because I figured it would have more replay value. Depending on when the New Super Mario Bros. comes out, MPH will probably be my next game. However I don't know if anything can steal my attention from Tetris right now, if I had to describe it in a few short words, I'd say simple, fast paced, and fun.

New SMB to have 80 Levels?


Looks like the Newest Super Mario Bros. game is going to be the biggest as well, sporting 80 levels. I'm really looking forward to this game, its one of the reasons I bought my DS, which I've been having a blast with. There are a few images at JeuxFrance
