5.0 out of 5 stars A solid Tetris Incarnation, June 20, 2001

I can't say that my experience with the "Next Tetris" has been afflicted with any of the flaws witnessed by my peers -- it hasn't. It has, in fact, been the single most satisfying Tetris experience that I have ever had the joy of... experiencing.

With a wide variety of play-modes, a compelling soundtrack and online play, even a Tetris novice can fritter away hours in a single sitting.

What else can I say? It's Tetris.

1.0 out of 5 stars This game is a buggy mess, January 23, 2001

This review is from: The Next Tetris (Video Game)

Do not buy this game!! Here is why:

1)Neither Sega nor Crave have any mention of the game on their respective web sites and neither does ...the site mentioned in the instruction manual. They aren't too proud of this one.

2)I have found several bugs in the game including:

a)random changing of names on the players list to blank spaces or a single square box

b)on 2 seperate occasions a falling piece has fallen through one block to rest on a block immediately below where it should be

c)while playing a 2 player game, the player 1 controller started to control both games being played (happened 2 times in a row)

d)sometimes at the beginning of a round an extra second ticks of the clock before pieces are allowed to move

e)when playing somebody with lower rank, the lower rank player can move their blocks a fraction of a second sooner than the higher rank player.

3)I have rarely found other people online to actually play against

4)There are much cheaper (and probably less buggy) versions of this game available for playstation and PC.

Whatta ya want! Its Tetris with flashy graphics a gajillion modes of play and the ability to challenge your block stacking skills against a slew of random tetris fans via your dc and its modem. I think its better than it has ever been even though this game is meant for short spurts of gameplay you will find yourself wasting hours on this one. If tetris ever captured your attention you should buy this one it will bring back fond memories and provide countless new ones.
