2.0 out of 5 stars What I wanted was Tetris, what I got was...this, April 25, 2002

Recently when I purchased my new computer there was definitely something missing that I felt was essential; in one word, Tetris. Tetris was a game I played on my old computer quite often when I needed to unwind for a few minutes, and it never failed to entertain with its brilliant simplicity. So, if Tetris was good, an updated version with different variations and spiffy graphics should be even better, right? Well, when you're talking about Tetris Worlds, that's a big negatory.

What's wrong with this game? For starters, you have to insert the CD every time you want to play. The game doesn't copy to your hard drive. That's a lot a unnecessary trouble to go to just for a few minutes' diversion. Very inconvenient. Next, there is this bogus storyline attached to the game. Folks, this is TETRIS, it doesn't need a back story, it just IS. And don't make the mistake of starting in "Arcade" mode where every shape is that identical four-space bar. What a total waste of time that is! How many times do you have to bore yourself with that one level until you can move on? I didn't bother to find out. When you find your way to the game you know and love as "classic" Tetris, it doesn't even keep a running tally for you of how many lines you've cleared until the game is over, and to me that's always been the whole point of the game. I do admit I like the sexy voice every time you clear a line or four telling you what you've done. But there is too much folderol here, too much unnecessary production and bother. It's not worth the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy!, May 21, 2002

If you are expecting the fun and the challenge of the original Tetris, keep on looking. The only positive thing I have to say about this miserable take off on one of the best games of all time is that some of the graphics are nice. This game is so slow and boring that you'll fall asleep long before you reach the highest level. Save your money, and see if you can find a friend with "Tetris Gold."

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Tetris Worlds (CD-ROM)

For starters I did not like this game at all. Its not anything like what the one I use to play on my old computer, which is what I was looking for. It takes forever to get to the game. Then when you play this crazy sexy voice keeps talking. I cant even let my 7 year old play this game. Its horrible. I'm on to find a regular tetris game if possible.
