This game came out 12 years ago for the playstation and to this day, it's still one of my favorite attack puzzle games of all time. It's a perfect adaptation of the original playstation version too and has lots of secrets to uncover. For those who have never played it before, the idea is to match up gems of similar colors to build up their size, and when a flashing "gem breaker" comes down that matches the color of the gem, it will break the built gems and send over stacked gems for your opponent to deal with and of course they can do the same to you. The game is EXTREMELY addicting.
Rating: - great multiplyer game
man, i got this game about 4-5 years ago, and played 2 player with our neighbor all of the time. ALL OF THE TIME. We must have spent hundreds of hours playing it, then i lost it, and shortly after, moved away. But it was great while it lasted for me, and I love tetris too. So i plan on purchasing it again.
Rating: - Not As I Remembered
This game is just a glorified Tetris. Not as much fun as I remember and quite boring. Thank goodness for SIMS.
Rating: - Surprisingly close to the original ps version!
i couldn't find this game anywhere in a store to test it out, so i had to rely on reviews. after reading them, i wasnt expecting it to be that great, although i was expecting it to be playable. the second i started playing i had memories of beating the hell out of all my friends in college. i would say that this game, being handheld and on a different system, is as close as it could be to the original.
Rating: - Consider the technology involved
Loved it on the PS1, love it here. There are some reviews out there that knock the port for its lower quality music. I say consider the technology involved. Do you really think you can get CD quality music that spans over 500 MB on an original PS1 CD (still more than a cartridge can hold if the music is compressed) in a 5 to 30 MB cartridge? If you think you can without sacrificing sound quality or the quality of the game itself then yes, there is a Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny does poop out painted chicken eggs to celebrate the ressurrection of the Christ.
Other than that (heh) the game holds up on the portable format. If you wanted music then buy the soundtrack to the game. If you want one of the most addictive Tetris clones available, buy this. Yes, I too get skeptical when people make pronouncements like that, but in this case it's true. Yet another puzzle game to take with you on plane/train/car/bus trips.
One of the reviewers here is right though. In Street Puzzle mode the computer seems to be moving that much faster than you and there's no hope of winning unless you randomly set down pieces (because eventually their will be masses of colored blocks that will bust). But you can win.
BTW, don't trust Vijay Boyapati to give an honest review. I am not a Capcom shill as he says. I'm simply reviewing on the game's merits and he sees fit to attack the other reviewers simply because they don't agree with him (which really pisses me off). I haven't had the chance to try the two player mode but I find the rest of the game fun. Is it an exact port of the PSOne version? No! Gee, now I wonder why. To give the game a 2 out of 5 stars just because he didn't like the two player mode is dishonest and I wouldn't trust his reviews at all. Get a second opinion.
