As the title of this review suggests, you may feel like I don't like this version of Tetris just because everyone loves it. And, in my own naive self, I used to join the bandwagon that stated that this was the ultimate Tetris game. That was until I actually sat down and played for a while thanks to this website.
   Now, this game IS the game we all know and love, however, in my opinion, that is all the game has going for it. From what I can tell, Tengen made a unlicensed Tetris game, which was taken off of store shelves, and is now a fan favorite to many alike. I don't see why this game has the fans that it does, and I will explain why. (Note this is my opinion, and most of the issues are resolved in other versions of Tetris, therefore the game gets is 8.9 score.)

   This Tetris game is a lot like it's little brother on the Game Boy, with it's very "groovy" music, and game play. However, the music seems a little more water downed. There are more songs to choose from, but they lack the pump that the Game Boy soundtrack had to offer. They even have a song that is very inspired by the "Theme A" song from the portable version, but it just makes you wish it WAS Theme A. The blocks are well shaded and are colorful, but they aren't divided up into little squares like it's little brother. Therefore, you will be confused as to whether or not a block will fit into a designated space.
   As stated previous, these errors are only gripes that I personally have, but they take away some of the experience I wish it would have had. 
   

EsunaBlade89 : This review is a little strange because it seems apparent that you don't realize that this version was in fact the FIRST version made for home consoles (Others had been made in the arcade and home PC's before that)...which was then subsequently taken by Nintendo through court action after they sued because Atari (Tengen) was creating unlicensed games for the console.

Of course newer versions were better than this version. That's always the case. You take a great product and tweak it by adding little things here and there.
