All right, this will be a large review, so I will be adding in interesting facts and how this game started, since Tetris is a largely popular game that has quite the history for a game. Also, this is the Tetris from the NES, so don't confuse it with other Tetris.
I'll write up my regular reviewing parts, such as overall, graphics, sound, addictiveness, story, depth, difficulty, and all that, then a piece of history and interesting facts of the widely-known game. I hope you'll enjoy reading this review written by yours truly, Snowdeath! On this version, the graphics were moderate for a NES game, not overly good but not too bad. It has a nice charm to it with the Tetris challenges, though, so I did enjoy playing Tetris with the graphics. However, to understand what I whole-heartedly mean, you'd have to play it to get a first-hand experience to understand my ideal of this. Graphics are a smooth 6. Alas, this section of sound is once again, blank, since I am fully deaf and there is no way I could rate the music / sound effects in the game. However, if you want to hear the rating of this section, you can simply check the game out yourself, or ask someone else about it. There are reviewing sources available out in the Internet, such as IGN and other sources. Addictivness? I think this goes by not saying, but it is a whooping rating number of ten! You know why? Tetris is extremely addicting, as your brain simulations adheres to the challenge of the game, and you can literally feel yourself being pulled in, wanting to do more on the game, and simply beating everyone's scores, for the pure sheer reason of fun. It's extremely fun, even if you're not a puzzle lover, or anything like that. I would personally suggest this game to anyone, from any ages because it's practically a rite of passage for you to play this famous game. Story has no rating since it has no story at all. There is no objective except to pass the levels and have the highest score. There are no story lines either, because it is purely based on how simple but yet challenging this game is. It's all simple sense, since your objective is to place blocks on each other, attempt to make a linear structure to get them disappear, and keep it up before it overflows and it's all game over. Depth is a great number of 7 since it does mentally offer you a lot, since your brain is simulated by simply playing this game, and you can literally go on hours and hours, even days without getting bored of this game. Rage quitting, however, is a different story! It does have a lot to do too, since you have to focus on the pieces, put them in the right place as you think, and they never stop coming! Difficulty is a bit high of a nine, because it is hard. I do mean seriously hard in the higher levels. If you're trying Tetris out as your first time, I can almost always guarantee that you will lose before you even reach the halfway level of Tetris. In the 'final' level of Tetris, which is 9, it is at the FULL speed, and the game mechanism itself is at its limit for the game, so it would be hard for you to keep it up. Now, for the special researched history... Те́трис, or Tetris in Russian, is a puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov in the Soviet Union. It was released on June 6, 1984 while he was working for the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow. He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix tetra -(all of the game's pieces, known as Tetrominoes, contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport. The Tetris game is a popular use of tetrominoes, the four element special case of polyominoes. Polyominoes have been used in popular puzzles since at least 1907, and the name was given by the mathematician Solomon Golomb in 1953. However, even the enumeration of pentominoes is dated to antiquity. The game (or one of its many variants) is available for nearly every video game console and computer operating system, as well as on devices such as graphing calculators, mobile phones, portable media players, PDAs, Network music players and even as an Easter egg on non-media products like oscilloscopes. It has even inspired Tetris serving dishes and been played on the sides of various buildings, with the record holder for the world's largest fully functional game of Tetris being an effort by Dutch students in 1995 that lit up 15 floors of the Electrical Engineering department at Delft University of Technology. While versions of Tetris were sold for a range of 1980s home computer platforms, it was the hugely successful handheld version for the Game Boy launched in 1989 that established the game as one of the most popular ever. Electronic Gaming Monthly's 100th issue had Tetris in first place as "Greatest Game of All Time". In 2007, Tetris came in secound place in IGN's "100 Greatest Video Games of All Time" in 2007. It has sold more than 70 million copies! In January 2010, it was announced that Tetris has sold more than 100 million copies for cell phones alone since 2005. Impressive, huh? The research source credit goes to Wikipedia. I had a lot of fun reading the history, as this is a stepping stone to where we are in the gaming world. I think I've been typing a bit too long, so I'll speak my overall and conclusions. The overall rating for the NES Tetris is 9.2! It is an amazing game that everyone should play at least once in a while, no matter which version it is, let it be a phone version, a NES version, or even a DS version. I whole-heartedly love this game ever since my mother showed me her Tetris game she played as a child. It is a game for generations. All right, this is a review typed by Snowdeath, your one of the many Vizzed RGR reviewers! This review is purely all on my 2 cents, and if your opinion differs, please don't flame me, because it's only my opinion, and everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Thank you!

Hate to break it to you, but level 9 isn't this game's speed limit. Have fun watching what the NES does to this game at level 29 and beyond.

sonikku : I don't cheat, or more like, trigger to the very limitations. I was saying Level 9 as the real 'end' level, not 29 and beyond.
I recorded and reviewed what I saw with my own eyes, and you need to accept that. I recorded and reviewed what I saw with my own eyes, and you need to accept that. |

Tetris is one of those games that I suck at. Everytime I try to fill up a line, I just can't. For example I am trying to fill of a hole, but that is not the Tetris block I need, and the block doesn't fit anywhere so I made one hole. Then another block comes and it doesn't fit anywhere so I made another hole until I'm all the way to the top, trying to clear all the blocks but then game over. This is why I suck. I never get too much points in this game, and never reach up to level nine once in my life. Even though I am terrible at this game, Tetris is one of the well known games at the time. Anyway, great review Snowdeath! |

I have played Tetris for hours straight and it's a great classic.
Nice review. Didn't think someone can even make a 200 word review for Tetris. You proved me wrong, by a mile. ~Mel Nice review. Didn't think someone can even make a 200 word review for Tetris. You proved me wrong, by a mile. ~Mel |
