Public Opinion Overall Rating: 8.9 9Tetris clone? Look no further, this one has everything. Responsive control and clean sound. You get a nice soft click instead of an annoying 'clack' I expect from other tetris clones. Great music selection, too. The only down side (?) is too many menus and options. Just take me to the game! 8Well done!Graphics(80%),sounds(85%),fun(85%) and many supproted languages.
I just didn't like that some options weren't avaibale right now and that the game doesn't save your highscores. 8Amazingly configurable. Great audio and visuals. Too bad it seems to have been abandoned without first implementing the crucial highscores feature.
