4 Non-Puyo Puyo Series with Characters and Backgrounds.3 Puyo Puyo Character Field and/or Icon Only.N64 owners looking for a good multiplayer puzzle game would do well to pick it up, but if you're just looking for a great single-player version of Tetris, open up your closet instead of your wallet. Will you ever complete 500,000 lines and unlock the seventh and final wonder? Not if you're playing alone. The game fires up to a remix of some of the old Game Boy Tetris music, and most of the in-game music consists of some pretty competent drum and bass. The little scenes that unveil the wonders are pretty well animated and really give you a sense of accomplishment. But the backgrounds are very nice-looking, and the blocks are, well, colorful. Once you have enough lines to complete the structure, a lush 3D scene unfolds, complete with a mini history lesson on the structure.
Also, your lines are used to unlock various wonders of the world: You fit Tetris blocks together to build a pyramid or other building. Finally, the ghost shadow of your currently falling piece appears at the bottom of your well for easier placement. Also, you can see the next three pieces most old Tetris games only let you see one piece into the future. This lets you save the straight pieces for later in the game, when you can do the most damage. Another nice touch is the hold piece, which gives you a go-to piece you can swap with the currently falling piece. Clearing this monster block gives you a lot more lines than a normal clear. If you can manage to make a four by four block, it will fuse together into a giant, hulking slab. Other than the modes, it's roughly the same old Tetris, though there are a few more twists. When the highlighted player clears a line, the highlight moves to a random player - maybe even the player who's already highlighted. Hot potato highlights one of the players, and all garbage goes to that player. Directed lets you choose which of your opponents will receive the junk lines, allowing you to gang up on a really good player and knock him out early. None is the boring way to play this disables garbage altogether and makes it more like four separate games than one competition. There are three types of garbage modes to choose from here. The multiplayer mode is where this game pays off, specifically the three- and four-player games. Sprint mode puts a countdown on the proceedings, and whoever clears the most lines wins. Marathon mode is your standard never-ending Tetris game, while ultra mode ends at 150 lines. If you clear more than two lines at once, one or more lines of garbage are sent to the computer player and vice-versa.
The single-player modes in Tetris let you play by yourself or against a computer opponent. Does that make the game any less exciting? Not a bit. So with all these different versions of Tetris, and with one (Capcom's Magical Tetris) already available for the N64, does the world really need a "new" Tetris? Not really. Your goal? Make lines that go across the entire pit. You can rotate and place the shapes wherever you wish. One of six different shapes, each made up of four blocks, descend into a pit. They all pretty much played the same way. It's 1999, and odds are you already own Tetris in one form or another, be it on the Game Boy, NES, PlayStation, or even some crazy freeware Tetris clone for the PC.
