    Meteos Wars is definitely a lean package, putting in just the bare essentials, and while it might lack the visual zest of some of Q Entertainment’s better-known titles, the gameplay, which hits the right balance between approachability and replayability, more than makes up the difference.

    Meteos Wars is a fast puzzle game that has a refreshing presentation and good gameplay execution, but it lacks substance.

    For Xbox Live Arcade it's not quite the return to last summer's form, and there are more substantial falling-blocks puzzle games with comparable production values elsewhere on the service (Lumines Live, for instance), but if you can look past its slender framework and online issues then Meteos Wars is a decent death blow to a few otherwise productive evenings, and more proof from Q that there's life in the old blocks yet.

    Online play is a huge disappointment, but the frenetic action of the Meteos series has survived the journey to the Xbox Live Arcade intact.

    Not as fun as the original Meteos, but is somewhat fun. The fusion is cut out and that made me mad, but they add 2 new types of elements. I believe they are ice and ink. Anyways, there is no point for new elements if there is no fusion. But the new planets are kinda cool... Last resort:a 6.… Expand
