Gamer's Pulse
Its gameplay is solid while it still holds true to the original Tetris concept and is addictively fun.

Promises a solid foundation of endless fun. [Sept 2002, p.164]

A total disappointment, as it does not live up to its prestigious heritage that other Tetris games had.

Much like the graphics, sound, multiplayer, and story (why bother with a story?) these additional game modes are merely a novelty and soon betray themselves as lacklustre additions bolted onto an admittedly great concept.

If you've never played a version of Tetris and are wondering what the fuss is about, you probably wouldn't understand it from this version. Old time fans will also be unimpressed.

I don't think I've ever been this unimpressed by a Tetris game in my entire life.

What is there that's new could be passed on, and the different options, excluding hold, create an all too easy Tetris. There are other Tetrises out there that do it better.

Even the most hardcore Tetris fans will be upset with the sloppy multiplayer and arcade modes and the lack of meaningful new gameplay.

The owners of the Tetris license have got to stop whoring it out. [Sept 2002, p.162]

Unfortunately, Tetris Worlds also introduces one particular change to the gameplay that renders the classic game all but unplayable.

I do not know what people are expecting from this game. I found it the best game to play with my girlfriend. We spend hours trying to beat each other in normal Tetris and Fusion modes. Tetris plays the same as always.
Gavin T. gave it a 10:
I thought it was fun. Thats what games should be. Everyone likes something different, and I liked this game !!
Bob A. gave it a 4:
Good 4 player game, but there is no mode just to play. Instead, you must race to complete 5, 10, 15 ect rows.

How on earth did THQ manage to ruin Tetris? All they needed to do is include the basic game with many options and gameplay types, and people will be happy. Instead they change a key aspect of the gameplay, and basically screw the entire game up. I feel almost generous in rating this a 1.

Horrible! We need the old tetris back.
