The bottom line with Tetris DS is that despite the changes, it feels like the Tetris you knew and loved back in the days of the original pea-soup-screened GameBoy. Many of the annoyances and quirks introduced into the series throughout the years have been largely stripped away, and the DS-exclusive additions are almost universally fantastic. Each of the six different modes is loads of fun and will likely suck up endless hours of your time; factor in the potential for some great multiplayer, and Tetris DS ends up a real winner. I honestly do not know how I could keep going on about this game. If you’re a Tetris fan and own a DS, buy this game immediately. The online mode and push modes make this game worthwhile by themselves and of course, the standard Tetris mode is as intense as ever.

There are many other game modes too such as team mode where there are 4 teams split from up to 99 players, and even Vindictus mode where winners are able to compete in a much faster, infinite gravity Tetris. This game is honestly the best battle royal I have ever played. It combines classic tetris game play with 99 player battles causing absolute havoc. The core game is pretty much unchanged from the Game Boy original, but the twist is that you’re playing online with 99 people against you.
