Most Addicting Game on the SNES September 25, 2008

Once I start playing, I can't stop. I stay up all night playing on super hard mode and playing against my friends and family. I can't wait until I can buy this on the Virtual Console.
Fun puzzler that needs strategy. June 16, 2007

This is a very fun game to play multiplayer. The story mode is alright, and the hard mode is _very_ hard. It has training levels, and more than one training level style. Depending on the speed setting you choose this game can be easy, challenging or impossible. If you still play your super nintendo and don't have Tetris Attack, I definitely recommend this game. Very fun times!
 Tetris: The New Class January 3, 2007

This game was released about ten or twelve years ago on the Super Nintendo and gameboy. Read another review to see about how they repackaged this game for Nintendo 64.
A new kind of Tetris. Should it be called Tetris? Yes! It's good enough.
Concept/Gameplay: This game gives a new concept to the Tetris. There are many out there now, and this may be one of the first innovations. Tetris 2?I do not know. The concept uses two crosshair squares which are used to switch block orders. You want to switch block orders in rows or/and columns(not in Tetris) of three or more to remove blocks and not die similar to Tetris and/or Dr. Mario. You can (should) make combos to remove many blocks at once...it's complicated! Speeds go faster too.
Another thing to note is that the blocks go up instead of fall down. There is no bricklaying like tetris. It is all done for you, and you must clean up the mess as blocks continue to move up gradually to quickly.
There is a tutorial for beginners and people who want to improve. This is a good feature to have. It shows a lot of possible combos and how to begin, and very detailed and shows everything exactly.
There are few game modes. Including multiplayer which is one of the best features...it is fun to compete with a friend. There is simply stages where you must eliminate all blocks a certain way in a a few turns, free play(play for forever), and stages(play for a certain amount of time and it gets more difficuly with time). Each level changes once you beat a certain amount of sections. You get to see a new screen and hear a new song. as you progress through levels.
There is also a password system to get back where you left off on the "few moves mode" or the "stage" mode. This is a nice feature. However, I'm not sure if there are unlockables yet.
Good concept/gameplay...it is a 5/5. A good alteration.
Graphics: Graphics barely matter in a puzzle game like this, but there are many colors, shapes, and characters that are pretty and attractive. Making Tetris Attack good to a solely superficial person. Characters are from Super Mario 2 Yoshi's Island...the attractive art of Super Mario World 2 carries on in this game.
4.5/5...A great, but recycled artwork/graphics. Truly beautiful like Candyland. I love this as a superficial person.
Music/Sounds: I really like the music in this game. My friend has said one of the songs sound like, "Sounds like a funeral and happiness...what the heck?!" This may be a bad thing, but I like it. Also one of the songs has a killer bass line. It's quite funny. Most of the songs have an upbeat feel minus the funeral one(the monkey stage).
Now for the sounds...the sound of the game all feels right. Although, some of the sound effects may be annoying to people. I find them to be quite humorous...especially the kid shouting, "Yeah!"
Sound: 5/5...this really depends, but the sound mix is all good. I enjoy the soundtrack. But, be aware of ANNOYING sounds.
This game is also "easy to learn, but hard to master." It is an essential game and very addictive. I'd recommend it to many people. The only wrinkle would be the perhaps more play modes. Howver, it so good the way it is.
The best puzzle game ever! June 12, 2003

I rented this when it first came out, after hearing about it in Nintendo Power Magazine. I played it, and soon after recieved it as a birthday gift, one which my mom was pleased to give me since it was something we could both do together.Although it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the original Tetris, it is still a great game, with a two player mode, computer vs. mode with dificulty ranging from easy to the secret very hard mode (found with a code given after completing hard mode), an endless (go till you lose) mode, a story mode (clear a certain amount of blocks), and a puzzle mode. If you like puzzle games that last for a long time, prepare to be pleased by one of the last great games for SNES. I believe that there is a Pokemon game for N64 similar to this if you no longer or never have had a SNES, which is a good alternative, I suppose (although I am getting sick of Pokemon).
This is the best! June 10, 2003

Definately the best puzzle game ever. I can beat it no problem on extra hard mode though! For an even harder version (really hard) of the same thing, try Pokemon Puzzle League on the N64!
