    Simple concenpt. Position falling blocks in a manner that they fill a complete horizontal line. When the line is filled, it disappears and everything above it drops however many lines you made disappear.

    The Good

    This is the version i was raised on, so I may have some bias for it. I like how smooth the controls are. Not clunky, not jerky. They are smooth and understandable. You can make and do moves but only if you have the time to do them. There is less time here than in TetrisDX, which makes this a big harder. But thats a good thing.

    The Bad

    The drop rate is a bit slow in the lower levels and almost insane at the high levels. Maybe thats a good thing? ^_^ Must remember not to rely on holding the button down to move and actually tap the buttons left/right very fast if you wanna get that block to move in time.
