Tetris

When Tetris was first released as an App it was sold at a whopping $9.99 price mark, however due to competition and the cheap prices of most apps now days, it has dropped to 69p.

While Tetris is not the most creative thing that EA have ever brought out, they are well know for trying to make a quick wad of cash where ever they can. EA's Tetris lives up to this low standard.  EA have not only released Tetris here, but filled it with a truckload of content, so much so that the game does occasionally lag out or crash.

The visuals within Tetris are very bright, much more vibrant than most Tertis games.  Sometimes these colours create more of a distraction than a lasting appeal.  The game offers a variety of different modes for players to play, yet they are redundant.   The majority of people will just want to play the classic Tetris, that they know and love.  Those that want to check out these other game modes will be highly disappointed, as they are thrown together with little thought or care.

Due to EA being a mainstream company, one would expect a hallmark of quality here, and yet you can see far stronger games made by independent indie games designers.   All of the extra features are hindered by the games appealing execution and the long loading times are unforgivable.

There are far greater puzzle games out there some of which are even free.  Whether Tetris is a personal favourite or not, I would give this version a miss.
