The New Tetris
''The New Tetris'' is a puzzle video game for the Nintendo 64. The game was developed by H2O Entertainment and published by Nintendo, based on the latter's popular '' Tetris'' series. The game was originally released on July 31, 1999, in North America. The game is notable for showing scenic fly-bys of famous structures (for examples the Sphinx, the Pantheon, Saint Basil's Cathedral, a Mayan temple, and others) rendered in real-time. This is relatively difficult for the Nintendo 64 hardware to accomplish at the quality that is achieved. ''The New Tetris'' also features a multiplayer mode with up to four players and an ethnically themed electronic dance music soundtrack by Neil Voss, who also composed the award-winning music for ''Tetrisphere''. Game differences There are several key differences in gameplay from the original ''Tetris''. First, in addition to clearing lines, one can also form 4x4 large squares of four pieces to form "blocks." When a block is created, it turns ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tetris Screen005
''Tetris'' (russian: link=no, Тетрис) is a puzzle video game created by Soviet software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984. It has been published by several companies for multiple platforms, most prominently during a dispute over the appropriation of the rights in the late 1980s. After a significant period of publication by Nintendo, the rights reverted to Pajitnov in 1996, who co-founded the Tetris Company with Henk Rogers to manage licensing. In ''Tetris'', players complete lines by moving differently shaped pieces (tetrominoes), which descend onto the playing field. The completed lines disappear and grant the player points, and the player can proceed to fill the vacated spaces. The game ends when the uncleared lines reach the top of the playing field. The longer the player can delay this outcome, the higher their score will be. In multiplayer games, players must last longer than their opponents; in certain versions, players can inflict penalties on opponents by completi ...

Tetris Evolution
''Tetris Evolution'' is a video game, based on Tetris. It was released in 2007 by THQ for the Xbox 360. It was THQ's third and last ''Tetris'' game after ''Tetris Worlds'' and '' Tetris Elements''. It has a rating of 52/100 at Metacritic. Many criticised it for its lack of innovation, limited game modes and high price. GameSpot gave the game a 6.6/10 saying "The single-player and multiplayer options are solid yet predictable, and the game's got all the personality of a screensaver. If 22 years of Tetris have left you tired of the formula, Tetris Evolution will do very little to reignite your passion for this classic Russian mind-bender.
