 Muddy colors & not enough gameplay styles March 31, 2010
LanaF (ny)
this tetris has a "story" mode as well as arcade (1 or vs. 2 player, no vs. AI). The gameplay is based on tetris square guys needing a new home on diff planet. you get a little quare mascot. the presentation has good ideass, the explosions are great & lightning when you do a goal such as tetris or cascade, etc., but the colors are very muddy & hard to differentiate.
gameplay tyles:
tetris - original style
square - couldn't get into this, I didn't have instructions & still couldn't figure it out
cascade - try to make back to back tetrises/clear lines by having extra peices from previous tetris/line clear fall down to make more tetries/lines cleared, not bad for those who are great at tetris & need more challenge.
hot lines - about 6 horizontal neon lines at diff spots on the grid, only clearing lines/tetrises on those lines count. lame, unimaginative way to change up tetris.
sticky - starts with grey blocks with holes that you have to clear to the bottom which is the goal (more to clear as level increases as well as speed), but the peices themselves are in different colors, so when they fall & don't fall perfect, they will slide apart & down. adds a great additional strategy, though you can still play like the old way as if they don't split. the only con to this game is that it speeds up the falling peices very quicky before building up the grey blocks at the start. great fun & hope to see it re-done in future wii or next gen nintendo games with also a vs. mode AI & multiplayer.
fusion - has the sticky style of playing, but also adds similar to "bomb bliss" style of tetris as well. not only do you have grey blocks & split colored peices of sticky, but you also have single yellow blocks that fall down. goal is to have all the yellow blocks fall to the bottom to explode & they have to be a full line to do so. when you clear a line though, those yellow blocks don't ever disapear *until bottom in full line* so each line clear will make more holes & adds to the quick thinking & changing of playing field. also a great variation of tetris & hope it gets re-done & add vs. mode AI & multiplayer.
the contraversy/dislikes of this game is the muddy color presentation, I do like the world themes & art style & most importantly, the "easy spin" which allows you to spin & spin & spin for a long time deciding. this can be turned off as well as the "bouncing" of the peices when they land which I found annoying/distracting. this has the hold 1 peice ability as well as ghost to know where the peice will fit if you let if fall down at the spot you're in that second as it falls.
arcade mode does have a vs. mode, but only with a friend, not vs. AI
I still love the old gameboy version as well which had a varation like sticky that starts with grey blocks with holes, but no peices that split. I call it "damage control" as in having holes when playing & knowing you have to fix that ASAP. I wish they would bring that mode back too as they made the blocks as the start high up at high levels without increasing the speed as much.
there are other reviews of this old game on several game sites like gamespot, etc., but there are only a couple of videos on youtube showing gameplay.
 It's a fun game to play. February 23, 2009
Denice J. Johnson (Cordova, Alaska USA)
If you like all the older Tetris games, you will like this one. It would be good for kids to play. It teaches the brain to work problems out fast.
Classic Fun December 6, 2008

Play anywhere from the original game of Tetris to many different variations of the classic game. I have been an on and off Tetris player for about 15 years now and it just never gets old.
A Fun Game for Everyone January 15, 2008
The Techy (Honolulu, HI)
I don't know what it is with all the lower reviews for Tetris Worlds but I had to write a review to speak up about this wonderful game. Yes, it is not the original Tetris. It was not meant to be a copy of the original game. What it is, though, is a fun and addictive game. You will find yourself losing track of time if you play this game. The graphics are nice and the sound is great, too. I found this game to be entertaining for an older gamer like myself. I am sure that young gamers will enjoy it, too. We need to stop comparing sequels to their predecessors and start appreciating games for their own value.
Very hard to get started. March 16, 2006

I found the game very hard to pick the type of game you wanted to play. If you played multi-player and reached a certain level the worst player would still end up beating you. Didn't like too much.
