I have played just about any Tetris out there. This one beats them all by a long shot. Needing at first 30 lines to level rather than 10 is a real challenge. It tests the real player.

Graphics: 8
Pretty good graphics considering the time the game was created.

Sound: 9
Choosing fromg classical music everyone knows is much better than having to listen to something they made made strictly for the game.

Gameplay: 8
Basic Tetris game. You move the piece.

Overall: 9
When this game was made, it smoked the other Tetris game out there, and it still beats most of the new ones.

It is a definite must for any game player looking for a challenge.

Anyone who has ever played tetris should get this game simply for one option: Two Player Cooperative Tetris. This is the most entertaining version of the game I have ever played. You actually have one board and two pieces falling at the same time. My fiance and I stayed up for hours the first night we got this game playing. If you have a friend who likes tetris or has half a brain, get this game and give it a go. Even if you don't, the computer can also play cooperatively with you.

It's Tetris. My only gripe is that the previously played pieces all turn the same color, which takes away from some of the colorful appeal present in other Tetris versions.

Sound: 8
It's standard Tetris Russian music, I only wish you could change which song you were listening to without ending your game.

Gameplay: 10
Great great gameplay, many many different games in one. Grand slam.

Overall: 10

This is my favorite Tetris game of the NES.

This Tetris game is better than other two Tetris of Nintendo, because this one has better options like the two player mode that is great, or the gameplay that is better than the other Tetris.

Graphics: 10
Remember, this game is of NES, it may not has an excellent graphics, but this graphics are great for this Tetris.

Another things is the color of the pieces when you change of level of speed, the colors won't make you lose the control, like the first Tetris of Nintendo.

Sound: 10
This Tetris has more music than the other Tetris of Nintendo.

The sound is fine and the music too, I don't know what more I can say, but the sound and music for this Tetris are good.

Gameplay: 10
The gameplay of this Tetris is better than the others Tetris of NES, because you can easily change the way of the falling pieces, that is all can I say.

Overall: 10
This Tetris is excellent for NES for its options.

Another good thing is that you change the speed level when you complete 30 lines (Then number of lines changes with the speed change during the game), this is an excellent challenge, and when you complete the number of lines, you can see people dancing in little squares, like the congratulations of the game.

This is best Tetris of NES, I recommend it a lot to a Teris fan or player, you will love it when you check it.
