[DS] Tetris DS

This version of Tetris so far has been the most fun I've had with a Tetris game since TetrisDX on the GBC. All of the modes have a certain appeal, and the presentation is just amazing. I can see myself keeping this one around for a long time to come.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

1. STANDARD - Is it just me, or does the speed start increasing way too soon? The only other Tetris game I've played was the one on the GB, and while the speed in level 10 was definitely increased, it certainly wasn't as fast as the speed in Tetris DS. Then when you get to higher levels, it becomes impossibly fast, and I had to resort to the infinite rotation trick just to survive, and even then, I still had major trouble. Am I the only one who thinks so?

Compared to Tetris DX, it sure does get a lot faster much earlier. I kind of like that though because I felt that Tetris DX dragged on after awhile where I would get up to the super fast speeds but then lose, and go all the way back down. And yes I realize I could've started out a faster speed, but I guess I'm just strange in that I always like to start back at the begining.

3. TOUCH - Meh, I didn't think much of this mode. For some reason sliding pieces doesn't appeal to me, and I don't like the slow pace.

I like this mode for warming myself up if I've just started playing the game. I usually play it at least once before I decide whether to play another round, or change modes. I like it's slower pace overall for playing in the mornings when I'm not entirely awake yet.

4. CATCH - I was looking forward to this mode when I saw gameplay videos, and while it's fun, it's not as awesome as I thought it'd be. It wasn't until I was playing for a while when I realized I could speed up the speed of the falling pieces XD I was going there thinking, "Oh geez, the blocks move way too slow. This isn't fun." Well I'm glad I learned something new.

This is currently one of my favorite modes to play! Granted I haven't played Push yet, but I just love the Metroid theme and reverse logic behind this mode. So much fun.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
