    How do you make a broken Tetris game?

    Frame rate issues (really serious ones), online problems, even gap spacing problems. I programmed Tetris once for the Amiga with a 7mhz processor and it worked better than this. The Gameboy worked better than this. There are watches that can play Tetris better than this. **** pitiful.

    How did they screw up tetris!? It was so simple yet they completely ruined it. It lags, the music is awful, they added a bunch of dumb features. The graphics are trash. This game just wasn't good but I won't give it a 0 because it wasn't unplayable. This game earned a two though and that's not a good thing

    Ubisoft is a frequent disappointing work, also this game.

    Everyone can think of severity of the online service. Classic music became a strange arrangement is too much to pursue the change. It was just good to have to even extra things. Tetris itself beautiful, but are a pity.

    I've only played after the supposed update, so I cannot imagine a worse game. This game is broken. They have no intentions of fixing it either. If you really have to play Tetris Ultimate, stay away from this version. I've heard bad things about the other versions too, but I've only played this and the 3ds version. It's way better on 3ds.

    Easily the worst Tetris game I've played, It has Frame rate issues, disconnecting from the internet does not fix every problem, I've seen the game skip a few frames while playing endless and past lvl 24 this results in a couple pieces literally appearing on my screen at once. The games constantly crash online leaving you to play an endless game even though you won the game.

The games constantly crash online leaving you to play an endless game even though you won the game. The leaderboard shows Impossible scores for sprint mode (0.01 sec)

    Often the blocks wont spin or go in the "hold slot" shortly after they appear on the screen making the game play A LOT slower as I have to wait for it to be ready for me to go on playing (I think this is unrelated to the frame rate issue)

    There's a problem with the sound glitching in the main menu........ And the list goes on and on.......

    It Is UNPLAYABLE.    … Expand

    I gotta say, as a man who grew up as a boy who played this game on a big Nintendo brick hand-held non-stop...PLEASE QUIT MAKING THIS GAME. Every year, EVERY YEAR there is a "Tetris Ultimate Complete DX Plus Alpha" bull-s*** release that just manages to defecate on the original classic. Tetris, Tetris 2. That concludes the list of good Tetris games.

That concludes the list of good Tetris games. It's not that the idea has gotten worse, its the execution. Why do developers feel the need to breathe new life into this franchise through minuscule, mediocre changes that ultimately flaw the simplistic design that made the original so enjoyable. Now I know what you're thinking..."but there IS a classic mode!". Yeah, there always is. You know why? Because even the developers aren't dumb enough to realize without the classic mode added in THE GAME WOULDN'T SELL! At that point, just go download the original ROM and save yourself copious amounts of money year after year trying to get your old favorite on your new favorite console. Ubisoft has been on a roll recently, so I'm not knocking them. This and that trife Monopoly re-re-re-re-re-re-reboot they did recently are just pocket padding for larger upcoming titles like The Division...but still. 4/10, please note beyond the concept being flawed, this is just a bad iteration of the series. Lot's of hiccups in frame-rate (IN TETRIS!!!!????) and constant connectivity issues make this at best a couch co-op romp that lasts maybe an hour.… Expand

    I use this game to play tetris and its awesome. Marathon mode presents the seemingly insurmountable task of clearing 150 lines at ever increasing speeds, but once you beat that playing endless and seeing how many lines you can clear amounts to one of the best interlude experiences on my PS4.

    A simple game, but excellent, Ubisoft have made a solid version of this classic, Bugs have been ironed out, and it now runs smoothly, if only more people would give this a try. It would be nice to see a few more people online.

    I'm enjoying this game. It's a solid version of Tetris with the additions of online play, AI, co-op modes, and progression. Four player co-op and online is awesome; the music is fair and the visuals are clean. If you like Tetris, have fun!

    For me Tetris remains the greatest puzzle game ever invented and this latest version is one of the better ones. The basic high score mode is available for purists, although more local leaderboards would have been nice, and battle mode is good fun when played with family and/or friends.

    I've not played online at all but offline I've not noticed any of the problems mentioned by other reviews.

    Can´t understand the bad reviews. Mine doesn´t have any framerate issues or such at all.
    I can´t say I´m not enjoying this with friends.
    A few visual options are missed and some ideas for the multiplayer "power ups" could have been added, but its music, presentation and variety of game modes make this a solid game.

    Well, this is tetris without any decent gameplay options. I have not had any issues with game performance. Oddly enough, playing this game nearly every day for several years has earned me a grand total of ZERO trophies.

    While I’m not sure that I would call Ultimate Tetris the ultimate version of Tetris, it certainly is an adequate version of the classic. They nail the basic concept of the classic game but fail to really take it anywhere new. Plus, the online issues are just plain horrendous.

    A new revision of one of the best games ever that adds almost nothing to the PS3 version we already played. However, Tetris is as fun and addictive as ever, even more if you play it with someone.

    Framerate fluctuations render Tetris Ultimate almost unplayable, and while these issues only seem to occur when online, disconnecting tends to strip the title of much of its appeal.
