    Make no mistake, Tetris Splash retains the magic that makes Tetris fun... we're just at a point now where most gamers probably have multiple copies of this game.

    Online play is the only redeemable feature of this 'update.' Get "Puzzle Quest" instead. That got three stars. [Christmas 2007, p.98]

    It's the 'fin' end of the wedge for Tetris fans. [Christmas 2007, p.106]

    Tetris Splash gets one point for being Tetris, one point for at least having an online mode and one point for being relatively cheap (assuming you don't bother with the DLC). But it loses points for ugly background graphics, the obligatory ghost block, the bad pacing, the expensive add-ons, the limited multiplayer options and having no sharks.

    Fans of the classic puzzle game should stay far, far away from this truly awful version of Tetris.

    To make matters worse, you can spin blocks once they hit the bottom of the well or other blocks, meaning that the skill is lessend further. [Issue 27, p.118]

    A stripped-down version of Tetris with only two single-player modes and an overreliance upon paying for fish and other aquarium set-pieces is A stripped-down version of Tetris with only two single-player modes and an overreliance upon paying for fish and other aquarium set-pieces is somewhat redeemed by online multiplayer. BONUS: Features a screensaver of your aquarium thus far. That's not really much of a bonus, on second thought.… Full Review »

    A great, very worthy tetris game, leagues above Tetris evolution for 360. Tetris splash is what tetris evolution should have been. Peices can A great, very worthy tetris game, leagues above Tetris evolution for 360. Tetris splash is what tetris evolution should have been. Peices can fall as fast as you can handle them, gameplay is quick, and online play is well planned and to the point. Matchmaking is simple and easy to get into, and scoring in this game is logical, providing reward for well-planned plays. Nevermind the hoopla about the extra content. Casual players will love the simplicity and the ability to add to the fish-tank-screen-saver dealio, and hardcore tetris fans will appreciate the tournament-level gameplay styling. One of my only regrets is that there isn't a built in tournament system. Sure, there is lots of downloadable content that may detract you, but the game is in no way incomplete with the base download. All of the extra downloadable content is related to aesthetic features, such as themes for your fishtank screensaver and the fish themselves. Its actually a cool side feature I appreciate. I have no problem calling Tetris splash the best tetris you can find on home consoles, but note that I do not consider the DS to be a 'home console'.… Full Review »
