    So many variations on the Tetris formula. This is not one of the better ones. It reminds me of that Sega Genesis game Columns. I think if the controls worked like those, the game would be better. You can only rotate the falling groups as a whole instead of being able to rotate the colors within the group. Some frustration.
    The controls are a bit sensitive..

    For such a low price, Anode is just interesting enough to be a worthwhile take on a puzzle game formula.

    While Anode is striving to take on the giant that is Tetris, I think it fails to be a game of that caliber. There is magic in the simplicity that is Tetris, and Anode just comes off too brash and in-your-face. While the game is not bad, it just doesn’t do anything special. I find it to have only a small amount of enjoyment that putters out quickly.

    Clearly I loved Anode. There's a great level of strategy to it, and while its feet are rooted firmly in classic falling blocks puzzlers, its got a great new idea to keep you on your toes. It is a shame the overall package doesn't include some more modes, but it's only $3.99 and there's still plenty to like, especially for those that like to challenge themselves to getting new high scores.
