Dear DaggerJane of the past,
I know you love Tetris and you want a Tetris game to play on your PS4, and I know this one is on sale, but it is not the way. You need to be patient, wait a bit longer. Play Tetris elsewhere. This one sucks, girl. It sucks. Don't do it. You deserve better.

It's fun, I guess.. I mean, it's Tetris.. as fun as tetris can be, until you realize you have a million better games to play than this one. But hey, it was free!

How the hell do you mess up tetris?? how do you give it a weak soundtrack and bad framerate??? how?????

Really not a worthwhile Tetris game. The music is awful and dreary and the game is slow. It's also kinda hard to see the tetraminos against the background at times.

Hate the mii staring at my soul



Otimo jogo pra quando ta atoa, é tetris, vc sabe o que esperar

One of the more uninspired and bland versions of Tetris that has been published in modern times. It's especially disappointing given it's the only English Tetris game on Vita.

Solid version of 'Tetris' on 3DS, while the loss of online features might hurt it today, they were a good inclusion for the time. The tuning of the game itself is pretty much perfect, presentation is solid, and it has a decent suite of modes. Marathon is rendered a bit redundant since clearing level 15 isn't the highest demand the game could ask of you, but it does unlock the standard endless mode one is after. Sprint and Ultra feel like the expected timed modes you find in any 'Tetris' game worth its salt and they're alright if a bit unimaginative. Battle and Battle Ultimate kinda suck though, the TetriBot is pathetic and doesn't hold up much of a fight at all, you're much better off doing some local play with friends for that sort of experience. The challenge modes are neat though and certainly worth ones time. Overall its fine, not as interesting as something like 'Puyo Puyo Tetris' or 'Tetris Effect' but I prefer the presentation quite a bit more over something like 'Tetris: Axis', but I suspect that title is more feature packed and therefor considered the ideal 3DS 'Tetris' release.

The Vita port of this game has the most utterly terrifying rendition of the Tetris theme. I don't even know how that's possible but it is.

how tf did they fuck up tetris?????

The version of Tetris that had technical issues is fine on the Vita. It is, in fact, Tetris. There's an almost dreamlike, ephemeral soundtrack that fills me with more silent dread than anything else, an online component that's pretty much dead but can at least be played with bots, and a control scheme that uses both of the analog sticks.

...the control scheme isn't very good! Multiple times while using the D-Pad, my finger's slipped to the left analog stick, which is right below it, and accidentally caused a block to hard-drop, or to move in funny ways. But even engaging with the control scheme as intended is all sorts of awkward. It honestly feels like you're playing one of those old-school FPS games on the PS2 or something where you end up changing your controls immediately because the default control scheme uses the right stick to strafe and not the left. I'm assuming this has something to do with the Vita's tiny thumbsticks, but they could have at least taken that into consideration???

Either way, it's just more Tetris. I don't know where they went "wrong" with this one; you'd have to ask my sister about that. All I know is, it's given me a lot more reason to use my Vita than I already have.

Listen. It's Tetris. You can't really go wrong far with it. But even just compared to Tetris DS, the game that directly precedes this, it's so feature-thin. For a Tetris game literally called "ULTIMATE", I can't see any reason to play this game over any other in the series.

Não precisa de muito, cai bloco, põe bloco, fim.

I was a bit worried when i saw this was developed by Ubisoft, but its actually a great port. it has download play, great multiplayer, and the visual style makes me almost prefer it over Tetris Axis. even the online mode is more streamlined though no one plays it online anymore. Its the best Tetris game on 3DS at least.

It's just fine but there are much better Tetris games out there.

I don't think it's as soulless as other people say, but the soundtrack is... Weird? And the pieces are, like, really small. With such a huge screen, I wonder why they decided to put the actual game on such a tiny part of it.

its tetris but if you have a computer there is no reason to play this
