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.
