Forum Overview :: Reviews :: Tetris Party Deluxe DS

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]If you ever wanted positive proof that modern videogames are aimed at thumbless retards with drool-cups, look no further than Tetris Party Deluxe. Believe it or not, someone doing market research for this game came to the conclusion that Tetris was <B>too hard</B> and the designers subsequently dumbed down the game. I shit you not! So what changes needed to be made to Tetris so that it would not scare off the average videogame consumer today? <LI>A preview of the <B>Next 5 Pieces</B <LI>A <B>Ghost Image</B> of where a piece will land if dropped from its current position. (No, drops are not instantaneous in this game). <LI>Even if you fuck up your ghost-assisted drop you have <B>an entire second</B> to do last minute shifts and rotations to cram your piece into place. (This is much longer than it sounds). And most jaw-dropping of them all: <LI>If you get a piece and decide you aren't ready for that particular shape just yet, click the L button and the shape will be <B>Put on Hold</B> until you're good and ready for it, or even indefinitely! And to add insult to injury, they charge a full $30 for this game!!![/quote]
