About the only thing to really recommend this game is the two-player head-to-head mode, but as there's a four-player version of Tetris due for release later this year, you'd be far better off waiting for that. Once you've got over the surprise of the differently shaped and sized new blocks, the Magical Tetris mode becomes fairly boring and even frustrating as larger and larger blocks get dumped on your screen. Judging by the dialogue in Story mode (which is, frankly, excruciating) this game must be aimed at a fairly young age group and in truth it won't hold older audiences' attention very long. This is a fair attempt at a variation on Tetris with bright, colourful graphics. In addition to Magical Tetris mode, there is also an Updown Tetris mode (which is two-player Tetris without the new blocks) and also Endless Tetris mode, which is normal Tetris with no opponents. The biggest innovation is the inclusion of some new shapes for the blocks ranging from small to so-big-it's-ridiculous! When playing in Magical Tetris mode, if you get more than one line at a time, 'magical' energy is sent to your opponent's screen and causes one of these annoying new blocks to appear. This fills up every time you clear a single line and when it reaches the top it wipes out all the blocks above the level of the meter, thus giving you a few seconds of breathing space. Capcom has also attempted to add something to the basic gameplay. One difference is that rather than playing solo, you play split-screen against an opponent - just like the original Game Boy link-up mode. Magical Tetris Challenge is - rather obviously - another Tetris clone, albeit with a few small innovations. Brilliant! Let's do it! Heads You lose?Īnd that's how it happened.
