Absolutely beautiful game with killer music.

The Good
Tetris Attack is a fun and addictive game with a Yoshi theme. It has a unique twist on the classic Tetris gameplay, where instead of blocks falling from the top of the screen, a complete row of random blocks appears from the bottom, causing all the current blocks to be pushed upward. The objective is to prevent the blocks from reaching the top of the screen by aligning 3 or more of the same colour to eliminate them. The game has 4 modes for single player: Endless, Time Trial, Stage Clear, Puzzle, and VS. In Endless mode, you aim to score as many points as possible by making combinations of blocks until they reach the top of the screen. Time Trial mode gives you a limited time to rack up points before moving on to the next level, and Stage Clear mode is a story mode with 5 levels per round, including bonus rounds. Puzzle mode challenges you to eliminate blocks in a certain number of moves, while Versus mode is a 2-player mode against the computer. There are also 2 2-player modes: Time Trial and VS. With so many options, Tetris Attack is a great game for improving your strategy and reflexes. Just be sure to take breaks to rest your eyes.

Best of all is the soundtrack which has inspired many modern remixes from musicians like Doffu and Overclocked.

The Bad
The game can get extremely challenging. I need frequent breaks to rest.

The Bottom Line
It resembles Tetris in some ways but provides a new puzzle gaming experience with an awesome soundtrack and beautiful graphics.
