Tetris fans might like the 3D frosting that comes with the Nintendo 3DS edition of the game. Just keep in mind that the 3D sparkle wears off quickly. The basic Tetris challenge is the same as always; to steer a falling block into place on a grid as quickly and efficiently as possible. Color and shape matches earn points. This is an excellent exercise in spatial relations. Content includes 20 game modes with names like Marathon, Computer Battle, Fever and Survival, plus Party Game Modes for two to eight players, using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Developed by Hudson Soft for Nintendo.
