Tonner Cyn Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Apparently this title is getting released next week with only a $30 price tag. As much as I do enjoy Lumines, Tetris was one of the first games I really spent a lot of time playing. Still, there's a part of me that isn't sure, even at the reduced price. I mean, after all, it is just Tetris, if that makes any sense. Here's the achievements: Tetris Evolution achievements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I love Tetris even to this day & have bought multiple versions over the years. One thing that's key is that it's very easy to make seemingly simple changes that fundamentaly screw it up & that playing before purchase for me is important. If they messup the timing of drops, or the movement when dropping, the game can become far far too easy. For me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony G Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 This will be a definite purchase unless I hear or read this version is fubar. I love Tetris as well and puzzle games in general. Lumines Live is my third most played game (out of 61 games) based on my 360voice blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'll actually be buying this right away. Tetris on XBL was a wonderful diversion the first time around, hopefully it wil be again. Remember, if you get it at best buy to use a gamer gift card coupon for an extra $5 off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davedbc Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 So from looking at the screenshots, I do somewhat have to wonder why this isn't simply a Live Arcade title. While it looks like a decent enough version of Tetris - even at $30 unless there are significant modes that enhance the basic game - I don't know that it's priced quite right. U guess one of the things that concerns me a bit is that the single player game (which is usually how I played Tetris anyway) looks like the playing feild is about 1/3 the screen with the rest of it being a static background. And while I'll presume that the music is a bit better - I remember installing a similar looking game from 5.25" discs - is that an exageration - perhaps, but not that much of one. I guess my point being, where exactly is the "evolution"? That said, as long as it plays well, I could see picking it up when it hits the $20 or under range. Now Tetrisphere on the Wii VC - that would be an instant download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 There is going to be a slimmed down XBLA Arcade version apparently as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Is that still planned, Joey? I'd heard it was originally going to be XBLA but got moved to retail. I could be completely wrong on that - this is old gossip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I have to find the link as I just did a reformat, but on Xboxic either yesterday or the day before they had quotes from some people about the game, and they hinted there was a XBLA version in the works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
