Electronic Arts Tetris v4.21.41.N-GAGE.SymbianOS9.1.Cracked-BiNPDA


[LEFT]Gameplay

It'sTetris, which if you don't know (cue the usual comments about beingfrom another planet) involves arranging falling blocks or "tetrominoes"into horizontal lines which makes them disappear.

There are six modes, all variations on the usual Tetris formula:

- Marathon: Pretty much the classic Tetris, you try to score as highly as possible while making up to 150 lines.

- Ultra: Score as much as possible in two minutes.

- 40 Lines: Create forty lines as quickly as possible.

- Versus: You play against a computer opponent. Each of you hasyour own Tetris playing area, and you can "attack" your opponent bycreating more than two lines at once. Attacks cause extra blocks toappear in their playing area.

- Clash: Another player vs. computer mode where you both try to get to a certain score first by placing blocks in the same playing area.

- Challenge: A "pass around" multi-player mode for up to fourpeople where you pass the phone between players and the winner is theone who scores the most. Everyone in the round gets exactly the sametetrominoes in the same order, so it's a level playing field.

These modes successfully cover all the main playing styles and skills,though it's a shame that only one of them (Challenge) involves otherhumans. All the modes have numerous options which let you tweak thegame to suit your personal preferences, and you can also redefine allof the keys too. There was no option to change the screen orientationthough.

Actually playing the game works without any problems, the blocks dropfine and you can use any control keys you want to. This is Tetris, andit's an addictive game on practically any gaming platform.
The main problem with the gameplay though is the menu system you haveto navigate, which makes even simple actions cumbersome. Tetris is theultimate instant-play title, but for example if you want to changemodes while playing, here's what you have to do: pause the game, selectthe menu option, confirm you want to leave the current game, press thesingle player option (even if you're using multi-player Challengemode), then within the next few seconds press the d-pad button to betaken to the "game settings" screen. If you wait too long to press thebutton, it takes you back to where you started. The graphics make thishopping from screen to screen even more frustrating but more on thatlater.

Graphicswise EA haven't exactly pushed the boat out here. It's Tetris,it's the same old blocks you've seen since the 1980s with the sameplaying area too. It's perfectly functional, but there's absolutelynothing spectacular here.

This simplicity might be okay if it helped the flow of the game, butthis is marred yet again by the awkward menu system, this time in itsgraphics department. Apparently suffering from CSI syndrome, the N-Gageversion of Tetris takes the terrible design decision to make everysingle screen appear with animated sweeps, and every single word appearwith nonsense-turning-into-english animation. This might be okay forthe opening credits but it should not appear every single time in everyoptions menu of a phone game, particularly one like Tetris where youplay it in very short bursts.

Sound is very disappointing. There's no music at all except a verybrief clip of the classic Tetris tune on the title screen, and thein-game sound effects are utterly forgettable.



N-Gage Arena

There's an online rankings sytem with global leaderboards which show the top ten players in each game mode. That's it.

The vast majority of players are extremely unlikely to ever getanywhere near the top ten so you can safely ignore the leaderboards,and if you're not in the top ten it doesn't even tell you what yourcurrent ranking actually is.



Overall

A universal phenomenon on new gaming platforms is that the third partysoftware during the launch period is extremely shoddy. This has alwaysbeen the case since the very first home computers and consoles, and itwill probably always be the case. Third party developers hate thefinancial risk of releasing games on a new platform, and they will betechnically unfamiliar with new hardware too, so their first games tendto be quick and easy ports of games from older platforms.

If you want the real official Tetris on your N-Gage-compatible phonethen this will probably do the job, and to an extent reviews like thisare pointless because a lot of people will buy this game on the namealone.

However, if you want a quality conversion of a classic game which makesfull use of the N-Gage platform, this is not it. There's no onlinemultiplayer, no Bluetooth multiplayer, only one hotseat mode, the menuis needlessly difficult to navigate, the graphics are bland and thesound is practically non-existent. This reeks of a cheap "will thisdo?" cash-in using a famous licence.
