 disappointment June 21, 2008
I was very disappointed in the game itself, but that is not what turned me off on it. I have to keep the CD game disc in my computer in order to play the game. That's just one more thing I have to carry when I travel.
 One of the Best Tetris Games May 28, 2008
I had to write a review because of the undeserved negative reviews of this game. I noticed that one reviewer claimed that the game does not work on Windows XP. I am playing it on Windows XP and there are no problems. Maybe this person does not have the minimum requirements to play video games on his or her system. I really love this game and enjoy throwing it in whenever I feel the need for an hour or so of mindless puzzle action. It is better than the old Tetris. If you like old drabby graphics then by all means stick to the old Tetris. If you like more vibrant colors and cool music background and sound effects then check out Tetris Worlds. I highly recommend this game to everyone of all ages.
Highly Addictive Game! May 28, 2008
I don't know what the other reviewers were playing because this game is just fun. I found that I couldn't stop playing it. It is highly addicting. One reviewer complained that you have to insert the disc in order top play it. But what pc game does not require you to insert the disc? I highly recommend this game to all puzzle freaks and those who loved the old Tetris. The old tetris was great. But it needed some sound and graphic upgrade and this is just what it is.
 The Return Of The Classic Puzzles of Russia March 10, 2005
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
There just have been so many games that are just so nostalgic, they keep coming back better and better. There are times where it either keeps getting better, or just keeps losing ground. That has happened with so many different classic games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and it has happened again with the most classic addictive puzzle game of all time, Tetris. Since this game originated from Russia in the 80's, it has taken on the world by storm, and just keeps surprising so many different gamers of all ages. Yet, while so many just variations lose ground from Tetris, others just come out swinging.
Tetris Worlds is a collection of six different variations of Tetris that really are just amazing. There is the classic Tetris, as well other recognized, new variations of the game including Hot-Line Tetris, the learning game Learning Tetris, which is more like a basic instruction game that teaches people how to play Tetris, Fusion Tetris, Sticky Tetris, and Square Tetris. The graphics are just gorgeous and the gameplay is very simple to operate, with the push of a button on the keyboard. There are also the 2 classic modes from Tetris for all these games such as the story mode, and the arcade mode, where you have to beat the clock to try to clear as many lines as possible.
While you look at so many games that depend on out of the ordinary graphics, it is sometimes so easy to forget about classic games like Tetris. If you have played the game before, Tetris Worlds is a well worth buy for the computer. If you haven't played this puzzled legend before, it is definitely worth the try. Don't be boxed in, without trying this great, delightful game.

Don't always get what is described January 3, 2005

Description says plainly "Platform: Win 98/Me/200/XP. When I clicked on Used and new (directly above Platform info) next page left out any mention of XP. I trusted, and got burned.It will not open on my XP computer. The CD I received is not XP compatible. I sent it back to seller, asking for XP compatible in November, and 6-8 weeks later, no CD, no refund. I just today checked the Amazon listing for XP, and exactly the same thing happened--XP is omitted from details of this second page. I do not trust this listing, and don't think I should pay for a second CD that does not specify XP.
