    A True Future Classic5
    Or it will be, if enough people actually buy the DS and play this game! The idea of Metoes is to line up three blocks of the same colour by moving them vertically within their columns. This results in the blocks ('Meteos') igniting, and the stack launching upwards. Depending on the level ('Planet') it may be necessary to create more ignitions in mid-air, or to launch more Meteos from underneath to push the whole lot off the screen.

    Whilst playing the game takes a little time to get used to, once learned, the game is impossible to put down. With a vast number of planets to unlock and play on, each with its own characteristic gravity, blocks and soundscape (some of which are so good, you'll play the level just to hear them), it takes ages to see everything. And after you do, you'll still keep coming back. This game is perfect fot the DS's touch control, and a real demonstration of the evolution of block puzzle games.

    The only thing stopping Meteos being the DS's version of Tetris is the initial learning curve. But perservere! There's frantic block puzzling to be had!

    A great game, but not perfect.4
    This is indeed a good game. It's the first Tetris-style game I've come across that is as truly original and addictive as Tetris was when it first came out.

    Visually it's very nice, and doesn't try too hard to be flashy at the expense of game play. It's also clear that the game would only work on the DS, since the touch-screen is essential to the way the game is played (particularly when it's going really fast).

    It's addictive, entertaining, varied and overall very enjoyable. For some reason, though, I find myself not wanting to go back to it as often as I would have imagined. I think that although there is variety, once you've played it for long enough you've more or less experienced everything, and the only thing left is to try to beat all your high-scores.

    Probably good for competitive types, but for me it knocks one star off the score.

    Meteos the magnificent !5
    I've read many reviews about this game and couldn't resist buying it and am so pleased that I did. It is in my opinion the BEST GAME ON THE DS, and far exceeded my expectations. It has a really good soundtrack and loads of options and the gameplay is simply amazing !!! Be warned once played you can't put it down !!!!!!!
