By comparison, Tetris Ultimate's mode selection is bare-bones.
#TETRIS ULTIMATE SERIES#
While the potential variety of Tetris may seem limited, previous iterations of the series have nonetheless seen some rather inventive new modes using tetrominos. Four-player cooperative modes can seem overwhelming, but they're a nice twist on classic Tetris. You can't get super specific with these values, but the options are nice to have regardless. You can also tweak how long you can rotate a piece at the bottom of its drop-the controversial "easy" or infinite spin is not a default.
For instance, you can turn off the hold queue (which allows you to save a piece for later use), change the behavior of the random generator, or turn off the more advanced wall kick and t-spin maneuvers. But while there are no options to customize the look or sound of the game, Tetris Ultimate sports an admirable list of settings that let you tailor the feel of the game to your liking.
Over three decades, this formula has remained largely unchanged, and rarely have the rules been so much as tweaked. The more lines you clear, the faster the game becomes. The goal is to create a straight, unbroken horizontal line of blocks, which removes the line from the playing field and scores you points (more points if you can eliminate several lines at once). As a randomized parade of pieces falls from the top of the screen one at a time, you can move each one left or right as well as rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise. You are given a vertical playing field in which you drop tetrominos-various shapes composed of four squares each.
#TETRIS ULTIMATE CRACK#
Ubisoft's crack at celebrating the series' history falls into this exact trap, and Tetris Ultimate is mostly a game you can look at and say, "Yep, that's Tetris." Tetris. As a result, just about every gaming platform under the sun (and even many non-gaming platforms-hello, graphing calculators) tends to end up with at least one or two new editions of the same old formula, maybe experimenting with a new mode or two but mostly sticking to what's tried and true. So as hard as it is simply to write something original about the classic, it must be harder to invent new and exciting ways in which to actually play it. Few games even come close to being as universally recognized and understood as the Russian puzzle game that has caused countless people to dream about stacking blocks into perfect lines. On the year of its 30th anniversary, it's hard to think of new things to say about Tetris.
