So yesterday, I went to my local arcade/video game shop (a little shop with a couple of astro cities) to play some dodonpachi daiffukatsu black label. I broke my high score and just before leaving, I thought I might have a look at the second hand xbox games to see if they had some shmupers. And I saw this game I didn't know about: Tetris evolution for only 9 euros. I take the box and show it to the shop owner who sends me a little "haaaa, this one, I KNEW nobody else than you would buy it". Which wasn't what I would have tell a client to force him buying out lol So I asked to try the game a couple of minutes and finally got back home with it. First quiet disappointing for me, since it's SRS and furthermore, you cannot change the controllers configuration so I couldn't play with my arcade stick (it only has six buttons and of course, none were mapped with the hold lol) So after a few tries with my xbox pad, I got used to it and actually started to pretty enjoy the game. One hour after starting playing, I turned it off to go to sleep. Was dead tired. First time ever I start a new xbox 360 game and get 12 out of 40 success in only one hour I could even have gotten three more if I wasn't bored playing marathon (half an hour on one game is too much for me haha) Does anyone here play this game ? Coz the wiki doesn't say much about it I don't understand two things: what on earth is a back-to-back tetris ? How on earth do you get a looooot of points faster than doing tetrises ? T-spins and so on ?
Clear two tetrises in a row, without make any other clears in between. T-spins also usually keep the back-to-back chain going. And yeah, you'll mostly likely get the most points by ST stacking.
That's what I thought first, but then, got a back to back tetris without clearing anything before so I was rather surprised Just realised that one of the successes was to clear three tetrises in a row, gotta be patient for this one haha
By "in a row" I don't mean two consecutive pieces. You just need no singles, doubles or triples in between.
I've got this game. Got all the achievements in one sitting, except I think for a few versus-based stragglers. The versus is much better in Tetris Splash unfortunantely. This game has internet lag before you even see the results of your own input. Also as I recall the game insists on contacting the Live servers after each and every game you play in single player, which for some reason means there's a 5 second delay before you can do anything. But yeah my complaints are mostly technical. Mechanically the game is fine. Fun for a few hours I guess, but like most SRS games I got bored quickly with it. Also cyberguile why are you not on my friends list?!?
I bought the game last summer. Also got all achievements within a day. The only achievement I had trouble with was the following: Big Ol Cascade 50 Trigger 8 or more Cascade Line Clears with a single drop. I played multiplayer only for a few days. Problem was that most of the time there was absolutely nobody online. I still managed to get close to top 100 even though I don't like playing with gamepad. This user is/was at the top of quite a few leaderboards with his fast t-spinning. I don't think he likes to play multiplayer though. Also a while ago someone in the introduction thread was looking for players to play online.
I've played it, and it's fine. Fun for a couple of hours like some of you guys already said. Though in my opinion the 360 pad is horrible for Tetris and I can simply not play for even 10 seconds without misdropping.
