What you do in the game

In this game you design your own character at the start and play through the game as him, even though your character wasn't in the movie you still play major parts from it.

Note: You really need to have seen the film to understand the game.

Graphics The graphics in this game are really good (not including cutscenes as the graphics are usually good on them) life-like people walk the streets and each individual person even has their own name. Weapons also have good graphics. Main characters in the game have extra, detailed features and look even better than civillians. Each city has good graphics like the buildings etc. Though shops are heavily recycled. You will get used to it. The cars graphics aren't really good as you can't see through the windows. They have a cartoonish look to them. The cars are the thing in the game that stopped me giving the graphics 10 points in this review.

Gameplay

The gameplay is quite good, though not the best, the best thing is extorting shopkeepers and forcing them to give you protection money, thats if they don't give you it when you ask them nicely at the start, Sometimes you can push shopkeepers past their limit when extorting them and they will fight back hard. The freestyle fighting is cool at the start but gets boring when you have played the game long enough. The special gun moves are the same with the freestyle fighting, fun at the start then boring. Also the game is to easy, there isn't really a hard mission in the game. The cars are also a major problem, they actually are like a 1940's car, too slow can't turn properly etc. br />

Note: To change your characters clothes you have to gain money save the game, load it and then select ' Go to the tailor shop' .

The game is compaired to GTA, but that isn't really true, the only thing the games have in common is the map at the bottom right of the screen and the fact the the triangle button gets you in a car. I bought the game for £29.99 which is about $49.99, $59..99 in the US , I'm not sure bu It's not worth that, I think it's only worth about £20.00 which it is at a games shop near me at the moment. This game definetly isn't for everyone, I mean I love free roaming, random killing games but this game didn't give me a thrill, so you should definetly rent it first. But, I suppose it's still a good game for some.

Tetris bring me back shivers. I used to play this game a lot. One of the best classic games i like. Actually this was the first game i ever bought for my gameboy. I beat all the levels and on B mode. My highest level playing on A mode was level 24. Can anyone beat that?

  I don't understand why it was named Tetris
Review created: 03/28/08
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I like this game because the items that come down, at first, fall slowly so at least I have a chance to make some lines before it starts going faster. You have to decide where you are going to fit them in to complete a line to score points.When you make a complete line it disappears.You want to keep the line low so you have a chance to turn the items around in order to make a line. As it changes to the next level the item falling comes down fast so it becomes a challenge to turn the item and fit it in to make the line complete so the line will diappear, keeping it low enough to allow the next item to come down. It is hard when you don't get the shape you need to complete a line and they just fall on top of eachother causing it to build up close to the top.If the items can't fall down because it is too high up, then the game ends. This is the only game that I love to play. It is habit forming though. It is so fun

Great for those who don't want to race or shoot anything. Very straight forward and easy to play, take out four lines at a time and receive the highest score. When you reach 100,000 points you set off a rocket launch as your reward.

I've purchased several game boy games on e-bay. I wanted tetris and couldn't find it in stores any longer and found several on e-bay. Make sure you read all the information carefully. I've never really had a bad experience because most sellers are pretty straight forward about the condition of their items, what's included, and have good pictures. If you have any questions, ask the seller. Use the postage calculators when available because sometimes you can spend a little more so you're not outbid when you have a good idea of postage. If you're new, bid low and get a feel for the whole process. It's fun and you can get some great bargains.

  Not for Gameboy SP
Review created: 11/03/09

I can't really rate the game. I thought it worked fro
the SP version, but it doesn't. It plugs in but I guess too
old of a game. I'm sure it would be fantastic fun if it
would work.

I've played many, MANY versions of and variations on Tetris over the years. I finally got around to replacing the Game Boy cartridge I'd lost so long ago. I should have just done that in the first place. This game is perfection. Buy a copy, you'll not regret it. :)

  Great Tetris Game
Review created: 10/05/09
by:

I bought this game ~2 weeks ago and I love it. It is a great classic game that anyone should buy. It is in great condition. The only problem I had is that it stopped at level six, the screen went blank. Not all Tetris games do this but I still play it because it is so much fun.
In the game you have blocks that fall down in different shapes and you have to match them together so that you makes lines which will disappear to get points.
This is still one of the best games out there.

  Tetris the original for Gameboy
Review created: 09/29/09

Hard to top the original with the theme song. Always been a fan of Tetris, only game I can play for hours and not get bored. Gameplay is simple make lines. I remember when I got my original gameboy had to go on just with Tetris for a while which then I got hooked ever since. My only dislikes with the game is the fact that high scores dont get saved but I got Tetris Plus also. I bought this to play on my Snes with the supergameboy adapter.

  Game Boy Tetris
Review created: 08/22/09
by:

Tetris is one of the best simple puzzle games in existence. With easy to use controls and quick game play it is the perfect game for anybody who wants to give their brain a workout but doesn't have a lot of time. To top it off, the music is some of the most addictive there is.
