Tetris Worlds Just Doesn't Get It

So I'm always on the lookout for "action puzzle" games for my Aunt and Mom... Tetris-derivatives, Tetris Attack stuff, etc... especially ones with decent head to head modes.

 

She recently got a PS2 and I found Tetris Worlds. MAN DOES ITS MULTIPLAYER MODES SUCK. Because... they're all time trial. 2 minutes play, ok stop, how did every one do? Sucks! yeah you can send garbage but who cares, it hardly ever gets up that high that it matters

 

 

I guess I gotta try to dig up another copy of Next Tetris... luckily at the same time I bought her Lumines, which actually is pretty nice, and slick as hell, it's like the Wipeout 2099 of puzzle games.

I have Tetris Worlds for the GBA. And I really love the sticky mode. I wish they had kept that for Tetris DS...

I agree that Tetris Worlds sucks, same reason you mentioned. There needs to be an unlimited mode

tetris plus for the playstation is pretty good.

It's just like the arcade version.

Yeah, it's so weird, such a fundamental lossage of the idea of what competitive Tetris should be.

 

I mean, "Next Tetris" had the idea of clearing, rather than just avoiding being pushed to the top, so there's more than one way of making a decent head to head game, but time attacks are just pointless, unsatisfying, and generally less open to alternate strategies.

I still maintain that "The New Tetris" for the N64 is the best of the multiplayer Tetris games out there. Only ever seen the one copy and I'm SO glad I snagged it.
