As It Should Be: Tetris Splash @ xbox.com

The game may have gone through one too many name changes, but it appears the gameplay is just what the doctor ordered. Simple, back to basics, Tetris with up to 6-player multiplayer over Xbox Live. Local 4-player, as well. Tetris in its pure form. Finally.

And if you are wondering why in the world it would be called Splash -- it has "beautiful aquatic backscapes add a real splash to the fun of Tetris."

Three modes included: Tetris, T-spin, and Combo. Play solo, cooperatively, or competitively. Missing anything you wanted out of an XBLA Tetris?

Check out the video on xbox.com for the full experience.

Sounds a lot like the old Tengen NES version with more players, which is a good thing.

Do the $30 retail Tetries (or is that Tetri...Tetrisisy?) really offer anything more?

I think I'll pass.

I am a puzzle fan and paying $20 for used copies of Tetris for the PSP or DS don't seem worthwhile if I can get it for $10 on XBLA.

I understand people passing because it is another Tetris, but I have been pondering the retail version off and on for a while now so I will buy. Well, assuming they don't mess it up somehow. It is hard to mess up Tetris, but just in case I always play trials first.
