Meteos Review

Similar to Tetris Attack though not quite as good + 80%

Combining physics with a block puzzle game is interesting and works well +10%

Eats vast swathes of your time if you let it -3%

Mentally rearranging items whenever you see them arranged in grids (eg. eurostar menus, telephone buttons, windows on tower blocks), essentially hallucinating, is not a great feeling -5%

Very hard to play on London’s less than smooth public transport network. -2%

Summary : 80%. Tetris Attack > Meteos > Zoo Keeper DS.

Still, it’s probably my favourite DS game apart from Ouendan, though I hope that Mario Kart DS* and Advance Wars DS will change that.

*Please mr Nintendo, don’t make it too powerup based, and too much moving scenery is just gimicky.
