Let me say first off that my favorite Tetris games are the NES and Game Boy
versions. That being said, over the years IMO they have messed up the 
whole thing. The game, like so many other newer games, suffer from what I 
call the "up syndrome." That is when the game thinks you've pressed up when
you really didn't mean to and therefore directly falls into place even 
though you weren't ready for it to do so. I want them to badly put an option
to turn that feature off, but it seems like they never will. Anyway, that
feature can be frustrating at higher levels, when precise control is needed.
All I wanted this game for is the marathon mode, so I haven't yet checked
out the other modes but, it plays very much like Tetris DS instead of 
Tetris Party Deluxe, probably because Nintendo has the license to both 
Tetris DS and Axis. Right now you're probably thinking "What about the 3D?"
Well, it's not a 3D version of Tetris (Like "3D Tetris" for the Virtual 
Boy, although that would have been a cool mode to put in here.) and that
being said, the game doesn't really feature any mind-blowing 3D aspects.
But it is sort of fun, yet frustrating, and if I had a choice, I'd rather 
play the Game Boy version (which doesn't have the up syndrome), but that's 
just me. Rating: 7/10.
