Tetris Party is Tetris crossed with other stuff

Filed under: Video, WiiWare
Tetris has had its udders suckled dry down the years, with innumerable spin-offs, follow-ups, and twists on the original formula all taking their turn on its now-withered teat. Tetris DS remains, for this blogger, the definitive Tetris experience, but the Balance Board-compatible Tetris Party is looking extremely promising on the evidence of these first videos.Developer Hudson seems to be drawing inspiration from other games to make dropping blocks feel fresh again -- "Shadow" mode (above) is essentially Tetris mixed with NEVES, while "Climb" mode (in the video after the break) is a bit like what would happen if Tetris got jiggy with Lemmings (or, as this is a Nintendo site, Mario vs. Donkey Kong). It works as well -- both of these modes look engaging and fun!It's worth mentioning that the game contains classic, vanilla Tetris, and there's a video of that after the break also. You know, in case you've never seen Tetris before. Which would just be odd.Gallery: Tetris Party
