Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This game is very hard to describe when trying to make it sound as good as it is. Many people might say it's Tetris like, which it is to a SMALL extent, but it's far more. The basics of the game is trying to line up 3 falling blocks of the same color---when you do, they fly up into the sky and blast enemies. There is a little bit of a story line, but mainly, you are just trying to line up those blocks! The fun comes in that there are many different playing field to do this with, and each is a little different---different gravity, different strategies that work best, different kinds of blocks. And wildly different music---I am not someone that usually is that into music in video games, but this music is GREAT---it ranges from a country twang to a outer space sound to almost classical, and it really gets you into a groove. The other cool thing is that any block you manage to shoot into space gets added to your store of blocks, which you use to unlock more planets, and to unlock special kinds of blocks that do things like clear the board. You can play multi-player against the computer, but I so longed to try this in real multi-player mode I actually broke down and bought a second DS. I think I'm going to buy a second copy of the game, too, so I can use all the multi-player options (with one copy, you can play a limited version two player) This is the kind of game that makes you want to keep playing just a little more, to try to get a new planet, to try to make a new goal, just to see what the next area sounds and looks like...a TERRIFIC game!

In Meteos you're the last line of defense, in a bad case of planetary overload. As blocks drop down on the lower screen, you must use the DS's stylus to match up blocks of the same color. Once you have enough blocks connected, they'll shoot back up into the sky to form planets on the upper screen.
