Tetris Ultimate Critic Reviews

Putting it simply, at the end of the day it’s Tetris — but that's just fine.

While it doesn't offer the zany game types or interesting visuals of Tetris DS, this is a better offering than Tetris Axis by far.

The excellent multiplayer integration and classic gameplay that just never gets old will be enjoyed by those looking for another Tetris fix.

The classic formula is here but this recent offer in the neverending saga is not enough to bring something new to the table.

For the 30th anniversary of the historical puzzle game, Ubisoft has chosen to produce a "hardcore" version of Tetris: at its core it is always the same, fantastic game, but some of the new modes and the highly competitive online play make for a version which is dedicated the most hardcore fans and "professional" players.

With not-so-exciting new game modes and lack of online gamers, Tetris Ultimate isn't the best Tetris experience ever. But its rich offline multiplayer support keeps it afloat.

Tetris Ultimate is a respectful entry for the classic franchise. Plenty of puzzle fun and options.

If you are a long standing fan of Tetris and would like it on your 3DS then you probably already have one of the other Tetris games. But this one will likely have a more vibrant online community, so it might just be worth the re-purchase, even if the single player game doesn't offer anything new.

The most experienced players will be delighted with this and its customization options and online modes are very welcome elements. Nevertheless, not all the new elements are to be praised and there’s an overall lack of innovation in a title that sticks to its job as an anniversary game and not much more.

It's very hard to recommend Tetris Ultimate when you can find better solutions on the eShop for a fraction of the price asked by Ubisoft last work. It's not a particularly brilliant rehash, either.

Quotation forthcoming.

Most likely developed during Ubisoft Montreal's coffe breaks, Tetris Ultimate is quite a bad game. With 4 pitiful game modes and a limited appeal, the games is a cheap ripoff of Tetris DS that came out in 2006. If you want to buy a Tetris game on a portable Nintendo system go for Tetris DS or Tetris 3DS.
