Love this game!

I had to laugh when I read the above editorial review of Tetris because it's as if the reviewer took words from my mouth. I must be one of the few people who didn't know of the game's existence until this past Christmas 2003 when my sister got me this pocket version, and it has seriously consumed hours of my life. For the first few weeks of playing it, I would also see the shapes in my head all the time when I was trying to sleep or work or whatever. It's crazy how this thing can take over.
Anyhow, it's lots of fun, and though I thought I'd never improve, I have gotten much better since those first few days. I seem to have plateaued at this point however.

Broke after about 8 hours of play

I loved this game, until it stopped working after about 8 hours of playing with it. It wasn't the batteries! It was the game.

Pocket Tetris is Great for Adults Too!

I received my Tetris Game as a stocking stuffer from my daughter Christmas 2003 and have been playing with it in my spare time mostly every day since then because it works so well.

The ergonomically pleasing, rounded shape allows one to hold it in one's hand, or hands, easily, comfortably. After a while I learned to play it with just one hand -- one thumb, as it were. Comfortable in one's pocket, no chance of corners tearing clothing.
"Pocket Tetris" continues to be challenging because one can score on it into high numbers but it finally "gets you." You're scoring against your own personal best.
Technically, it responds to one's action, speed downward, rotate shape, shift columns, instantly -- no delay. Hence, the game is "fair" because it operates as quickly as one can think. Because the face is small, each individual square, one's eyes can take in the who screen very easily.

It has three versions built in, and it has a nice pause feature that allows one to put it down for an indefinite period of time until resuming the same score, condition, as when one paused.

An all-time best!

Awsome toy, addictive game!

My left arm's paralyzed due to a massive brain aneurysm, and this game's perfect for one handed use, I find it beneficial in thumb/eye coordination and highly recommend it for anyone. Radica has done an exceptional job in pocket Tetris' making. I've had the game for about three (3) years and have played it hard for that time, it's just now starting to show wear. Great gift or anything, at an affordable price. I gave it 4 stars for everything it asked because, nothing is absolute.

Tetris Failure

My wife and I love this game. We own an older version of the same, and it is able to IR link with annother to play head to head. However, the geniuses who designed the game ran one of the circuits directly under the pivot for the directional control, thereby DESIGNING it to fail. Ours has worn through the circuit plating, and just bit hard. If they can re-design it, I will buy at least six, so my friends can all play, too.

A fair warning to anyone contemplating the purchase of this handheld version of the video game classic: don't plan on having a life for a while. Tetris is less something you play than something you are consumed by. The concept of the game is simple: a series of shapes fall slowly down the screen and you must move them around and make them fit into horizontal rows before they hit the bottom. If you complete a row, it disappears. If you leave gaps, you will have less space to stack the ever-descending shapes. So you never really win the game, you just sort of delay losing. Nonetheless, it's almost impossible, once you start playing Tetris to actually stop. This handheld set is ready to play with batteries included, an on/off option for the bleepy video game music, and the ability to imprint cascading geometric patterns directly on your cerebral cortex for months to come (at least that's what it feels like sometimes). But that's not to say the game isn't fun--it is--and a handheld version is the ideal distraction for young or old on long trips. --Charlie Williams
