Attention span: 9/10 It's Tetris! Who can say no?
Controls: 10/10 Lets you jump right in.
Implementation: 8/10 No 2p mode but great otherwise.
Overall: 9/10 One word - Sweet.
Tetris. This name almost always guarantees a game success. But there are so many of them, you say? What to do? Throw in some super nifty features to make your program stand out.
Queue does just this. It throws in a shadow showing where your piece will hit (don't worry purists, it can be turned off), statistics for all the pieces that come down, your next three pieces to come, how many times you laid a certain number of lines, etc. etc.
Of course, who wants to play just Tetris? The real icing on the cake is the Quadra mode. This throws the element of gravity into the mix, meaning pieces will fall until they land on something, even after you've placed them. This can make more lines, dropping more pieces, causing a chain reaction. Definitely cool.
The only drawback to Queue is a lack of a two player mode. I would love to build up a massive combo and completely bury my opponent. If it had a two player mode it would have a higher score.
I see need for only two tetris clones: ZTetris with its two player mode and Queue with the chain reaction inducing gravity system. If Queue had a two player mode, then ZTetris would not be needed - this game is THAT good. |

Game play - 10/10
Speed - 10/10
Graphics - 9.5/10
------------------------
I love this game!! “Queue” is an addicting game pack that includes a “Tetris-like” game called “Quadra,” which is “Tetris” with gravity, and “Tetris.” The game is very user-friendly and the interface is simple. In “Quadra” mode, you can make chain reactions when bricks drop. My best chain reaction seven (I can't seem to get more :-( ). The playing is surprisingly big, which makes it an easy game (I like easy games). If you don't already have this on your calculator, you should get it now! |
