"In the 3D age, this took Tetris to the next logical stage. By matching shapes, you break into a sphere to (e.g.) rescue that which is trapped inside. Graphically, it sensibly wasn?t overcomplicated, further accompanied by superb music score. Highly addictive in single and multiplayer modes, as all puzzle games should be. Despite this, still parts of me feel that ?if it ain?t broke?"

Best original tetris game made. Best Nintendo 64 puzzle game. Great creativity and modes for its time. 9/10
"highly addictive", yet a 6/10? Oo
Seems pretty random.
I agree with the notion of it being addictive, so I'd easily give it an 8, if not more.
One of the first games I got for N64 - enjoyed the robot characters and it was quite compelling at times but it also had something lackluster about it that's hard to put your finger on.
Sad to see such negativity toward this one. I think it's pretty brilliant and have played it off and on for 14 years (nearly half my life!). The only other puzzle games to hold my attention like that are Chu Chu Rocket and Chip's Challenge.
Too much good things to say about this puzzler. Especially the music and atmosphere, one of my all time favourites. This needs a HD remaster.
"dull gameplay"? "Poor graphics"? "the worst version of Tetris"?
What is bizcuthammer on?
This is the best Tetris alongside Tetris Plus.
It's the mid-90s! Everything must be given a 3D Makeover! Even when it doesn't work and the game is better in 2D!
I've always been surprised they haven't revisited this concept. It would work well on 3DS.
so many people disliked this game but this was actually one of my favorite games on the n64. It had some of the best video game music at the time. I keep hoping it comes to virtual console but I doubt it.
I want a 3DS or WiiU port of this game. I miss it so much... yeah I know I could just go to the basement and play it on my N64.
...hmm, maybe I should tonight. Fun game!
I remember when this was a Jaguar exclusive and was gutted when it was (sensibly) switched to Nintendo's platform. You ain't never known gaming frustration like being a Jaguar supporter that generation...
I have been waiting 8 years for a VC release. There are so many people I've talked this game up to, but I'm afraid to hook my N64 up to the 50 inch HDTV.... First impressions and all.
This is tied with Tetris Attack as my favorite puzzle game of all time. Really unique and highly addictive. I'm not even a huge fan of puzzle games in general but this one really sucked me in. 9/10
