Ever since Tetris became a hit, people have been trying for a "next tetris". From collums, to puyo pop, to puzzle leauge. They've overall all been good, but this is when it really gets good.
I ordered Meteos, hering critical aclaim for it. I was a little bit worried that I wouldn't like it. Man, was I wrong. This is the most original puzzler in ages!
The best way to sum up the greatness we call meteos is this. It is the Super Smash Bros. or puzzle games. You spend the story-modish star trip traveling through planets and fighting them, (I think). When you align three of the colored meteos, rockets ignight. You have to keep the meteos flying then so it can leave the atmosphere. When it leaves you can use it to attack the oponent. If Meteos stack to hight, bbbbbbbbbbbb'boom!!! A nova destroys your planet. In the hard points, this is an amazing concept, in multi you can easily have and empty screen and then 20 seconds late be hanging on for dear life!
And there is also the multiplayer! It is breathtakingly fun. Not much can be said but that it is probably oneo f the best parts of the game. It could have used more modes, though.
The graphics during gameplay are rather meh. I like 'em anyway though as each planet has different art styles on the meteos. During the intro graphics that can easily par or even best your average console game.
And the music. THe finely orchestrated music, western themes, techno, rock. The music is beautiful! Every planet has different music,too. In this game, you can find some awesome music!
Overview:
Gameplay:
once you get the hang of it, you'll be consuming hours!9/10
Graphics: Awesome in intro, average otherwise. 8.5/10
Sound: beautiful orchestras to heavy metal, awesome. 9.5/10
Lasting appeal:Playing this in 2015 is rather likely! 10/10
Full score (not an average)
9/10
Summary:
Could have used wi-fi, and more modes, but still, meteos is a DS best buy
