DESCRIPTION

This special release adds Xbox Live online support to THQ's original Tetris Worlds. Players can now challenge one another, from across town or across the nation, in six variations of the action puzzle game. In addition to the program's classic version of the game, "Square Tetris" give players bonuses for building and clearing four-by-four squares, and "Hot-Line Tetris" awards extra points for clearing certain horizontal lines, which are noted by a bar of color. The "Cascade Tetris" variant allows squares from placed shapes to separate and fall individually when lines are cleared, while "Sticky Tetris" causes such leftover individual blocks to meld together by color and disappear when the aggregate grows large enough. Finally, "Fusion Tetris" adds single-square pieces called "Atom Blocks," which must be connected to the single-square "Fusion Block" that is buried in the "garbage" pieces and spaces on the board at the beginning of the stage. ~ T.J.
