Meteos- DS Review

Meteos was released in 2005. I'm reviewing this now because I want everyone to know how good it is.

Puzzle games suit the DS perfectly. The touch screen enables you to control things perfectly. The dual screen can help the player see more.

Meteos uses this to it's advantage.

The story of Meteos isn't just an excuse to make sense of the puzzle system. Meteos' story works perfectly for the puzzle system.

The evil planet Meteo is shooting coloured blocks at the planet Geolyte.
The inhabitants of geolyte use their power to shot back the blocks by fusing the same colours together, creating a launching flame.

So the basic idea is to move block vertically in their columns to match them vertically or horizontally.
When they match it shoots them up above the other blocks. If it's strong enough, the block tower will shoot up into the planet you're attacking. If not, then you must match the blocks in the tower while it's coming down from the sky try and shoot it back up.

Sound confusing?
The truth is that anyone can master it in just minutes!

The controls on this game work great.
So to slide a block up or down a column, just put your stylus on the block and slide it to where you want it.

It's so simple!

There are 5 main modes.

Simple- Set your rules and play on game.(this just for quick plays.)

Star Trip- Defeat planet Meteo! Reach the end! ( this is the main story mode, it can take a while!)

Deluge- Play Until You Fail! ( this take a VERY long time, it's great for seeing how long you can go!)

Time War- Shoot for high scores in four rule sets! (see if you can last two to five minutes.)

Tutor- How to Play meteos.

There is also multiplayer ,Versus and so- on

The music in Meteos is epic! It kind of sounds like back to the future music sometimes!

ADDICTION ALERT!

This game will have playing all day and night. It NEVER GETS BORING!
