    So has anyone else tried out that new Tetris by EA on PSN? I ended up downloading it yesterday and playing for over an hour and a half. What sold me were the remixes of the original music which I haven't had in any Tetris I've bought since the original Gameboy Tetris. It's still "broken Tetris" but that's just something I realize I have to live with. 
     
    I tried all the different modes, some I can see revisiting and others like "treadmill" and "split" have a learning curve I'm not sure I feel like going through. But the online support and ranking level up system will probably keep me hooked for a long time. I just wish that "next piece" window was at the bottom of the screen instead of the top. I don't know about anyone else, but my eyes are on the bottom all the time. Also, getting to 4-player online battle mode, the windows get kind of squinty small even on a large TV. 
     
    The presentation looks very slick and I like the sound effects and the Playstation controller feels a lot better in the hands for extended periods of time than the DS so sufficient to say I'm hooked!

    i like it, the music is pritty sweet, and hey its tetris, i played hours and hours of it on game boy, and this is just easy to pick up n just zone out for a bit, however, with the variants, thier not bad but u can only really play one level at a time for some reason, unless im missing something. All in all i like it.

    I enjoyed it quite a bit for local stuff. My girlfriend and I just finished playing a couple hours of it and we still kind of wanted to do more (had to go to bed as classes start early haha)
     
    The only issue I had with it was that when doing, say, Timed Battle - I wasn't able to find a way to change the preferences of the game to make it 5 minutes long, 1 minute long, what kind of items to pick up, etc. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong; but I wasn't able to find it anywhere in there. So I guess the UI isn't the best I've ever seen, but the gameplay is totally fine and I do enjoy some of the new modes like Split and Laser. I'd recommend it to friends for sure, if they like Tetris at least.
