Ultimate Block Party

Honestly I can't say much 4 a game that has a theme that's been done so many times before & yet still neglects 2 provide any real variation. The only variation is in the characters which are not all that much different other than thier color & that doesn't score too many points in my book. I think this genre has hit a creative wall. If you are planning on buying this title, makes sure you buy it USED so you don't feel like such a waste.

This is a great Tetris-style puzzle game 4 the PSP!!! Hours of very fun,challenging gameplay,suitable 4 all ages!!! If you like Tetris,Columns,or Klax,you'll love this game!!! Lots of great options & solid challenging gameplay makes this a winner!!! Two thumbs up!!! Way up!!! Five stars!!! A+

I loved playing my PSP, but hated that all the games in my collection take a long time 2 play. I really wanted something that I could play even if I only had five minutes, like Tetris. That's when I stumbled upon this game, which IMO is even better than Tetris -- I'm SO glad I bought it! My favorite feature is that the game actually begins with blocks 2 shift, compared with Tetris where I always had 2 make challenges 4 myself on the first few levels so I wouldn't get bored. I know it's already been said but it deserves 2 be said again: If you like Tetris, or games like Columns & Blockout 4 the old Sega Genesis -- This is a game 4 you. I've only owned it a few weeks & I've already played it more than any other game I own!

If you like Tetris, you'll like this game. If you like Lumines, you'll like this game. There are different modes 2 play--single, practice attacks, against the CPU, arcade, etc. It loads fast & there isn't any lag time at all 2 start another game. The only thing I don't particularly care 4 is that the characters are more geared towards kids, IMO, unlike Lumines where the look & feel appeals more 2 adults (I'm 39) but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the action of the game & I love playing this game. I think it moves faster than Lumines & that's one of the things I like about it (I can spend an hour & a half playing Lumines before one game ends--I've played the arcade mode 4 a half hour with 2 continues--more challenging, IMO). One other "minor" complaint, navagating around the menus is a bit challenging. Most Playstation & PSP games make use of the same buttons 2 move from menu 2 menu--this game deviates from that a bit & it takes a little getting used to.

What I don't understand is why it's not readily available in stores. Best Buy only offers it online. Circuit City doesn't even have it listed. I was able 2 buy it at Gamestop, although not all locations carry it.

Like Tetris & Lumines, this game is highly addictive--a must have 4 fans of Tetris & Lumines.

Get ready 2 party! Match & twist colored blocks 2 clear the playfield as quick as you can it sounds simple, but blocks change sizes, are sometimes hidden or worse! Youll needfancy footwork & a fast thumb keep up or get kicked out. Instant Action! Endless Challenge! Infinite Fun! Experience the first Tetris-like puzzle game 4 the PSP & join the party!
