(Helps to be bored stupid at work to have this sort of perseverance ;-]) But,anyway, I have been hanging around fanbois for too long so the following quotes immediately come to mind: The game is awesome - it has the largest gamefield ever! If you haven't completed a layer you don't know anything about the game so STFU! Don't listen to the Trolls. The game has potential... The Devs know best... The other features will be added in the next patch (you know.. the 'miracle patch') and finally - the old time favourite: This is HARDCORE Tetris... if you don't like it go back to WoW, Carebear Well, with my usual Beta Tester determination I completed one full layer – took 31 minutes – and NO it was not worth the wait.

Same mistake, just glossier -- and it demonstrates how easy it is to make the mistake and even get it published as for-pay content. Pair it with the XBLA Missile Command remix.

I have to keep my volume muted here. I'm sure it would be a lot more fun with sound turned on. Getting to level 2 on that would really be an achievement though. Can anyone confirm that there IS a level 2? If so, get a life. Too bad I’m at work. I have to keep my volume muted here. I’m sure it would be a lot more fun with sound turned on.
