The online mode for this game is laughable. It lags, people cheat by disconnecting, and the game play is extremely slow. If you play the online multiplayer mode, you have to wait 90 seconds for the opposing players to hit start before you start playing. If another player joins, you have to wait 90 seconds again. Ultimately, you could wait over 7 minutes to start a game if five people join. Absolutely ridiculous.
Also, the game is exactly the same as the WiiWare version you can download on your Wii for $10. Hudson Soft did absolutely nothing to fix the online gameplay problems for their previous try on WiiWare. I will never purchase another product from Hudson Soft again!
It is honestly the worst version of Tetris that has ever been launched, and I have owned them all.
Save your $30 and don't buy this game.
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: It's slow, there's a lag in the online mode, people are allowed to cheat (disconnect) so ratings don't drop

I really didn't know what to expect when I got this, but I am not too thrilled with it. It is extremely difficult to figure out, and the game lends no direction help wise. Typically, most games like this will have a some sort of tutorial or help feature to get you going, this does not.
The graphics are pretty good and the levels are pretty interesting and can be funny. I wouldn't pay 450 for this game, but whent he price drops to $30ish, it may be worth picking up.
