Portable Review
Meteos has a simple plot. The deadly planet Meteo is launching a multitude of multicolored blocks (which are called Meteos as well) all over the universe, with the intention of destroying all of the planets. However, during an attack on one planet, the

Not many puzzle games bother with storylines, but Meteos is a little different. In fact, the game is bold enough to include an entertainingly epic introductory cut scene detailing a science fiction apocalypse. The planet Meteo spews forth a deadly rain

Now, while this may just be a simple puzzle game at least Bandai and Q Entertainment took the time to make the screens and menus look more than presentable. Some of the graphics are downright beautiful! Probably because they only last a few seconds at

The story goes that the evil planet Meteo is the point of origin of the colourful meteos, which have been bombarding all planets in their path and reducing them to rubble. When three meteos of the same colour happened to set off a curious chain reaction

Modojo
Not being able to select the correct Meteos in a pinch made me very frustrated, and frantically rubbing the touch screen to get myself out of jams cheapens the game's strategic element.

Frag Land
Each planet has its own specifications and certain elements, but also a different speed with which the meteos come down, how high they can be shot and specific colors for the blocks. One is more difficult than the other and then there's also the overall

You may be surprised to hear this, but there is a story and it goes like this. An evil planet, Meteo, has decided to destroy all nearby planets by shooting "phantasmagoric matter" (Meteos) at them, destroying all their life. The endangered planets do

Is it still one of the greatest games on the DS, and one of the best handheld puzzlers currently out? Absolutely. This game takes everything we love about puzzle games, tweaks it, and serves it to us on a silver platter.

Meteos features four main game modes: “Simple,” “Star Trip,” “Deluge,” and “Time War.” “Simple” is just that, as it’s a practice mode which allows you to play a match against up to three CPU opponents. “Star Trip” is essentially

When it’s all said and done, Meteos is by far the best puzzle game for the Nintendo DS platform.

The meteos of the title are the blocks that fall from the sky during play. Using the stylus, you arrange three or more meteos of the same color in a row or column causing an ignition. Ignitions send the meteos rocketing toward the top of the screen.

Netjak
Meteos stands head and shoulders above very nearly everything available for the DS right now. Only Internet play could have made this game better, and to be honest, I fully expect a Wifi-enabled sequel at some point.

Planet Gamecube
Q Entertainment's puzzle game for DS isn't really very puzzling at all. In fact, it's more of an action game, despite looking much like Puyo Pop, Tetris Attack, and numerous other puzzle games. The difference is that the gameplay in Meteos proceeds so

So what is Meteos and why should you care? Borrowing the basic Tetris formula of old, the action takes place within a genre standard rectangular play field where a series of genre standard multi-colored blocks will fall. As the screen begins to fill,

One of the more unique aspects of Meteos is its levels. Instead of playing with numerical levels, you play as one of 40 different planets. Each planet has its own unique size, gravity, and colors of meteos. This allows players to experiment with the
