Meteos Critic Reviews
Meteos is a good enough reason to purchase a DS if you're a true puzzle fan. This is without a doubt one of the best puzzle games and will certainly be my pick for best puzzle game of 2005....read the complete Meteos review at Cheat Code Central
Now with Tetris, Puyo Pop, Bust-A-Move and the thousands of variations of each, it's extremely hard for someone to claim a new puzzle title to be "original" and "unique". This is not the case for Meteos. With the help of the DS hardware, Meteos provides...read the complete Meteos review at Games are Fun
It uses the touch screen to great affect and is a terrific demonstration of what Nintendo’s new handheld is all about....read the complete Meteos review at GameShark

Put simply, Meteos is solid game and is worth every dime and second spend overing over the system's dual screens....read the complete Meteos review at eToychest
"It's a bit like Tetris". Then again, almost all puzzle games out there are. Meteos is a puzzle game almost like no other. In Meteos, meteors (called Meteo) fall down from the top of the screen. It would probably seem logical that you control these...read the complete Meteos review at DS-x2
I cannot stress strongly enough just how much fun and how addicting this game is....read the complete Meteos review at GamingTrend
Though it doesn’t quite match the intricate strategies of Lumines, it isn’t supposed to. Meteos manages to be interesting and engaging without feeling like just another Tetris clone. Not bad for a new drug....read the complete Meteos review at Game Revolution
Whoever referenced Tetris Attack is at least partially correct… partially. Like Attack, in Meteos, you’re moving blocks, after they have come to rest, to line them up horizontally or vertically with other blocks – but that’s where the...read the complete Meteos review at Gamerz-Edge
One of the best puzzle titles on any Nintendo platform in years....read the complete Meteos review at Nintendojo
Although screenshots make Meteos look like a standard color block puzzle game, the game plays in a very unique fashion. Colored blocks fall from the top of the screen to form a mess on the bottom. You can use your stylus to move a particular block up and...read the complete Meteos review at Lawrence
It all begins with the story, the foundation upon which many puzzle games have been unsuccessful in intertwining with the purpose of the game. In Meteos, however, the story adds incredible depth and life to the game that gets you interested in the game...read the complete Meteos review at DS Advanced
Aesthetically speaking Meteos bucks the somewhat growing trend of puzzle games being as simple as possible, indeed it doesn’t push the system but is very clean, crisp and vibrant. What could so easily have been the exact same coloured blocks within...read the complete Meteos review at Cubed3
Meteos is packed full with more modes and options you could ever wish for. Combined with a ton of unlockables and a 4 player versus mode you’ll be playing this for months. 9.0...read the complete Meteos review at PALGN

Quick-paced and action-packed.
Tons of unlockables.
Slick design and presentation.
"Scribbling" can be effective.
Short rounds may turn off some.
Finally, a must-have title for the DS.
From Q Entertainment, the same studio that...read the complete Meteos review at Team Fremont
cat inexplicably no longer annoys you and now refuses to budge, the phone no longer rings and your girlfriend is a distant memory. Looking down at the power indicator, the once green beam of light has been replaced by one of a flashing red - just like the...read the complete Meteos review at AceGamez
Different coloured blocks (Meteos) drop on to the touch screen. When they pile up into columns, the blocks can be moved up and down the columns with the stylus – no sideways movements are allowed. To stop the screen filling up, arrange the colours...read the complete Meteos review at NTSC uk
as a fundamental flaw.It is a fundamental flaw. It's also, in our view, nowhere near as significant as has been made out - or even at all, for those of us playing the game as intended. It simply doesn't solve all your problems in the way that's been sugge...read the complete Meteos review at Eurogamer
Tetris Attack was a first for me. It was the first time I became enamored with a Tetris game. It was also the first time I could beat my sister at a puzzle game. (Women may not make up the bulk of gaming purchases, but get them addicted to a puzzler and...read the complete Meteos review at GameZone
Outside of being a great showcase for the DS itself, Meteos is also a fantastic, dizzyingly fast puzzle game that leaves an addictive aftertaste not seen since the likes of "Tetris...read the complete Meteos review at 1UP
When you make such a line, they sprout rocket thrusters and start flying back up the screen, carrying along any other blocks that happen to be in their path. If they reach the top, they vanish. If you let the blocks pile up too high, it's game over....read the complete Meteos review at Yahoo! Games
It’s the kind of game that will get inside your brain, and several hours of playing will see you splicing together tactics that you would never have thought possible on your first few goes....read the complete Meteos review at Jolt Online Gaming UK
At this point, you'd be forgiven for thinking "Hang on a minute, I don't like the sound of that!", but wait, because I've got another analogy for you. The first time you drank alcohol I'm willing to bet that you probably didn't like it very much, unless...read the complete Meteos review at Pro-G
In Meteos, the multicolored blocks are meteors that have been raining down and destroying planets across the universe. The evil planet Meteo was emitting matter in an endless stream, and these meteos were crushing all the planets that they came into...read the complete Meteos review at GotNext
Planets have a huge factor on the way the game will play. Each planet has its own type of music, blocks and gravity. The fire planet Firim has blocks that glitter like liquid and very strong gravity that will make pushing blocks back into space harder...read the complete Meteos review at N-Europe
The DS isn’t lacking when it comes to puzzle games but if you were disappointed with the puzzling of Mr. Driller Drill Spirits or Yoshi Touch & Go, Meteos firmly supplants both as the premier puzzle game available on the DS....read the complete Meteos review at Armchair Empire
Considering that...read the complete Meteos review at GameSpy
Lumines was heralded by many to be one of the best puzzle titles to come out in the last few years, so a lot of people kept Meteos on watch since it was developed by the same team: Q Entertainment. Lumines was about hypnotizing rhythm and a more laid...read the complete Meteos review at GamersMark
Tetris proved a system's worth with the original Game Boy edition, creating one of the finest pick-up-and-play designs of our generation. And with all the attempts to produce "the next Tetris" it's a trend that's apparently not coming to an end anytime...read the complete Meteos review at IGN
It seems many have also likened Meteos to the yin that matches Lumines' yang, and it's easy to see why. Where Lumines is smooth and calm, Meteos is fast and hectic. While a Lumines session can last hours and hours, Meteos sessions generally last only a...read the complete Meteos review at Digital Entertainment News
The addictive gameplay is good enough to play for a quick five-minute round or a gaming session that can last for hours. Once the player becomes adjusted to using the stylus, the addictive qualities will shine through, especially when there are so many...read the complete Meteos review at My Gamer
