Tetris 2 brings a fun twist to classic Tetris gameplay! Instead of lines, you match colors to clear blocks, which throws in a cool puzzle element. While it can get frustrating, especially in later levels, the added challenge spices things up. The music is catchy too! Just be warned, if you're a Tetris purist, this one might not be your jam.

If Tetris was so good. Why isn't there a Tetris 2?

more like fr*aking dr mario 2

what the hell even was this game? I guess they tried to combine tetris with dr mario... It just makes it not good as a tetris game nor a dr. mario game. They just created some kind of frankenstein-ass hybrid between the two. There's also this weird mechanic where theres a glowing block near the bottom of the map that once broken, clears all the blocks of a certain color, which just kinda turns every level into "get to the bottom as quickly as you can" rather than the more spread out slow burn of dr mario. Plus using the tetris blocks as dr mario pieces is just cumbersome and weird, there's a reason dr mario had 2 block capsules and it wasn't just because of the doctor theming. It's definitely a weird highlight of the late NES library for sure, but if you are expecting more actual tetris, this ain't it


What the hell is this? Legitimately not a fun game on BOTH the NES and SNES.

I recall going with my family to the mall when I was little, and we ended up buying this along with Stunt Race FX.

I think it says a lot that I had to be reminded recently that this existed, despite the fact that I literally still own the cartridge for this thing. Even more insulting is that the single-digit frame rate FX chip racer I got along with this is more engaging in 2022, at least that thing has charm despite being barely playable anymore.

Tetris 2 is the epitome of bland, if it were food it'd be beans on toast. The change to the formula is not only unneeded, but also just a bizarre experiment of mixing Dr. Mario's easy as shit gameplay into the use of Russian falling blocks that are no longer Russian. I'm fully convinced this is one of the worst sequels ever made, like at least stuff like DMC2 has shit like "here's your crown". What the hell does this thing have? An unanimated dinosaur in a window?

A lying soulless piece of junk.

I no longer have patience for this kind of game.

I touched it for around 40 minutes and that was more than enough for me to form a solid opinion on the sequel of one of my favorite NES games, it's not as good. While I understand and sort of respect the attempt on not sticking with the same formula, this game failed to present to me the same amount of enjoyment I had with the original Tetris; not only being way too convoluted, adding much more layers of complexity than I'm comfortable dealing with (moreso on the highest speed), but also is just too different of the other games.
Like, I probably would get the hang of it if I had 1 extra hour or so, but I'm not interested. This games tries to deviate from a perfect game.

The way I see it, games like Tetris or Pac-Man don't need any modification on their formula, I'd be more than satisfied with simpler additions such as new music, new background and well, while this game provides these things, it does not provide a proper Tetris experience.

The star wars prequels of Tetris.

Tetris 2 might be the biggest downgrade for a sequel ever. It's Tetris! But also part Dr Mario. It's not good.

Most pointless game ever made I think. Why is it a tetris game? Why is it just a fart version of dr mario? We will never know.

Apparently the Japanese version of Tetris 2 is called Tetris Flash, which I think is a very cool name that doesn't carry the tremendous weight on its shoulders of being called Tetris 2.

It's fine.

Not a good sequel in any way. The bomb mechanic is dumb and adds nothing. It has nothing to really do with the original Tetris and leeches off of the name brand.

It's so weird that a sequel to what was an iconic title even 30 years ago is just a more concentrated version of Dr. Mario. It's okay, like there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it feels nowhere near satisfying as the original, or even Dr. Mario. It's just...there.

There's a numbered sequel to the most iconic game ever made produced by the most critically-revered studio of its era and it's just a shittier version of dr mario and somehow nobody talks about this

literally the only thing that even mildly amused me here is that one of the block shapes looks like a dick and balls

amazing how they managed to take dr. mario, which wasn't a particularly stellar puzzle game to begin with, strip it of any personality, and attempt to combine it even remotely with tetris to create a confusing, obnoxious and completely unrelated game with the 'tetris' title on it clearly so it would generate some profit.

tetris with pvp and a puzzle mode that I will never beat and I have accepted that fact

what if we made a sub-par dr. mario sequel and then slapped the tetris brand onto it

estuve 10 minutos para entenderlo y cuando lo entendi me aburri el 1 es mejor


Imagine Tetris, only bad and not really Tetris. That's Tetris 2. Glad I could help you inform your decision.
