Editor's review
If you have ever used the earlier models of Nintendo gaming consoles or other similar ones, then you must be aware of the immense popularity enjoyed by the game Tetris. It is basically a puzzle game which involves arranging the pieces appearing in front of you in a proper order, which, needless to say, is not as simple as it may sound to a newbie. In order to exploit the popularity and fun factor of the game, a number of modern versions have been developed with minor to large modifications in the rules of the game and its interface. Color Cubes is a remake of the old Tetris game which offers enhanced entertainment to the fans of classic Tetris.
Color Cubes v.3.2 is a freeware package containing the old Tetris game in three new forms. All the modifications in the game have been intelligently designed in order to let the player enjoy the interesting add-ons that it offers. All the games have been equipped with a nice interface, showing a beautiful scenic background and the cubes in the rectangular puzzle grid have been attractively designed with a 3D layout. Among its set of three games, the first one is the same old Tetris based on the conventional gameplay rules but the user will certainly like the all new interface it has got to offer. The other two are color blocks and rotated color blocks where the player gets columns of color blocks and he has to arrange the similar blocks in a vertical, diagonal or horizontal manner in order to make them vanish off from the board. With a minimal requirement of 233Mhz processor and 32 MB RAM, the game is compatible with even the cheapest (or most outdated) computers and laptops.
Color Cubes v.3.2 is overall, the ‘hard to resist’ game for the fans of Tetris game, and hence it scores a rating of three and a half on the scale of five.
The exit menu takes you, EVERY DANGED TIME, to the homepage of the company that produced it. Just in case, you know, you want to buy something. This annoying little sales prompt spoils what otherwise be a relatively nice gaming experience. Docked two stars for sellers` greed.
