You can see that there has been a lot of work put into Tetris. With it's beautiful menus, animations, and catchy music, this app is bound to amaze friends and family. Not only is it fun and eye-catching, but it is also addicting, and the controls are very intuitive.

I purchased this with high hopes since the reviews all sounded so positive. Unfortunately, the program crashes every time I try to start it. There should be more warnings regarding products that have issues loading, or crashing. If we are going to be beta testers, then don't charge for the application.

Game crashes on load 9 times out of 10. This was a complete waste of money.

It has 15 sorry levels. I beat the game the 4th time I played. This was the biggest waste of 10 bucks! I don't recomend anyone waste their money on this game unless maybe you've never played tetris before. It may be interesting for awhile but I'm sure you'll beat it in no time and then you'll be in the same position as me!

Being able to move pieces with your finger is so much better than the d-pad. Sold.

I've seen several apps now (incl this one) that for some reason or other completely ignore the silent switch. If I set my phone to silent, do these devs really think I still want to hear their game sounds just because it's SOOO awesome? -1 Star.

This game is way fun! But I never get to finish it. The game keeps crashing and sending me back to the IPhone home screen. EA needs to fix the game and release an update. If it keeps crashing, it won't be worth the $9.99 I paid for it.

This is an great game, near excellent quality. It initially loads a little slow to get the app started. I would have like a varied soundtrack to play to. The touch interface control method is solid and with the refined price it is well worth it. I think users need to realize that these are real game almost to the quality of computer games in some respects. My wife played Tetris habitually on her Samsung flip phone, yes it was $2 for the game but it didn't have a great interface like this high quality graphics or background music. This is the real deal and we will have to pay more for something of this quality. Well worth $9.99. I am evaluating this game as a purchaser of the product on the games own merit. I am not rating the price, the producer, or my personal opinion of puzzle games.

Hey, it's Tetris! And in good form. Only thing that irritates me is that you can't play your own music while you play the game. Other than that this is a good version. Controls well with touch gestures.

I'm a big Tetris fan and I was very happy to see how much fun the iPhone version was. But it takes way too long to load and has crashed on me half the times I've played it. It is still worth the $10 though, but you better believe I'll be checking for updates regularly.

The game crashes. The controls are sucky. I miss the old gameboy version.

Great game - great UI - but it crashes ALL THE TIME! Frustrating!

This is by far the best Tetris on ANY mobile platform, my favorite so far

This game is absolutely gorgeous. I thought tetris was only a so so game until I played it on the iPhone. Stunning graphics, intuitive touch interface, and way too addictive! There goes my productivity *sighs*

When I saw TETRIS for the iPhone, I had my doubts. There are many bad overpriced ports of great games in the store (I'm looking at you, SEGA!). However, this is not one of them. You can tell that EA spent much time on this game. The graphics are sharp and and beautiful, the music is pleasant, and though the controls are done surprisingly well. I'm not able to react as quickly as I can with a d-pad, but I'm still getting used to the controls. My only real complaint is the lack of game modes -there's only two. Nonetheless, if you love TETRIS, you really should buy this game!

app exits often due to performace. game need to be improved on peformance...

TETRIS is a great game but on App Store is a tad expensive. Also so far I have been unable to download it. I accidentally clicked buy before seeing the price and to make matters worse while the game is listed on App Store it is not set to come out till tomorrow (the day after the App Store launch -- same date as iPhone 3G launch Friday July 11th 2008) and thus am unable to download it. The version for the click wheel iPods was cheaper. Also when I click check for purchases it gives me an error message then also. Also EA Games please update the Royal Solitaire game for click wheel iPods to work with iPod Classic and Nano with video. Also if your able to make an iPhone/iPod Touch port of that game as well that would be great.

Installed it a few days ago on my new iPhone 3G and I still can't get it to work! It crashes when it gets to the menu screen so I paid for an app I have yet to play. Come on EA! This is a phone-- everyone has the same hardware and the same OS! I don't understand how they can charge money for an app that obviously has some major problems. My advice would be to wait for an update... don't pay for this beta app.

The game has crashed more times than I've been able to even play it.

I like playing Tetris by touching the screen, but the game crashes allot... really annoying!

LOVE the game!! So addicting!!! The music is pretty fun as well. I can't put the game down!!! My only gripe is I wish it was a little cheaper....

I don't know what these people are talking about all these crashes for mine has yet to crash once but hmmm here's an interesting thought maybee it's because I know how to follow directions when I've been told numerous times before by EVERYONE that you must RESTART your phone to allow games like these to run properly.

Has crashed every time I've tried to load it on my 3g. I'd like a patch or my money back!

As it crashes my clean, brand new phone every time it loads, it is difficult to rate it.

I am also in the boat of "does not work at all" -- simply put it crashes every single time it is loaded. I would like my money back or a fixed version.

There are 2 kinds of games for the iPhone. Those that use the touch screen in innovative and fun ways, and those that make use of touch features just for the sake of it in a gimmicky way. Unfortunately Tetris for iPhone falls in the latter category. I like Tetris as a game, but this specific version doesn't work well. The main problem are the controls: you need to make swiping motions to move falling pieces, which is time-consuming. Furthermore there are glitches such as when you swipe a piece down, if you move your finger slightly diagonally, it will also move the piece sideways and place it in a bad position that can make you lose the game. This prevents the game from being playable at the fast paced/high difficulty levels. The game overcomes this by starting out extremely slowly for the first 30 minutes; so slowly that it isn't fun at all, and then when the speed picks up it becomes unplayable. The fun in Tetris is all about speed and fast reflexes, and because of that I have to say that this version just isn't fun. It appear as though EA rushed this game out without spending the time to make sure that the game mechanics worked well. Avoid.

Ok, I have read through all the mixed reviews, but most of them wern't useful at all. I downloaded the game and I have not problems with it after I did these steps. First, to avoid crashing problems, RESTART the iPhone or iPod touch. You ALWAYS restart after you install an app, espically if the description tells you to which in this case, does. Second, after you restart, turn your volume to mute since the splash screen may be loud. Open Tetris up, then scroll down to options. Change the global volume here to a desired area. Also, (this is optional) you can upload some of the original Tetris songs onto your music library (if your the old school type person). You can start playing the song as you go into Tetris (it lets you play your music as you play). That's it! Have your enjoyable Tetris expirence!
