The Incredible Maze has a Tetris Party on WiiWare

Let's not waste time with pleasantries, dear reader. It's Monday, there's WiiWare, this is it:

Tetris Party (Tetris Online, Inc., 1-6 players, 1,200 Wii Points) -- The list of "Types of Party Invitations We Would Decline" is surprisingly short. There's "murder party," "fat person key party," and "Tetris party." That doesn't necessarily mean, however, that we would decline a game based on the subject. Especially when, like this one, it looks really solid.

The Incredible Maze (Digital Leisure Inc., 1 player, 500 Wii Points): According to Nintendo, you navigate mazes in this game with the Wiimote or, if you prefer, the Balance Board. We say "according to Nintendo" because after looking at these actual, real screenshots, we refuse to believe this is being released for a console made in the last ten years.

While I love some good Tetris when I can get it, I was hoping that this week would be SBCG4AP Ep 3. Here's hoping it's next week then.

I was running a "Incredible Maze" game with better graphics on my PC --- in 2000!

And it was free, too.

The online element is great, but other than that, that's an awful lot of unnecessary stuffing to attempt to justify the price. The tetris company are ridiculous, there should be several tetris games on something like Wiiware now but the indie developers that would create them are deterred by the threat of this company.

Oh and they made the blocks slow down when you spin them. They enforce their licensees to include this feature. I think they have a right to the brand tetris, but I think the game itself is too general.

I'm still buying it.
