You can say I was a casual puzzle gamer before Meteos was released. The only puzzle game I would play is Tetris, and then maybe some other stuff like Puyo Puyo and the like.
When Meteos came out I honestly did not think much about the game. I would hear at msg. boards that Lumines (sp?) was the superior puzzle game and that Meteos playability wore thin. I received this game for more birthday as I opened it 12:01 AM. 5:00AM later I was hooked. Meteos was almost like a revolution for me, like the Tetris affect that alot of people got hit with when Tetris came out long ago. So while the only 2 puzzle games I play are still Meteos and Tetris DS I consider myself a happy puzzle gamer.
The concept of Meteos is kind of unique I think. All movement is controlled by the stylus and you have to form a chain of 3 blocks vert or hori to blast of the meteos. What's really neat is that if you are doing well the tempo changes accordingly and if you are most likely about to get owned the tempo increases. I should note as well that the music, IMO, is top notch. My favorite level is probably Megadom when it comes to music.
What really extends the replayability is all the useless stats you get from the game (the producer of SSBM was director for this game, so you can see where that came from), like how many Meteos you have launched, how many hours you have playeed and etc. You can choose game modes such as the story mode and deluge mode to play with.
The only blemish from this appreciation thread is that while the Disney version of Meteos is coming for DS, the online version isn't. Whish suchs but I will probably get that for whatever platform it comes out in.
If you are thinking about buying a DS, this should probably be high on your list of games to buy. I would rank this as probably the best game of the DS if it weren't for NSMB and EBA/Ouendan.
So appreciate commence!
