Letris 2: Word puzzle game 4+

When you want to get your mind off of something for awhile, play this game. You have to concentrate to play so you can’t think of anything else. I just started playing and am already hooked. Lots of fun. Give it a try!

The game concept is completely great, and the play is just exactly what it should be. Each level gets progressively harder, and the more you play the more adept you get at coming up with words with more letters, and hence you get a better score.

The problem is with the game’s insistence on making things harder for no reason. You’ll get 7 I’s in a row, for example, or nothing but consonants for 15 letters at a time. It would be much better if the letters falling were truly random, or as close to random as possible. In its current form the game is needlessly frustrating and hence close to stupid.

Which is too bad, because the concept and design are great.

This game is excellent for a healthy challenge. I find it best to play in the morning or afternoon for an energy boost; but playing at night keeps me awake past my bedtime. Concentration is surely needed. It’s a great way to keep the mind in shape. Day 1, Already hooked!
