Introduction:
Not much to introduce really, it’s Tetris. It’s the first game I’ve ever played and that probably goes for most people. Unfortunately the WP7 version isn’t a very good version. For the first few games you’ll be frustrated as the game doesn’t respond very well to the tactile, especially if you’ve played the iphone/ipod touch version before. However, once you get used to it, you’ll find a thoroughly enjoyable game. It comes with the standard marathon version of the game as well as 12 variant games, all of which must be completed on the hardest difficulty. Some will find this really hard and some will find this really easy, it truly depends on how good you are at Tetris and how good you are at making decisions quickly. You can track how far along you are by selecting Highlights at the main menu then Feats. Helpful tip: to pause, press the back button; it took me a while to figure it out.
Step 1: Marathon
Play through the marathon game; it’s the original one that we all know. You have to get through to the end which means completing all fifteen levels. You can also start the marathon game at level 15 and clear 75 lines, which I find is quicker.
Step 2: Variants
You’ll need to complete every single variant on level 15. It may sound hard at first, but most of these variants are really easy once you get the hang of them. I’d suggest playing through them on an easy level for a while then playing through them again on level 15. Don’t get discouraged, I’m not a beast at Tetris and I managed to get these so you probably will too.
Step 3: Mop up
Last step is to get the last achievements. They’ll probably be Tetriminator, Spinmaster and Waterfall. See the achievement guide for any achievements that you have left.
