Arguably the most popular game ever is about to hit the handset near you. In case you’re wondering, I’m talking about Tetris.
The new mobile Tetris will be a multiplayer game, allowing players to compete with one another “over the air,” regardless of their locations, using their mobile carrier’s network.
Multiplayer gaming on a title like Tetris is simple, thanks to the EA Mobile’s proprietary platform. Players can choose to play against friends or let the system select a worthy opponent. Dueling pairs can block one another’s efforts to clear lines and play on one of two multiplayer modes – “Ultra” allows gamers to race each other on a two-minute clock and “Forty Line” challenges them to clear 40 lines before their opponent.
