But that's not a slight against EA perse, but just the platform in general. arn @mike well, this version seems fast enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF6o9Vgo4qc :)

If you want to argue that you're unwilling to pay $10 for a Tetris game, do it elsewhere. I'm talking general gameplay, graphics, etc... Which in my opinion EA did a better job. Tris was obviously better bang for the buck (as it was free), but I'd still rather play the EA version. @arn: As the comment above yours shows, yep, people only seem to care about the price, which is really unfortunate. Honestly, is any implementation of Tetris perfect? It's eventually going to get too fast for people to respond and have control. Unfortunately the EA implementation causes that to occur sooner than directional keys and rotate button. @mavis: I'm not talking about the price.

The Tris opinion scale is skewed because it's free, but I thought Tris was just ok. But EA's Tetris implementation is not the best for the faster levels due to limitations of the control system. It works, but I don't think "perfect", "excellent", or "awesome" really fit. arn @Mike I'd say "reasonable" is the perfect word.

In my opinion, calling any $9.99 implementation of Tetris on a phone 'reasonable' is being FAR too generous. @Mike: What are you talking about?!

Uhh, and what was Tris? EA's was definitely more polished and played very well. I'm not sure if you were downplaying EA's game or not, but it definitely sounds like it.
