Tetris DS comes with a single player portion complete with all the classic marathon modes and missions, along with some unique to the DS. Touch utilizes the (you guessed it) touch screen to move blocks left and right to clear lines. This does not feel like a gimmick and is quite interesting for those looking for a spin on the regular modes or from the original Tetris. Also, there is a puzzle mode in Tetris DS where you are limited to only a several tetriminos as you solve a puzzle. This also is very interesting, but it does get frustrating when you get to the higher and more difficult levels.
When playing the marathon modes in Tetris DS, the controls are easy to use and fit the form of your hand. It might take a while to get used to, but when you hae adjusted, you will enjoy the quick access to the various buttons. the D pad also allows you to move the blocks as fast as on the computer. It is sometimes inaccurate due to the wear and tear on the DS, but this only occurs occassionally.
If you are looking for the same experience, Tetris DS provides this along with new modes that challenge your brain.
