It has a rating of 52/100 at Metacritic.[1] Many criticised it for its lack of innovation, limited game modes and high price. GameSpot gave the game a 6.6/10 saying "The single-player and multiplayer options are solid yet predictable, and the game's got all the personality of a screensaver. If 22 years of Tetris have left you tired of the formula, Tetris Evolution will do very little to reignite your passion for this classic Russian mind-bender.[2]
