anyway, stop whinging. Some people never had goldeneye, y'know.
OK, this is the last time I'm making this speech cos I'm getting bloody sick of it -
IT's not about the lines!Any idiot can sit there whacking away lines.
Score is what it's all about! See, every time you clear ten lines the game bumps you up a level. If you start on level 9 like myself, you have to rack up 100 lines before you move up to level ten. However, by the time you reach level 14 or thereabouts, it just become unplayable, so the aim is to get as high as score as possible before you reach the stupidly fast levels. To get those uber-scores, you need to be efficient with your line clearing, since the score for singles, doubles, tripples and a Tetris increases in steps - a four liner (ie a Tetris) is worth ten times as much a single. Thus, by clearing four lines as often as possible, you score big whilst keeping your lines count to a minimum, thus you won't get leveled up for ages, thus you have more time to score before it gets too fast and bricks up.
OK, so you tend to brick up a lot when you line up a pair of Tetris but the game flat refuses to give you a stick to finish them off, but you can get some dirty great scores if you persevere. For the record, my best is 251000
And exactly
why did you never have GoldenEye?
Shame about Rare, eh, Nintendo fans? Oh well, their loss - they gotta work with the big black and green monstrosity that is the Bill Box. Goes to prove that anyone will betray their principles if enough cash is thrown at them...
