"Gameplay"
- Tetris creates challenge by making the player concentrate on the two opposite sides of the screen. As the player, you must keep an eye on the shape falling and where it could actually fit in to erase a row. You also have to keep track of the gaps in the rows below you to clear the stacks more efficiently.
Adapting to the speed at which the shapes fall from the top increases as the levels get harder. It is challenging and rewarding to achieve this transition between speed levels and keeps the game fresh. Where it could have been better would have been if they designed different backgrounds for the different levels of the game.
The multiplayer aspect makes the player improve faster because of the more personal competition between player and player. Playing just to improve the time or the top score is fun. On the other hand playing head to head with an opponent and keeping track of each other's score is more entertaining. It makes you feel cool.

"Summary"
- Tetris is a puzzle game in which figures fall from the top of the screen and the goal is to stack them correctly. This game is single-player only.
"gameplay
- Playing this game can become addicting because it is a great and fun game. Even though the game is very easy to play, it is hard to master. The game is interesting because even if you have played the game for more than a couple of times, it is still very fun and doesnt become repetitive. Something that would have added more fun to the game would have been having different backgrounds or phisical levels.
The game is fun because even though it is easy to understand and manipulate, it is hard to master. You have to be aware of the distance between the falling pieces and the row of pieces at the bottom. As well as the distance awareness, the player has to adapt to the increasing difficulties of the levels as the game progresses. And keeping track of what pieces that will come next.
I didn't play the Dr. Mario, this gamelog is only for the tetris portion. Tetris is a classic game and it is the fact that it is very simple and competing against other by keeping score is something that makes it much more entertaining. The multiplayer value is great in this game and adds for repetitive playing very enjoyable.

"Gameplay 2"
Wii Sports uses in a great way the functions of the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. The controllers are very sensitive and allow for very rich gameplay. I liked the precision with which you need the golf ball in terms of strength and angle. This is very innovative and I believe it is the funnest aspect of Wii sports. The crowd cheering for the player is also something that creates a better gameplay.
A design elements that make this game good are the cameras. The cameras are placed in good places. The camera allows a broad view, without having tiny characters. The angles are also good because they don't become blocked by objects in the levels during the game.The graphics are very simple but add a fun and a bright mood to the game. The characters and the environments are sketched out in a sloppy way but the levels are very bright and colorful, which attracts players of younger ages.
The game creates conflict by making the player control the characters by imitating real movements in sports. And conflict is created in the game by the challenge of defeating the AI or the other player. The game is fun because the rules are simple, yet mastering the movements of the controllers is something not so easy to accomplish.

"Summary"
Wii Sports is a game with five different playable sports: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. The actions of each playable sport are executed by imitating movements from the real life sport.
"Gameplay"
Wii sports is a very fun game, mainly because of the multiplayer aspect and the imitation of movements involved in the sports. The multiplayer mode creates a very rich experience because of the competitions. The fact that batting, pitching, boxing, and swinging the racket or the golf stick, involves making the actual movement absorbs the player into the game.
The graphics of Wii Sports are very plain, I believe that the creators could have done a bit better job on this part. Nevertheless, to some extent, the game allows customization of the characters this made me feel attached to the character because I wanted him to win and this also absorbed me when I was playing.
The game doesn't really have a story, and I would have liked it, or I would have found it more interesting if it did. I believe this could have added more excitement and realism to the gameplay. This game is great because its is directed to a broad audience due to its easy play.
