Addictive, enjoyable, gets you off your lazy bum and think a bit. A leaderboard is nice as well.

It's really nothing more special than a Tetris in disguise...
Review:

The idea of the game is Tetris on a train, and you collect and drop pieces into place to fill up the cargo bay, revealing a nice picture as you go along.

There's nothing wrong with the game, it's fun to play when you want to relax for a bit. It's just not very original - but then again, that's all too common in the world of cheesy games.

The graphics were nice, but I felt a bit more could have been done to make it all the more appealing and worth the money. The gameplay itself was good, but a little less challenging than Tetris because you can put your blocks wherever you want (in Tetris you have to have openings for it to enter through) which means you can have enclosed spaces and not worry about them too much. Personally I preferred it when there was a bit more skill involved.

The options didn't let me switch screen resolution, so I had to go out of fullscreen.

The idea of giving you photos when you complete the level was nice for about 2 seconds, after which they zoom off again. It would have been nice if there was an option to let you keep the photos when you see them. The idea of new picures is good too, which means you don't get bored of the same images popping up.

Conclusion:

A nice new version of Tetris that is fun to play and enjoyable, and the leaderboard means you've never quite finished the game till you're number 1.
