What the reviews talk about
What the critics said
GamePro said of the Nintendo 64 version, "For older Disney and Tetris addicts, Magical Tetris Challenge is a blessing in disguise. Ironically, the merciless computer player will frustrate younger kids. Curious gamers, however, will be satisfied with a quick weekend rental."
