Well most of my experience is with Meteos Disney. The blocks in that one are far worse than the blocks in the original. However, the blocks in PPL are way better than both. Maybe it's just what I'm used to with Tetris Attack, but it is just much easier on my eyes. I don't think you can argue about Meteos Disney, though (and yes, I realize I didn't specify that in my original post(s)). The blocks are atrocious in that one.
Anyway, about PPL, I still think this game is terrific. I almost broke 7000 on score attack mode, but settled for 6952. I saw on youtube a guy get 58,000, so I know I still suck, but I'm having a lot of fun regardless.
