But it's been remade and revamped so many times it's just getting boring now unless you're playing a real version of the game (rather than flash remakes).
First of all - where is the 'next piece' feature? Every good Tetris remake needs that, and it's left out far too often.
Second, do something with the graphics man. Just because you've taken the actionscript to make a Tetris game doesn't mean you just colour in the blocks and put in a black background! Spice things up a bit, but not so much the player can't see what they're doing.
On the note of graphics, the very left row is half out of sight - not cool, fix that up.
In terms of sound, it was very average. You couldn't turn the sound off/on, just on, and it would just play over itself again and again if you clicked the speaker more than once. Fix that up, too.
Some sound effects wouldn't hurt, either.
Gameplay was pretty good, and level 8 fucked me up and I died at around 108,000 I think.
Overall, Tetris has been remade so many times that every time a version is submitted which isn't perfect, it just seems very very bad. Keep at it, you may produce something good.

thank you for your critism and not just saying this flash sucks ass. the next peice feature is impossible, because my code randomizes each brick right before its dropped.Some one please tell me how i improve graphics in tetris! It's tetris, not final fantasy! About the row being, half in, half out i have no idea why its doing that and i have tried to fix it.why did you click the speaker more than once?im working on the sound now, as you may or may not know, this is my second flash. and if uve tried flash u know how hard it is

but I got me my damn Dirty Frenchman 2!!! YESSS, heheh. I remember first seeing the initial submission when it first came out, laughed my ass off. This one had the same great humor, but for me I just expected it to be a little more outrageous - it had somewhat of a plot which was quite amazing, but that sort of limited the sort of crazy shit he was able to do.
That being said, it's still really good. The graphics have improved since last time, the animation especially, and the voice acting seems a lot better (from memory).
It was also good to see that this one was way longer than the first, though some more music would have been good in there (using the same 'theme song' as last time? Why? hahah).
Anyways, it was great to get another dose of The Dirty Frenchman. Will there be another coming out eventually?
Author's Response:
Thanks alot. I tried to keep down the outrageousness in this one to make it a little more mainstream, but apparently (according to the current score at least) I was better off with crazy rape jokes.
There will be another episode, and most likely sooner than last time, although it will probably be shorter. I hope to have another one out in 2006.

Man, definately one of the most original ideas for a toon I've seen in a long while! I loved it! As a big fan of Pulp Fiction, I think the sound clips you chose to animate are extremely good, and I'm hoping this was just the intro to many episodes! The graphics were clean, the animation could use a bit more work (since you only have to focus on the graphics, put more effort into movements, expressions, etc, it'll make everything a whole lot better), and try to up the sound quality as much as possible.
I'm not sure how you're going about getting the sound files, but certainly don't use soundboards, they're already optimized and sound like shit as it is.
Keep it up man, this was awesome!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the great review. I'll take some of your suggestions into consideration. And I may make more of these, but with different movies. As for the sounds, I get them at various sound file websites. You just type in a movie or tv show into Google and then type wavs.

Nice little birthday flash... do you feel like making me one in July? hehe. Hmm, how to describe the mood of the movie... I'd say "^_^" sums it up pretty well. Colourful movie with a nice song. Short and sweet, I enjoyed it.
Author's Response:
Speaking of short and sweet, so is your review! :O OMG, what a shock.
And I might do one for you :P We never talk anymore so I probably won't, but you never know.

At first I was thinking this must be for a school project or something as it's very informative. But you made it funny, which is the main reason why I kept watching. None of this politically correct bull, you said it how it is. Very enjoyable to sit through, even though it was a bit long.
It had a lot of content, and you didn't blow too much out of proportion.
Things to work on:
AUDIO! - haha, as you know the audio quality is quite low, most probably due to the desire to keep the filesize down... well, I think this suffered overall due to the sloppy audio. A filesize of around 3,000kb is still acceptable.
ANIMATION - There wasn't a lot in this, and it showed. Although the movie was backboned by the audio, some more complex animation would have made it a lot better. However I realise this was your first flash, so you did well not to screw anything up too bad :D
Overall, very funny, very informative, and very original. You should make a series, doing all the different continents (well, the ones that matter anyway :P)!
Author's Response:
Yeah, when did being P.C. kill the world's sense of humour?
And nah, it wasn't for school or anything.
Thanks for the review, and we'll be sure to make those changes for "A Short History of America".

Was this lady actually on TV?? Saying all that shit on a TV show? ROFL!!! That's one golden find, then, my man XD haha.
Considering how many sounds you were able to fit on this soundboard, I'm suprised that the filesize was only 345kb! I mean, the sound quality was pretty good, and you had two whole pages of sounds :O That's some nice work! Haha. Pretty funny stuff man, everyone needs a soundboard with a religious person screaming about the dark side every now and then... hahaha, if her behaviour wasn't staged just for TV, I'm amazed XD hahaha. Good work.

I normally don't enjoy sprite movies, nor watch them in their entirety, but this really had me watching right to the end! I appreciate how much effort you put into this, as it seems to have some form of story line, and you didn't bottom out on the smoothness of the animation halfway through the movie, it was good quality right through. It was nice to see you using a lot of different backgrounds and themes for the movie, it kept it fresh and avoided becoming boring.
I didn't really understand the ending, though... they fight for the entire movie, but then at the end Zero says he will repair X, and that he's sorry.... w.h.a.t?? haha. Anyways, nice sprite movie.
