Meteos: Possibly the most addictive puzzle game ive played!

Well just thought id quickly share my thoughts on what i think is one of the best DS releases to date!
Now firstly im not a huge puzzle fan. Sure i enjoy them but more often than not they can become to frustrating for me and i get tired real quick of them.
Recently ive been on a DS buying spree and recently just bought 6-7 new games for it. Before i purchased Meteos i checked metacritic.com and was amazed at how many high reviews this game got so i thought i have to try this bad boy! So off on my ebay travels i managed to pick up a used copy for £12. 3 days later the game was in my hands so i feverishly placed the game in the DS.
I started with a "simple" game which lasted about 10 secs. Before i knew it, it was game over and i really didnt know what id done wrong, if anything!
So again i started again and once i got used to the basic concept behind the game i was blasting meteos into space for fun. Ive now had the game for 3 days and im amazed at how well my skills have progressed on the game. I can now chain lots of rockets together and seem to have a grip on the game. All i can say is WOW, this is the most addictive game i have at the moment and im struggling to play the other games ive bought as i simply cannot put this game down at all! For anyone thinking about buying it i have this response... do it now!! you wont be disappointed.
In closing i just wondered if any other DS users on here have Tetris DS?

I'm going to get this very soon. Is it an American copy from eBay? Either way, 12 squids is a bargain!

Probably 'cos I'm no flaming good at it!

It just annoys me, I don't think the stylus is very accurate, and the music is awful, but mainly, I'm just rubbish.

Not much better at Mariokart either, as Dan will testify!

*Edit*

It's not the genre either, when the Megadrive first came out, I think I lost about a month somewhere to 'Columns', loved that game, and I've got Tetrisworlds for the Xbox, again, excellent, that's why I thought Meteos would be perfect, alas not to be.

*Edit 2*

Just noticed on the cover, it's rated 3+, give this to a 3 year old, I dare you, and I guarantee within 10 minutes there'll be the biggest blue-fit you've ever seen!
