TETRIS EFFECT: CONNECTED MODES
JOURNEY MODE
This is the main campaign and the heart of Tetris Effect: Connected. After choosing from one of three difficulties (Beginner, Normal, Expert), players journey through a series of stages, each with their own theme, graphics, music, sound effects, etc. all of which sync to the gameplay.
EFFECT MODES
These are all the other modes in the game – a collection of varying setups and rules designed to evoke different moods the player might be in (or want to be in), as well as varying skill levels.
Effect Modes are divided into four categories based loosely on what “effect” we want the player to come away with, i.e. chill out with “Relax,” concentrate with “Focus,” enjoy the familiarity / nostalgia of “Classic” modes, or try something unique with “Adventurous.”

How many players can play in each Multiplayer mode?
ZONE BATTLE: 1P vs. 1P (or 1P vs. CPU on local multiplayer)
