Simple, yet satisfying.

[quote:89b8edb6cd]If you mark a tile with your stylus, it will flip from black to white or vice versa. If you mark an entire row, column or block of tiles, they'll flip individually.

The object is to make room for tiles falling from the top screen by clearing rows of tiles below. You do this by flipping the tiles to make rows that are all black or all white.

Gray neutral tiles surround the playing area, so you can flip disconnected groups of tiles. The gray tiles are particularly helpful in Puzzle mode, where you’re challenged to eliminate all black or white tiles without lifting your stylus once. Polarium comes with 100 puzzles. You can also build your own custom puzzles and send them to a fellow night-clubber with a tap of the stylus.

Play wireless multiplayer matches against a friend; as you clear lines, they'll appear on your opponent's screen, which is visible to you on the upper screen of your DS. Clear lines with "?"s on them to get power-ups that make your lines clear faster, block out your foe's border, reverse his or her tiles, and more.

A hypnotic electronic score gives the game the sleek appeal of a high-end fashion show. Polarium is definitely the game to play while you’re waiting to get into that Ibiza nightclub.[/quote:89b8edb6cd] - nintendo.com

The premise actually doesn't sound to bad - if you like puzzle games. My only question is, how come the PSP gets games like Metal Gear Ac!d while the DS is getting Polarium and Wario Ware games? Don't get me wrong, Wario Ware is hella fun to play with the stylus. But hopefully after the ice breaks more mainstream companies will pick up some titles for the DS.
