Yeah it\'s been used in Tetris Worlds, which does have the option to turn it off - so maybe this will too.
It\'s helpful and not really a bad thing compared to the way it used to be. Makes the game a little more forgiving on high speeds, but competitively, skill still wins.
It\'d be like complaining how now you can see the next five or so pieces instead of just the next immediate piece. Made things a little easier, but didn\'t take away from the original at all.
Same with the ghost piece at the bottom to check how it\'s lined up as it falls.
A no frills "classic" mode with green graphics would be pretty cool, though.
