  1. The Dave

    I’ve had this game for several months now after getting burned out on Midnight Club (which is very intricate but is rendered almost unplayable by the 1+ minute load times).To add to the other reviews, I must say that while it is incredibly beautiful to look at, after a while you begin to shut out all the graphics and music and concentrate on the gameplay. If you play in the “normal” level advance mode, you can literally spend over two hours on one game, which is similar to Tetris. I’m not sure how many levels there are but I think 2 hours is my limit to staring at the PSP at a time (though hypocritically I have wasted entire weekends with Lumines!).Yes, I’ll attest that this is an INCREDIBELY addictive game, but be warned that it’s due to it’s simplicity more than anything else. Once you begin to notice all the patterns and strategy that’s when the game becomes competitive, because at that point you know that you can go on indefinitely as long as you keep your concentration and not make too many mistakes…but try keeping that up for over several hours!One of my favorite (most addictive) part of the game is the time trial where you have to get as many combinations as possible within a time limit (60, 180, 300, and 600 seconds). It has a completely different feel than the standard unlimited time mode. You will get to a certain point in your skills where you can consistantly get a pretty high score (30 combos in 60seconds for me), but every so often you’ll have a game wher.

    Lumines is a very innovative, fun, and addicting puzzle game. The music and sound effects are exciting and immersive. The visuals are stunning. Hours fly by while you’re playing this game.

    Lumines is a great puzzle game in the tradition of Tetris. Not only is it really fun in single player, it’s truly addictive in multiplayer as well!First off, the game itself. It’s just like tetris, where blocks fall and you arrange them. In this case, they are all squares, with two colors. You are trying to make the colors connect up into blocks. There is all sorts of different color changes, music changes and cool techniques you learn as you go. Don’t just play it a few times. Keep playing up into the higher levels, and it becomes a truly amazing game.Then you can take it multi-player, and the head to head gameplay is really fun. It’s not just “two people building side by side towers” like most other game systems. You actually use the same board and slide the ownership of area back and forth based on how well you do. It is incredibly fun!There are other challenges, with puzzles and time trials, but the basic game is really the core here. It’s perfect for picking up for 15 minutes when you’re waiting in line – or it can make an hour long train ride zip by in seconds. This is really the must-have game for your PSP!

    Having an urge to buy a new PSP game, but seeing how few there are, I found myself in a bit of a dilemma. The games are not cheap, and there isn’t much variety in any one genre. Coupled with the fact that I don’t care much for puzzle games, the pickings seemed slim. I had previously discounted Lumines because I never liked Tetris and really didn’t want to get anything resembling it. Yet I heard so many good things about it, that I decided to take the advice of the sales clerk at GameStop and purchase it.In about 15 minutes, I became hooked.The gameplay is only superficially similar to Tetris. Large blocks of four small blocks start at the top of the screen ready to fall. Any single block can be one of two colors. A vertical timeline travels across the screen from left to right, reappearing on the left after it leaves the screen on the right. The goal is to form squares of four blocks of the same color. You can move the large block left and right, rotate it, and speed its descent. When it “lands” on the bottom (or on top of other blocks), another large block appears that will start descending on its own in a few moments, and you can then manipulate the new one. If a large block (four smaller ones) lands on other blocks so that it overhangs, the overhang will continue to drop. There are no “holes” left in the playing field because of this.Once a square of four same-colored blocks is formed, it’s flagged for deletion. It will not be deleted until the timeline passes over it. As.

    It’s a funny thing about puzzles–the simpler they are, the more addictive they can be. Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s stylishly eccentric Lumines joins the ranks of Tetris and Bejeweled as the newest game you can’t stop playing. The mechanic couldn’t be more basic: rotate and drop the blocks to form squares of the same color. A beam that sweeps across the screen at regular intervals clears them away. In single-player mode, the goal is keep the screen as clear as possible and rack up points with multi-square combos. That’s it&but there are several other modes that add new levels of difficulty and strategy. Choose from VS CPU or two-player VS to match reflexes with the A.I. or another player, or puzzle mode to complete challenges, unlocking more puzzles. Advancing in single-player mode will unlock new skins and fresh tracks.The combination of electronic music and softly psychedelic colors is spellbinding. It’s like holding a mini rave in your hand. Turn it on–it’s delicious.

    For the longest time, I thought this was pronouned Loo mins. It is actually pronounce Loo min ess.Anyone who likes geometric perpetual video games such as Dr Mario, Puzzle League, and Tetris will really like Lumines. It is eerily similar to Connect 4 but not as irascible and inscrutable. Excepting the vs CPU stage, Lumines pits no one against you except yourself.The object this video game is to build cubes of 4 cubes of any one of two colours or if possible, rectangles of 6 or 8 cubes which is the most one can accomplish in one chance but this video game has hundreds of such chances as cubes of 4 colours are thrown into a playing board.Like everyone else says in the review of this video game, it is simply unputdownable. It can not be improved upon because in terms of design, it is quite possibly the most minimalist video game there is. Kind of like a Zen garden.There is a slight military quality about it. Lumines, in its way somewhat resembles the game of go.But again, whereas go pits player against opponent whereas in Lumines, one plays against one’s own skill.Specifically, the skills that Lumines develops is decision making, reflexes, peripheral vision, and HEC or hand eye coordination.

    The game is visually stimulating, the concept is simple but addicting, the sound track is pleasant. Your eyes will water from overuse.

  9. Matthew B. Scott

    If you liked Tetris you’ll like Lumines. Its been updated with good dance tracks, good videos, flawless game play and performance. Like any falling block game it can be a bit redundant – but mostly its just addictive and a far sight more stimulating than titles where significantly less time and attention to detail was spent during development.

    Now that you have your shiny new psp, you may be fighting over which game(s) you should get. Although you may be surprised, at this point, Lumines may be quietly stealing the show as the most stellar of the launch titles. Lumines you ask? Read on to find out.I will flat out say that I have not been a fan of the puzzle genre since the days of super nintendo and the sega genesis. The different variations of tetris (especially yoshi’s tetris attack) columns, and the original puyo puyo games always suckered me in. Yet, the years went by and at best there were only medicore puzzlers available. I began to ignore the genre altogether.However, when I heard that the creator of Rez, (one of the most underrated niche games I’ve ever played which has a cult following)Tetsuya Mizuguchi, was behind this game I knew I had to have it. Other than wipeout pure, there was no game other than Lumines which really excited me at launch. And Lumines certainly does not dissapoint. It is a game with great charm that will provide countless hours of fun, even if you don’t “get it” right away. The simplicity adds to this, rather than deters. This game has become the new tetris in my eyes.The music is hit or miss and primarily house/techno but when you get into the game, landing down your blocks on the beat is a rewarding experience regardless of your preference of the song. It is not necessary at all to like the music in order to appreciate the gameplay, although it certainly adds to the value of the pac.
