Can I just say right off the bat...This is one of my favourite puzzle-type games OF ALL TIME. Lumines is addictive beyond belief, and a fantastic game to just carry about in your PSP for a quick game when you're waiting in line at the checkout or sitting on the bus, but make sure you remember to get off at your stop because believe me, you can get pretty absorbed in this game.
