Lumines (PSP) ... game from the creator of such cult classics as Rez and Space Channel 5 may not seem as out-and-out impressive as some other PSP launch titles, but it's liable to be the one you keep coming back to. In fact, between the beautiful presentation, the innovative gameplay, and the excellent single-player and multiplayer modes, Lumines may very well be the greatest Tetris-style puzzle game since Tetris itself.

... in Tetris, the blocks are made up of 2 colours. You need to have just one of two colours of blocks be matched in a square shape, then when a square is made the square of colour will disappear. The more squares of the same colour that you can make the more points that you get. Therefore the concept is very simple as are the controls, but highly addictive. The pieces that fall from the top of the screen are always squares and unlike games like Tetris the blocks will fit into any area without gaps. The game sounds s...more

When the PSP was orginally launched a few years back this game 'Lumines' was released the same day as the launch and is another puzzle game. I find that there alot of puzzle games out there and I find them very irritating as they are too difficult but I wanted to see what this one was all about anyway and give me something to do. Lumines is a bit like the classic game of 'Tetris' which was brought along time ago now but has always been a firm favourite even to this day. This game deals with blocks that fall from the top of the screen as well. However there is a difference. Instead of the blocks being different shapes as in Tetris, the blocks are made up of 2 ...

Simplistic in it's nature, lumines is a block builder game where you aim to form blocks of 4 squares of the same colour as the cubes fall from the sky, as the blocks only disappear every 30 or so seconds tactics do come into the game. The game is over when the blocks stack up to the top of the screen. Although the game sounds boring it is very addictive, similar to tetris although this game prevents the annoying gaps that formed in the latter. As you progress through the stages (or skins) the background, colours and music changes causing momentary distraction which adds to the fun of the game. In addition to this there are little ...

Lumines (PSP) is a game similar to tetris in nature but with it's own little twist. In the game you are given a 2x2 block falling from the top of the screen containing a varying pattern of two colours. The idea is to match the colours from numerous blocks into a solid square of that colour and it is then removed from play. (It sounds complicated but when you get into the game it is very easy) It is similar to tetris in the fact that the blocks are not allowed to touch the top of the screen of the dreaded game over, which at many times is so frustrating. The other key element to the game is "skins." As you progress through the game, the ... Read the complete review
