Lumines Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I purchased this game on launch day, I only knew one thing about it:It was made by the same guy who made REZ.Really, that's all I needed to know to part with my cash.

REZ is a hard to find shooter title for Dreamcast/PS2 that set itself apart by completely integrating the visuals and the gameplay with the music.

Lumines, although the game itself is completely different, also delivers big on this concept.Each action you take, rotating the falling peices, destroying a square of same-colored blocks, setting off a huge combo, all trigger unique musical embellishments and sound effects that go with the soundtrack for each level.This in itself would be enough to make a game engrossing, but the mechanics and hectic pacing of the game make it all the more addictive.

Lumines is a falling blocks game, but it is in no way a tetris clone.Squares fall in blocks of four, and come in two colors, arranged in the block at random.By arranging the squares into 2x2 blocks of like colors, a bar that moves across the screen will clear it.Squares can be as big as you want, and can overlap.Also, depending on the music for the stage, the bar may move faster or slower.There are also special blocks that will clear all blocks of the same color that are touching it.It sounds simple, and it is, but the most addictive puzzle games always are.

This game belongs with every PSP purchase.
