Lumines

I recently downloaded the new demo of Lumines and am wondering what the big deal is about this game. Every reviewer I have read seems to love it, but to me it seems like a drably coloured Tetris variant. Playing "music videos" in the background does not hide the fact this is not a substantially different game than the free Tetris and Tetris-variants done in Flash that you can play for free.

Re: Lumines

OMG!!!

That's exactly what I thought too!!! LOL

I've never played any Lumines before, and I thought it was a phenomenon and some really good game, but then I played the demo and and... It was just like any free Bejeweled or Tetris, that you can play free on your PSP.

And the music videos pretty much SUCK, so I don't get why all the critics make so big deal about that game.

Re: Lumines

That's a Lumies 2 demo. Not the first version. I got the game and i think it's pretty fun. And it looks like tetris but it's actually completely different. It has many features like playing against the psp, ad-hoc etc... And there are over 30 stages. And, yes i agree that the music sucks but the game itself is fun. And on every stage you unlock there are different blocks background and sound.

Re: Lumines

I have been playing Lumines a bit more and I can see that it has definite merits as a distinct and good game. On just that basis I would have to agree it is warranted to give the company support, although personally it does not grab my interest enough yet to buy either of the full versions.

The demo is actually quite weak with respect to presentation. The white and olive squares look very bad against the light-coloured landscape video, and the music and video are generic and rather uninteresting.

And for a 1st time player, this game is not easy, so most folks are only going to see that 1st screen.

Now that you describe it rollinroll it actually sounds pretty good, but I think they could have put out a much better demo to sell it.

Re: Lumines

Well better than nothing. Although it's pretty bad to see as a first-timer to Lumines.

That's true too.

Well, it's like that i think that Lumines does'nt have something that MOH or Syphon Filter or GTA has. And this is galled in-game depth. But this brings us the question: Does game have to be easy-to-start, fast-loading, easy-to-quit and so on? The answer is Yes. For portable gaming consoles the games must be easy to stop, if bus or teacher comes. But also, there comes another question, which is: Does the game have to be fun? The answer is also yes. Lumines is pretty OK, if you like this type of games, but GTA, MOH, and SF are also fun if you like the type.

The bottom line is that when going to school I'll probably take Lumines with me, but in home or car-trip I'll play GTA instead.


(In home I usually play BF2:MC or SOCOM 3 but whattaheck...)

Re: Lumines

Well I think lumines is a good game. most of you only like certain games. and most young ppl dont like puzzle games. i like it tho. and my dad says it reminds him of tetris. oh and some ppl wouldnt play online on PSP cuz the controls are to stiff. And most offline launchers dont work.

That's what you think, but I think that the makers have just re-invented Tetris, which is still about the best puzzle-game ever.
