Tetris Lovers Beware! You will go NUTS after playing this one. A game similiar to Tetris but with a little bit of spice added. Summary : A normal puzzle game. Objective of this game is fairly simple. Boxes fall down and you just got to connect them to make a square or rectangle of the same color as a "timeline" ( a line that passes by every few seconds ) will destroy the box as it passes by. YES very simple because there is only TWO colors. It's much easier when you play the game to understand it more but you just have to connect the pieces to make squares or rectangles instead of lines from Tetris. You just have to rank up your score like you Tetris Nerds always do in the regular oldie Tetris. What makes this game really NEAT is that there are "skins" involved. WHAT? You don't know what skins are? In case you didn't know, skins are just the same thing except just a few "mods" changed, meaning the background, the color, and believe it or not, even the MUSIC will change too. So how in fact do these skins change? As your score and combos go up as you keep elimating rectangles, it will just blend in the new "skin" and appear. You just got to see it. Also, many differnent modes! There's always the Original Single Player Mode, Multi-player Mode to go against your buddies, and the special computer match where you can go against the computer on a 1v1 match to earn more skins! Gameplay : Fairly Simple. PSP Controls are easy to manuever. Very quick to learn game basics. Extremely ADDICTIVE and FUN. Very beautiful graphics with a bit of a new taste from all the common games out currently. Sound : Astonded when I first played it. The music took my breath away as I closed my eyes and just listened. The music was a big hit to this game and it was gorgeous. Different types of music are played with many genre. Sound effects are included too as blocks are being "deleted" by the timeline. As the skins change, the music changes to make you feel like you are part of the game. One word : Overwhelmed. Overall : Feels like an expansion from one of the major big hits , Tetris, yet it feels like something new. This game totally rocks. You don't want to miss out on this big hit. Lumines : Puzzle Fusion is here to stay on the PSP as one of the best puzzle games.Read full review
Lumines really seems to of come from the same mold as Tetris, in the fact that the you will be dealing with blocks that fall from the top of the screen. The one difference here is that instead of the blocks being different shapes as in Tetris, the blocks are made up of 2 colors. Lumines is a falling block game, made very simple by requiring just one of two colors of blocks be matched in a square shape, when a square is made the square of color will disappear, the more squares of the same color that you can make the more points that you acquire. The controls are very simple. You use the d-pad to move the blocks from left to right, if you hold the down button the blocks fall faster and the x button rotates the blocks. Sounds easy right? well read on to find out more The pieces that fall from the top of the screen are always squares and unlike Tetris and many other puzzle games, the blocks will fit into any space without making gaps. The blocks split and fall in half if the block is placed on a ledge. Whether they will make a color combo when they fall is something else, it can either help you out immensely or it can make your life miserable, but really this is a simple game where you drop blocks, match colors, and make squares. There are a few different modes of play. You can do a challenge mode where you are able to win more skins and music tracks. You can play single game mode where you can pick the back ground you want to play on. There are also options where you can play against the computer or against another PSP via Wi-Fi. In the Vs mode the screen is split into two. The idea is to make as many combos as you can, the more combos you make the smaller your opponents playing field gets, when it gets to small for your opponent to play you win! I have not played against another PSP as of yet but imagine that it will be a lot of fun. AND NOW FOR THE TWIST There are always twists in puzzle games like this, although there was not a super puzzle piece in Tetris, their is one in Lumines. Every now and them a square will drop that has a little green jewel in the middle of it, if you are able to use this jewel, every block that is the same color of the block that has the jewel in it when connected by direct touch (i.e. edge-to-edge) will be included in your combo. The amount of combos you can make by using these are limitless. I have at one point been able to clear 75 - 80% of one color from my game board, and the cool thing is when all of the squares that are in the combo disappear, all of the remaining blocks fall down and they could make even more combos for you. Lumines as with most puzzle games looks very simple. There are no flashy graphics, everything has been made as simple as can be. There are different backgrounds (or skins as they are called in the game) that become available the further you get through the game. The skins range from being in space to being able to see people dance in the background to being above busy freeways. The skins are actually very cool, and add a lot of replay value to this game. You will find yourself coming back again and again trying to unlock all of the skins that are in the game. Lumines is a very simple game but let me tell you, it is extremely addictive. The Puzzle game genre is not my favorite but Lumines has blown me away. Since I brought the game 4 days ago I have not been able to put my PSP down. This is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best game on the PSP!Read full review
***WARNING! THIS GAME MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOSE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SLEEP! SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE POSSIBLE ADDICTION, SEEING FALLING BLOCKS WHEN NOT PLAYING THE GAME, AND A SUDDEN URGE TO DANCE OR NOD YOUR HEAD TO THE MUSIC!!*** Now that that's out of the way, let the review begin. Before I bought Lumines, I had read glowing reviews that proclaimed that Lumines was one of the best game available for the PSP. Now that I have bought it and played for countless hours, I can now tell you that this is true. Lumines is by far the best puzzle game I have ever played. I usually start a review by discussing its graphics and sound, but here I feel that I must start by talking about the gameplay. The genius of Lumines lies in its simplicity. No complicated rules, no powerups, only cube shaped blocks in a variety of two, yes two, colors. The objective of the game is to create squares/rectangles which will then be eliminated by the time line, a vertical line moving across the screen. I'm not going to digress into a lengthy explanation of the rules, just know that it's not as easy at it sounds. As you eliminate more blocks, your level and score goes up. This is where Lumines really shines. Every certain amount of levels, the "skin" of the game changes. The blocks change color and shape, and the background changes to match the skin. Also, each skin brings about a music change. In addition to the graphic and music changes, the speed of the blocks and the time line also change with the skin. This variety in gameplay ensures that you never get bored. There are also a variety of different modes to play in, so you'll have plenty of options if you get tired of anything. There were times where I played for hours on end without noticing time going by. And after I was done, I kept seeing blocks falling in my head... I'm not joking. The graphics in Lumines are simple, which blends well with the gameplay. The skins are delightful and full of color, adding an aesthetic element to an already solid game. Musically, Lumines has an awesome soundtrack! The different songs in the skins are great, and every time you eliminate some blocks, there is a sound effect that fits into the music. So you're controlling the song with how you play the game! This is one unique part of Lumines that pushes it to the top of the ladder in puzzle games. Overall, Lumines is an awesome game. If you don't like puzzle games, you'll still enjoy Lumines, and if you do, this is a must have! With stellar gameplay, music, and graphics, Lumines shines far above other puzzle games!Read full review

You can say this game like a tetris or not like tetris... It's depend on you. If you like tetris and game strategy, you definitely like this game too, if you do not like tetris, you no need to try it cause this game only has two colour in every stage you have to pass, and it can make you boring... However it's good game for who likes game strategy, we can called it's modern or the other style of tetris, it comes with a great background and great music, I like it very much.. And because this game only has two colour, this game makes your brain thinking more extra hard, you like challenge? Try it...
