 Are You Ready? November 18, 2008
There have been puzzle games that are always fun to pop in and play even after the game has been cleared once or twice such as Bombastic, Tetris and yeah Klax too but since I first saw Lumines for myself back when it first came out it looked to me like it would be the next great puzzler so from the time I saw that this game came out for the Playstation 2 I just knew this was one I just had to have. When I got this game as a gift I was looking forward to trying this game for myself. Since then I have played this game through and through and this has got to be the most demanding in clearing any and every challenge (not that that's a bad thing at all) and I don't think I will ever forget how much I could feel my actual heart beating out of my chest when I was on the verge of reaching the maximum 999,999 points which I can proudly say I actually accomplished at that very moment. Plus there is also the Vs. Mode where every character is even more challenging than the last, the Puzzle Mode with 100 levels where you have to think and move fast since clearing every puzzle has a time limit as well as the timed challenges where you only have a minute or two to beat the record number of squares cleared and not to mention all the unlockables that comes with completing these challenges as well. In closing, this is one puzzler that is always fun and challenging from the start and if you have a Playstation 2 and are looking for a true puzzle game well look no further since this is one that will keep you playing for hours and hours.
 One of the Best Puzzle Games Ever January 15, 2008
I have Lumines Live for my Xbox 360, so when I saw how cheap the PS2 version was, I bought it for my female friend and she loves it, being a big Tetris fan. What makes this stand apart from the numerous Tetris clones out there is Mizuguchi's brilliant melding of music with motion. In some games, the music is an annoying distraction, but in Lumines it flows quite nicely to the visuals, actually helping you anticipate when to drop certain blocks for the biggest combo. Another great thing is the inherent learning curve, you begin by simply forming block combos, but as you progress you begin to form more complicated shapes, until you start to see patterns within patterns. Once you reach this point, you are in the zone. Levels go from being annoying obstacles to freeflowing mazes you effortlessly traverse, progressing to even more spectacular backgrounds and music tracks. I've never really played anything so closely resembling synaesthesia, except maybe Rez, Mizuguchi's other musical masterpiece.
Awesome game! January 7, 2008
I found out about this game from my cousin who owned the game for the psp. Id play for hours whenever I got a hold of the game. I recently inquired a ps3 and didnt know what to do with it (since most of the games arent really female friendly). I ordered it online and when it arrived, i invited some friends over to play. My friends were sold by how basic and fun the game was. Great game!

If you're looking for something to fill the hole left by Tetris, Bust-a-move or any other block type game, you'll love this. My wife and I have been playing each other non-stop since it arrived in the mail.
 I can see why this is a great portable game June 11, 2007

But on a console it really loses something.
This puzzle game requires you to rotate a 2x2 block of two different colors and you clear them by creating rectangles of the same color.
Yes, the game is addicting and strangely hypnotic at times, but the selection of this particular one is terrible. The "Shinin'" mode is the best, but many other modes are lame. In fact there really isn't much compared to both the PSP Lumines and 360 versions. No music videos and no downloadable content.
Lumines is a great game...for your PSP.
Lumines Plus is just ok.
