lumines review - PSP-Forum.com

lol im really bored so decided to reveiw this game for you all
this isnt the kind of game i would normally buy, i prefer the racing and GTA type games but i thought i would give lumines a run for its money as the cheapest psp game i could get my hands on.
The menus are all in english which is a good start, you have a choice between challenge mode and single skin mode in the one player menu. also some time trial type things. Challenge mode is the main game, which is like tetris, you are given a block of 4 coloured cubes. And you have to make a 2 x 2 cube of the same colour for it to dissapear. hint, if you start off with a cube of the same colour let it fall by it self, to give you a clear screen a great 10000 points come your way. My top score is around 50000 after 2 days of play to give you an idea of how big that bonus is.
you also have puzzle mode which is where you have to make differnet shapes with the same colour cubes eg a dog etc. i cant get past 4 x 4 if anyone can help.
This game is really basic, but really adictive and fun at the same time.
the only criticism i have is that when you fill up the screen like on tetris you have to start all over again, on level 1.
Also theres a random japanese box that comes up on the main screen sometimes with an 'ok' option or 'cancel' dont have a clue what this means i just press cancel .
I would give this 7.5/10 and a great buy for under $40 or £25
