I know, I know, there are tons of player reviews on this as it is. But I feel I need to write one because of the greatness of this game. In fact when I play my PSP, this is usually what you'll find me playing. Gameplay: This is a bit different from most puzzle games. In this one you have sqaures with two colors (this is very difficult to describe but I have to try) These blocks are random. The goal is to make sqaures of one of those colors and when the line come across the screen they dissapear (the ones you made) Now I think I'm making this sound more difficult than it actually is. But trust me, it's very easy. You have several modes you can go into on this game. One is Challenge mode. This is were you play through many different levels and see how far you can get. It'll take several tries to get through it. But the levels you complete, you get to keep them for Single Player mode. (the levels are called Skins by the way) In Single Player mode, you get to play with the skins you've earned. Try and build a high score. Then there is VS mode. You can either play against the game or another person. Sadly I don't know anyone with a PSP besides myself, so I've never played the 2 player mode. But the you vs computer mode is fun and even more challenging than the Challenge mode. This is also another way you can earn skins and the only way to earn new characters. Graphics and Sound: The music is wonderful. It's very techno most of the time, but I think it works extremly well with this game. Even for those who don't like dance music will like this game. And the graphics...the graphics are stunning for the PSP. That's what's so great about getting different skins. They really show what the PSP can do. Summary: There is always something to do in this game and it will keep you busy whether your at home or on the go. The only thing I can see that is wrong with this game is that when you beat the Challenge mode, there isn't much to do. But you can always challenge yourself for that high score. So that's not really that big of a problem. If you own a PSP you owe it to yourself to buy this game. You won't regret it.

To tell you the truth when I first got the PSP I did not get Lumines ! I simply got a rpg (Popolocrois) and a racing game (Most Wanted) which I thought were the best at that time but I was wrong because there was still a... Read Full Review
