5.0 out of 5 stars I don't know why this is so hard to find. . ., December 23, 2005

If you like Tetris, you'll like this game. If you like Lumines, you'll like this game. There are different modes to play--single, practice attacks, against the CPU, arcade, etc. It loads fast and there isn't any lag time at all to start another game. The only thing I don't particularly care for is that the characters are more geared towards kids, IMO, unlike Lumines where the look and feel appeals more to adults (I'm 39) but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the action of the game and I love playing this game. I think it moves faster than Lumines and that's one of the things I like about it (I can spend an hour and a half playing Lumines before one game ends--I've played the arcade mode for a half hour with 2 continues--more challenging, IMO). One other "minor" complaint, navagating around the menus is a bit challenging. Most Playstation and PSP games make use of the same buttons to move from menu to menu--this game deviates from that a bit and it takes a little getting used to.

What I don't understand is why it's not readily available in stores. Best Buy only offers it online. Circuit City doesn't even have it listed. I was able to buy it at Gamestop, although not all locations carry it.

Like Tetris and Lumines, this game is highly addictive--a must have for fans of Tetris and Lumines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down my favorite PSP game, December 12, 2006

I loved playing my PSP, but hated that all the games in my collection take a long time to play. I really wanted something that I could play even if I only had five minutes, like Tetris. That's when I stumbled upon this game, which IMO is even better than Tetris -- I'm SO glad I bought it! My favorite feature is that the game actually begins with blocks to shift, compared with Tetris where I always had to make challenges for myself on the first few levels so I wouldn't get bored. I know it's already been said but it deserves to be said again: If you like Tetris, or games like Columns and Blockout for the old Sega Genesis -- This is a game for you. I've only owned it a few weeks and I've already played it more than any other game I own!
