More of the same, but that's what you want, right?, November 21, 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
Q? Entertainment wisely decided to leave the core gameplay unaltered from the original "Lumines". It's still as addictive as ever, with the falling 2x2 blocks and simple 2-color scheme giving way to complex strategies. The additions come in the form of new skins, new songs (some of which have video backgrounds), new mascots (mine's a kitty!), an expanded puzzle mode, and a remix mode where you can create your own musical effects. The game also allows you to start at an intermediate or advanced difficulty, for those of us who could keep playing the original for hours after maxing out the score. My only complaint is that the song list feels somewhat shorter than the first game, and it didn't take long before I had looped it and was repeating the same tracks again. Still, Lumines is already a new classic for puzzle games, and this sequel adds more of what most players will want.

Easy to pick up, fun for adults and kids, November 24, 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
Although I was already a big fan of Lumines from the first game, this sequel adds quite a bit more to the gaming experience with better music, nicer graphics, and more game play modes. Some of the levels are a little too "busy" visually, with video in the background and heavily animated cubes, but it's a great game experience overall. The best part is, it's the kind of game you don't need to play for long stretches on end. It's involving and fun, but the levels aren't so long that you need to be tethered to your PSP. (But you'll want to be!)

Lumines 2.....2 times the fun!, December 24, 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This game is awesome! If you liked the first lumines, there's no reason to dislike this one and plenty of reasons to like it more. It's rare that sequels are better than the original, but in this case, it really is better. The gameplay hasn't changed from the original. The mission is still to align colored blocks in 4 or more of the same color to form a square and clear the board. Classic fun originally brought to us by tetris back in the day.
In addition to the great gameplay and music of the original game, this one has even better music than the first. You'll hear a few of the same songs from the first game, but added to them are new original compositions and songs by black eyed peas, hoobastank, gwen stefani, and even "regret" by new order for those of us old enough to remember that wonderful song. And the cool thing is..while the songs play, the video plays in the background of the game. The blocks that drop are really cool looking in this game too!
There are also now 3 levels of play..beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and a new puzzle mode and "mission mode" has been added in addition to the original Vs. CPU mode and time attack mode. You can also change the order of the skins and songs once you clear the level.
If you liked the first game, I can't recommend this one enough. It's great! And if you've never played Lumines, I recommend this one over the original. It's that good.
