This game stinks unless you live by puzzle games.

I liked the original tetris. Not to complex, pretty addicting. I even liked bust a move. So with all the good reviews of this game, I thought I'd give it a spin. I did and regretted it immediately. This is way to complex to catch on in any similar fashion to tetris. Your grandma could play tetris or bust a move. She will never get this game.
Bottom Line: Polarity blows this one out of the water on the DS. Will I keep it? Nope. Is it for kids? Nope. Too complex.

Shipping costs way too much!

I ordered this through Amazon since it's out of stock basically everywhere locally. I did note before ordering that this is available through Amazon partner Digital Velocity. Ok, a little annoying since I can't use Amazon Prime for shipping, but I'm willing to deal with that.

The only shipping option through Digital Velocity is "standard" 3-7 day delivery. Ok, a little more annoying but at least that's inexpensive. I'm still saving the sales tax on this vs buying it locally. The estimated shipping cost was reasonable.

I just got the order confirmation. The receipt says it'll cost $11 to ship a PSP game for "standard" 3-7 days delivery. You HAVE to be kidding! I'm going to do everything I can to cancel this order, but since it's with a partner and not Amazon directly that's tricky.

Amazon, please stop dealing with partners that advertise fake low prices and jack them up by charging 3-4 times what it costs to ship.

THE TRUTH BEHIND LUMINES

Lumines has some of the most addicting music and visuals i have ever seen on a game. Every time you move the blocks or get them cleared from the screen they make a beet to the current music playing. Little animations in the background are amazing and funny. But what they dont tell u is that this game is hard! THIS GAME IS HARD ! ! ! I bought this game a week ago and played it for an hour, i was only able to get to level two. The game is fast and confusing. I RECOMEND U RENT BEFORE U BUY. If u are good at it, then love it to death. But if ur like me and want a game that you can at least be able to play then dont buy. I would just like to know how in the world some of these people are even able to play it.

Horrible Game for Overrated System

This game is basically a joke. It's a puzzle game that's like Tetris, only much less fun. Back in the GameBoy era this might have been a good title, but today it's just can't keep up. Graphics and sound are amazingly bad, but much of that is the fault of the PSP, not just the game. PSP is very underpowered. Also the battery life on the PSP when playing this game is just terrible, you practically have to play right next to a power outlet.

Some people are using this game to illegally downgrade their firmware. I personally know two people who bricked their PSPs trying to do this so I suggest you do not attempt this. Just stay away from this awful game and the joke of a console that is the PSP.

What? Better than tetris? YOU got to be kidding!!!

I bought it because of all the good review. But after spending 5 weeks with game, I cannot imagin how on earth this game has such a good review. I mean wherever you see on the net, it has pretty good rating for no good reason.

As far as I'm concern, this is only a spin-off from tetris. Nothing more!!!

Excelent Seller.

I love my PSP. I've enjoyed every game I've played for it. Lumines, however, didn't live up to the hype and I just felt cheated.

It's not as much fun as Tetris by any means: it's flashier, prettier, and has better music, but it just isn't as fun to play! I found the puzzles really easy until suddenly one was hard and there was nothing to do to try any others. So I got a tip from the internet for that puzzle and then suddenly they were easy ones again until I got bored and stopped. The endless mode got boring before it ever approached being tough...after about 30 minutes that too was boring.

I finally sold mine. It's not a terrible game, and it may be just right for you, but I have to recommend trying before you buy.

$40 for a Tetris clone??

I couldn't disagree more with the other reviewers. I played this a bit at my local Best Buy store and I simply couldn't understand why anyone would pay $40 (plus sales tax) for a Tetris game, because this is what Lumines ultimately is. Yes, it's got tons of eye candies and funky music tracks, but the gameplay is essential Tetris. Maybe I didn't spend enough time with it to discover its "depth", but I'll never pay $40 for a Tetris game.

More fun than Tetris?

If you are the kind of person that enjoys spinning and dropping blocks until you can't see straight, this game could even be more fun than Tetris! [I do, and it is...]
The one drawback for me: If I could just figure out how to get it to change the order of songs in its default challenge mode, because that first one is REALLY starting to irritate me!
Well, maybe I'll just have to buy Lumines II to get around it...

It starts out fun!
