I found out about this game from my cousin who owned the game for the psp. Id play for hours whenever I got a hold of the game. I recently inquired a ps3 and didnt know what to do with it (since most of the games arent really female friendly). I ordered it online and when it arrived, i invited some friends over to play. My friends were sold by how basic and fun the game was. Great game!

One of the Best Puzzle Games Ever

I have Lumines Live for my Xbox 360, so when I saw how cheap the PS2 version was, I bought it for my female friend and she loves it, being a big Tetris fan. What makes this stand apart from the numerous Tetris clones out there is Mizuguchi's brilliant melding of music with motion. In some games, the music is an annoying distraction, but in Lumines it flows quite nicely to the visuals, actually helping you anticipate when to drop certain blocks for the biggest combo. Another great thing is the inherent learning curve, you begin by simply forming block combos, but as you progress you begin to form more complicated shapes, until you start to see patterns within patterns. Once you reach this point, you are in the zone. Levels go from being annoying obstacles to freeflowing mazes you effortlessly traverse, progressing to even more spectacular backgrounds and music tracks. I've never really played anything so closely resembling synaesthesia, except maybe Rez, Mizuguchi's other musical masterpiece.
