64876, i'll be late for that......LUMINES
Posted by topaz, Sun May-14-06 12:33 AM
got this for awhile now but only really getting into it these past week...it's pretty safe to say that this game is on Tetris/Puzzle Fighter level

the past few nights while i'm trying to sleep, my mind just can't stop thinking about this game...i'd be envisioning myself playing, setting up combos & shit...

Meteos is good and all, but Lumines was Q Entertainment's better game last yr, and one of the best games i've ever played

too bad i still kind of suck at it, i swear i'll get 999 999 one day tho
64877, best. puzzle game. ever.
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Sun May-14-06 03:23 AM
and one of the best games ever, too.

WAY better than Tetris, Dr. Mario or Puzzle Fighter

MUCH better than Meteos

EVEN better than Tetris Attack

This game really had me considering re-purchasing a PSP (my ex lost mine) just to play it. Luckily it's coming out on PS2 and another version is coming to Xbox 360 as well. PSP is getting Lumines 2 though, so I still may have to get one again if the price comes down.

The soundtrack is the shit too. I would play the game just for the music sometimes.

that damn VS CPU mode is ruthless...i can't even get past the 4th guy consistently, and the furthest i've gone is number 8, and since you can't continue, i'm *this* close to throwing my PSP against the wall
64977, Please punch yourself for saying it's better than tetris attack

TA is the GOAT forever.
64983, Sorry. it WAS the goat before Lumines tho.

I ride for TA, but yeah.

65996, I actually played an OKP once

He stumbled into the game like a gazelle into a lion's den. Challenged me on some "I'm pretty good" steez.

Son. It was brutal. That's the one game that I'm guaranteed to ether ANYBODY at.
66103, Is that the one where you drop bricks on your opponent when...
Posted by Solaam, Wed May-24-06 02:05 AM
you did a combo?

I remember watching my little brother and his ppls play that in awe. That shit looks like you have to be on a genius level. I don't see how, in the heat of battle, you can get out of having a brick cover your entire screen, than combo your way out of it.

66105, That;s the one, and I would ether your little brother.

Posted by ChampD1012, Mon May-22-06 10:06 AM
or maybe Lemmings?

But either way...
65010, i never got into it
Posted by rick, Mon May-15-06 05:21 PM
maybe i should load it up again and see what' up.

it just seems like really limited gameplay. i guess the same is true with tetris, but game had real charm. i just dont enjoy lumines the same way.

have you played mercury? that game is my shit.

65999, I found this PC Knock Off that has been keeping me busy got damn

crack cocaine in video game form.

if anyone wants a lank just search google ;) its made by someone named Kaikai.

66026, mentioning the puzzle fighter is a big step...
Posted by koan, Tue May-23-06 10:52 AM
...i'm not sure if the game merits that...

...i mean... puzzle fighter, once you get it, is another level.

...i mean, there's little more in this world more enjoyable than an eighth of that killer green, "mama's gun", and two player puzzle fighter all put together in one afternoon.

...i got a ten chain combo a couple weeks ago. when you get to 10, it doesn't say "10 chain" like it does with lower, inferior combos. it says 'X chain'

...suck on that, bitches.

Posted by mynbenda, Wed May-24-06 01:52 AM
Lumines is the shit... I can't stop playing that game... although it is hard as hell...
303668, The remaster is out
Posted by topaz, Tue Jun-26-18 10:18 PM
Made it to Lights (i.e. the last skin) in my first session with a score of just under 500000, good to know that my skills weren't lost over the years. A bit annoying though as that last song just ended abruptly, but you unlock endless mode afterwards.

I was going to get it for the Switch, but ended up getting the PS4 version, since there's a free bundle with 20 tracks, a theme and some avatars. Might still get it on the Switch at some point for the portability factor though.
303673, Oh snap, thank you for reminding me
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Thu Jun-28-18 07:30 PM
I'm still confident calling this the best puzzle game ever after all these years.

I got some extra fun money from Switch digital purchases so I'll buy it there for $9.
303674, Is it only on PS4? Im still pissed the old PS-Vita version....
Posted by KnowOne, Fri Jun-29-18 09:18 AM
is not in the digital store any more. Only the demo :-(
303675, Also on XB1, Steam and Switch
Posted by topaz, Sat Jun-30-18 04:22 AM
I wanted to play that Vita game at one point, guess I won't have the chance now.
