The game is nice and boring

It is nice the first time you play it but it becomes boring after time from playing it too much because all of the game is the same thing

Great Puzzle game for the PSP

Lumines 2 is the sequel (really?) to the earlier PSP puzzle game: Lumines. It is a block puzzle game that has you aligning blocks to match two different colors to other blocks of the same hue. The game is fairly simple, but can get addictive. There are multiplyers, and numerous techniques to make all the blocks disappear. Match as many block colors by rotating them, stacking them, and using a bit of quick thinking, and they'll disappear, thus giving you more space to work with, and more points. There are a handful of game modes. Each plays pretty much the same, but with minor objectives. Some times, you play split screen against the computer, and other times, you are just trying to get higher scores. Both of these alternatives can net you new skins- the different color and material patterns of the blocks- and music which plays in the background. There are music videos in the game, from different bands and artists like the Black Eyed Peas, and they play in the background, while the transparent, glimmering blocks slide down vertically. The game is fun, and it is a good time waster. It is an ideal hand held game, as it is great to just pick up and play when you're waiting at the dentist's office. If you're into puzzle games, or just find this game interesting, I suggest you pick it up.
