Lumines Live is out today

[DM2]

Once MS sort out live of course. http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archi...17/538003.aspx

[TRIGGER M4N]

Downloading now. Trial version anyway.

[ibaj]

Same, here! hope it's good. since i already have 200mp i can just add another 1kmp...

Btw, where are the optional packages?

[TRIGGER M4N]

It's an OK game, based on the trial.
Anyone else getting signed out of Xbox-live when playing it?

[ibaj]

Yeah, i am too. :/

[StrayBezza]

Scuse me for being negative but....why on earth would you pay £300 + for a 360 and next gen games and THEN a further tenner for hi-def tetris??? Maybe its just me but I don't get it.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the beauty of XBox Live (I have a gold account myself) and the ability to download demos and arcade stuff, but even as a 20 minute blast I would not sit down to play lumines over and above the likes of Dead Rising, table tennis or the mighty (fingers crossed) Pro Evo 6....just my opinion tho.....anyone agree/disagree?

I don't think many people will purchase an Xbox 360 solely for arcade games

[StrayBezza]

Thats a really intelligent response.
I thought this site encouraged articulate debate and opinion?
I thought the definition of a moron was somebody that paid £300 to play something they could access on their mobile phone.

I know most people would'nt buy a 360 for arcade downloads, I am merely expressing my humble opinion. I personally would rather put £10 towards a new next gen game, however, fair play to people who want to. Doesn't affect me........

Disagree, Not everyone has the same taste for gaming.

[StrayBezza]

I know....thats why I said in my opinion....it would be pretty boring if everyone liked the same games....could also be a potential nightmare!!! We could all end up playing Over G Fighters 24-7....ahhh.

[Nino]

Ok so while Straybezza keeps fighting his internal demons, let's discuss Lumines. How does it compare to the PSP version? How are the new skins?

I'm not really sure how it compares to the PSP version. My friend owns it and he let me try it and it's actually a pretty good puzzle game since i'm a big fan of tetis.

[Rival24]

I've played the demo and I don't like it but I don't really know why

:/ Oh, to me everything was great. It's just the demo was alittle to limited since you have to buy 2 packages to get all the features. But from what i played it was great.

Mission mode, VS. CPU, etc

I Like the sound effects, and music. but when i buy the game today i hope i dont run into that madonna song.

[Nino]

You only get the Madonna skin if you buy the 600 points pack right?

Rival24; it took me a while (2 sessions or so) to get into it too, keep at it.

[Studley]

Stuck at work, not sure if broadband will even work when I get home... but i **NEED** to own this. It was the only game I bought a PSP for... now maybe that's the definition of being a moron

Can anyone provide at least a partial list of the songs which are featured? I've Googled but can't find a list anywhere.

I believe so.

[Nekro Neko]

Amyone know how much the VS CPU Pack and more importantly, the Mission/Puzzle Mode Pack will cost?

I think the packs will cost 600mp. Not exactly sure though.
Just be sure you buy the "Base pack" first.

[DM2]

The 600 point addon package isn't available at the moment.

Actually, why not? For most people it is an ADDITION to the next gen graphic games. I mean I play the commercial games, but late at night I like UNO and Bankshot Billiards with a beer.

But what if someone only plays arcade games? I mean they are in HD 720p/1080i now, and after the update 720p upscaled to 1080p and probably 1080p native games. Imagine those on the big ass TV with 5.1 surround. That's next gen history man there.

So. You don't prefer, but others may. I know my girlfriend will tonight with Lumines!!!

[Nekro Neko]

600mp for the Advance pack, a little steep, 600mp for the Mission/Puzzle pack would be acceptable, 600mp for the privilage of playing the CPU, that would be a rip.

Haha, It's the truth.

[kidkit]

I've been looking forward to playing Lumines on my sound system... Also, it's great game the woman might like as well. Arcade to me is good for playing games with people who don't like the typical shoot'ems and race'ems.

It's a great game to play, listen to, and watch... Deal with it.
