Ultimately, the game amounts to a very extensive map pack with one new game mode, but because the great gameplay of the original is left intact, Lumines II is still a very enjoyable experience.

I can only think of two kinds of gamers who should steer clear of Lumines II: those who categorically dislike puzzlers, and those who tried the first Lumines and weren’t impressed. Otherwise, everyone should see how the best block-dropper since Tetris is building on its foundation and moving forward.

Lumines II comes out of the gate strong and never lets up in creating a perfect puzzle game, and it comes with our highest recommendation.

for the psp this is the best puzzle like tetriz game in my opinion, its addictive and better than the first one, good graphics and gameplay for the psp.

I'm biased. I love and adore Lumines. This is definitely the definitive one. It has the second most content, only beaten by Live (which is incredibly segmented through DLC) and it just feels great to play. However, my one issue is a true 100% file is painfully long to get to. I have over 45 hours in and I still don't have the S+ rank for time played.

The sequel is even better, although it doesn't really add much. But it's a classic that needs to be played. [Christmas 2006, p.100]

Like any good portable title, it’s meant to be played in short bursts, and that’s where you’ll get the most enjoyment out of this one. On the visual side, Lumines II contains every bit of style and appeal that the first title did.

Despite a few questionable music choices, Lumines II has everything that you liked about the first game and more. It's still a great game.

Still, the core single-player experience is as addictive and elegant as ever. [Dec. 2006, p.158]

The old songs mixed with the new, the unchanged gameplay, the redundant difficulty modes, the atrocious inclusion of really really bad music videos.

Gamers control squares made of four smaller block pieces that are dropped into the playing field one at a time to form same-color squares. The vertical "timeline" sweeps across the playing field from left to right and wipes the same-color squares from ... Read More
