Lumines Live!

Current mood: happy

Category: Games




Lumines Live is finally out!! I spent the better part of the day on that game.. My poor eyes are hurting, but I loved it.

Lumines Live is just as great as its PSP counterpart. I cannot comment on the music because my PC BROKE in the middle of playing! (In case you don't know my 360 is connected through my PC and monitor speakers.) Soo... I spent HOURS playing Lumines w/o an music. I'm so gimp... *EDIT* I moved my 360 to the living room (like normal people) the music is cool. My favorite song is the Piano one, pretty song, pretty colors.

I've unlocked 7 achievements so far from Challenge, and Time Challenge. I also unlocked some skins (songs) in the game. I played some people in XBL and beat them in less then a minute.. I felt bad for them... I decided to try Skin Edit Mode, Endless because it's one of the few things I can play w/o the extra skins.. After 4 hours, 14 mintues I had to kill myself at level 461. I was hungry and tired so I quit. lol I wanted a million points and I got it.. There was no other reason to continue. I will never go through that again. This is how it broke down..






I don't know why the last image says my time was 14:21 when I played for over 4 hours and 14 minutes... So what did I get in the end? 20 achievement points.. what bullshit..


Now all is great though. So far it's 1200 MS Points + 600 MS Points = $22.50. For the price we have to shell out, I would have prefered an actual 360 disc. At least they can charge the $50 or whatever and have ALL the content on one disc. I also don't understand why all the downloads were not available on Day 1. On the second day the Advance Pack was released but who knows when the VS Pack will be out. So not only are they over charging, we have to wait indefinitely. It's also an inconvience to those who are interested in purchasing the packs. The packs are (kinda) forced on you, but you don't have to purchase them of course...

The analog stick controls suck, but the D-Pad is not too bad. However it makes me realize how bad the controllers were constructed. So long as I play with the D-Pad I'm fine.

Why do I play? Besides the fact that I enjoy Lumines, I also like the fact that I can play against my sister at anytime, in my living room. It may sound lame, but we've always wanted to play VS and she never got a PSP. Now we both can enjoy the game.

Despite it's microtransactions, and other issues it's a great game. I love it.
