I must be mad. Otherwise, how can it be that I consider Lumines to be a terrible game? And I do, I hate lumines. And I like puzzle games, I like them quite a bit. But Lumines relies more on timing then logic and the music seem more like a gimmick then an actual gameplay elements. And I can't even begin to comprehend how you are suppose to unlock all 60+ background themes when they always come in the same exact order. Would it have been too much to ask them to randomize the themes so that novices had a chance to see them too?
I think the game is poorly designed and relies too much on cheezy pop artwork and weak techno beats. Am I alone in thinking that? I know the critic community all seems to agree in unison that Lumines is the best game ever made, but I'd like to know if anyone else disagrees with them?
BTW, the most under appreciated game of all time has to be Untold Legend. I played that game for WEEKS! And where is Xmen Legends 2? I've played that game all throughout december, and I rarely play any game that much. I can't believe it's not on that list. I don't seem Kingdom of Heaven either. I played KoH for almost 2 months. Is there no love for the RPG's??
Wipeout is a nice looking game, but much like Lumines, it's kinda lacking in substance IMHO. GTA and Burnout are definitely great games, but not really attention holding. I get the feeling Gamespot only likes really shallow games without alot of substance. Because the PSP can be put into stand-by at any time, it's possible to play a 50 hour game without ever shutting down the actual game. From my experience, the PSP is actually the BEST platform ever for long-term RPG's and strategy games! I can't comprehend why people think portable games need to be Shallow. In my opinion, the PSP is actually the best long-term gaming platform ever made.
Maybe they should just use their PSP more. Learn to really appreciate it's many abilities. (Maybe even use some Homebrew?)
