Don't listen to the non-believers - the fools who will tell you that
Lumines is just another Tetris clone. They might have a point, but
they're entirely missing THE point. This is a Tetsuya Mizuguchi
production, and like his previous game, Rez, there is more to Lumines
than first appears. Like Rez, it takes a fairly standard format - for Rez
it was the 3D shoot-em-up, here it's the block-puzzle game - then fuses
it with a stunning mixture of cool dance music, psychedelic visuals and
hypnotic gameplay. In other words, this is this is not just a game, but
an experience.
