Any other ways to unlock songs other than play challenge? Im not very good yet so I still have that default song and urbanization but I want MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great game! Argh psp rox!

Personally, I dunno of any more ways. Just keep at it- I was absolute drek the first couple of days I had the game but there's a point where you just start to get it and it flows from there.

But yeah man, fucking awesome game. Still probably my fave psp game.

Almost a year late, but it is true.

The only ways to unlock more songs are downloading a save and playing through challenge.

Keeping working at it. The journey to "Lights" is an amazing one.

Good game. But it could have been better. Skin/song shuffle in the main game would have been a g-dsend.

By far my favorite game on PSP. It's so hypnotic. I spent many a nights when I first got my PSP rocking out to awesome tracks like "Shinin'." I nearly crapped my pants the first time I made it all the way to "Lights."

There are a few of the skins that can be unlocked through hours logged and a few from the versus mode, but for the most part, you're gonna have to face the challenge.

speaking of lumines, do you get anything for playing through the puzzle mode?

i dont like this mode at all, and i'm currently stuck on one ("big square" iirc) that the game just wont seem to recognize when i make the shape... should i even bother?

K ill keep at it, ive been playing it quite a bit since I got it. I needed a good puzzle game to round out my psp collection, which is turning out pretty awesome

It was pretty fun for me, until they started to repeat.
I quit when i reached the one that requires you to clear the screen 3 or 4 times? ^^;

One skin for the first round, another for the x2 (do it twice!) round.

 

[op_ivy]

so, why the hell wont it clear me for the big square (5x5)?

i dont think its repeated yet, so i guess i still have a few skins to go...

i stopped at the repeats too. after getting 999999 on challenge, then doing time trials for a while (before stopping because no one else played it), puzzle mode was my last reason to play the game. much fun was had. then i got to the repeats. then meteos came out, with a crazy high score system. one where you dont get the exact same score as everyone else who is decent at the game. i know, i know, its weird, but it actually works.

See, I actually enjoyed the score ceiling in Lumines as it gave you something to truly strive for. It was a real goal and the path to that goal was just awesome. I had a whole lot more fun with Lumines than pretty much any puzzle game to date. It just kept me playing until I made it to the very end.

That's really quite different from the normal puzzle game logic (where there IS no ceiling), however, and that might be why it really worked for me.

Wouldn't exactly want all puzzle games to follow this format, of course, but I think it was perfect for this game.

 

[teepo]

the problem darkx was after you reached the end

Let's hope Mizuguchi keeps his word and bumps up the high score to 999,999,999 for Lumines 2.
