Best PSP Game of 2005 - Lumines! (GameSpot)
Gamespot has announced their favorite PSP game of the year. The candidates are:
- Burnout Legends
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Lumines
- SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo
- Wipeout Pure
And the winner is:
“Lumines,
the launch game from legendary developer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, has a
noteworthy pedigree and the gameplay to back it up. The simple genius
behind this puzzle game can best be compared to Tetris, and yet it
doesn't just derive from what made the most classic of all puzzle games
great, but brings its own brand of ingenuity to the table. Not only
does it play well, but it looks and sounds sensational too. A strong
soundtrack and beautifully rendered graphics only help to enhance this
stylish and personable game. Though the PSP certainly has the strength
to become the powerhouse of all the portable consoles, its greatest
achievement this year was one of its simplest, proving that you don't
need a lot of muscle to make a great game.”
I must admit that Lumines is a cool game, but it always gets too hard after some level-ups ;-P
