Hmmm.. well it's Lumines.. what can I say?

Anyway, I figured out why there aren't that much skins... cause of the Arcade game size limit, an arcade game must be less than 64MB.. Lumines already weighs in at 50MB so it's full already.

Now.. what I DON'T get.. is the puzzle pack... come on lar!!! That is again HORSE ARMOUR!!!

The MS Points need to be purchased using a credit card or you can buy the MS Points card from Djinn.

I'm missing the Mondo Grosso tracks. sad.gif Hopefully they'll be in the advance pack add-on.

There's definitely not enough skins, I did 2 rounds of the 12 before I hit game over. I hope they include some of the new Lumines 2 songs in the advance pack, like Heavenly Star. Need more disco house.

Also, I can't believe there's no save mode. Don't always have time to play 2 hours straight. mad.gif

Lumines 2 with it's 80+ skins on the PSP is going to be hot too.

Also, I'd argue you'd have to buy the Advance pack as well... those 12 skins won't last very long. So you're looking at 1800 points. sad.gif

And then you don't even get the complete puzzle or vs CPU mode. But they're rubbish, so save your points.

Advance Pack:

- 22 new skins for Challenge Mode
- New leader boards for Advance Challenge mode

There will be several add-on packs for Lumines Live coming in early 2007:

Artist Pack featuring music video skins like the Madonna "Sorry" music video you've seen in some of our materials. The Artist Packs can be used for play under the Challenge mode.

Mission/Puzzle Pack featuring 50 new problems in Mission mode and 3 bonus skins, and 50 new problems in Puzzle mode with 3 bonus skins

VS CPU Mode Pack featuring 11 new opponents/skins

Bought the advance pack, its worth it if you want more Lumines! The music is more varied and sweet! Then again I haven't played the original Lumines so its all new to me. Xbox Live multiplayer was kinda laggy last nite when playing ranked games. I'll probably give the Mission and VS Cpu Packs a skip. Better to play online with ppl.

Looks like the advance pack is a get then....

Damn... I guess it is a bit ridiculous to ask gamers to purchase 2-3 parts of a game to get the whole package ....

This seems a little easier than the PSP Lumines. Got to around 1,110,000 on the advance challenge mode and then got bored and game-overed.

I never hit 999,999 on the PSP.

Hehe, once you crack the game, it's really easy to get good scores. You know that 500,000 achievement? Once you hit that, you can pretty much hit 1 million no problem.

I miss the days when 20k was a good score. The difficulty spikes, the changing tempos. Was fun. wub.gif

^anyway, this loophole doesn't mean u can to mass-share 1 game with all ur gaming buddies. (only works for 2 machines+acc#)

just get a buddie u can trust, and 2 gamers/households can split the cost of XBLA+DLC. icon_rolleyes.gif
