I think im gonna buy olimario's PSP and I was wondering about the longevity of Lumines. Is it still playable after a month or two of owning?

Anyone still playing lumines?

Honestly, no. After unlocking everything there's no real incentive to go back, except maybe for beating your time attack records. Still a great game though, totally worth the asking price and I got probably 60 or so hours out of it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're probably not going to play it again 6 months down the line the same way you'd play Tetris or even Puyo Puyo.

Maybe I missed something and this turned out to not be true, but didn't Oli sell nake pictures of his girlfriend to buy a PSP?
As for Lumines, yes, do buy it. Definately one of the best games I've played in a long while. Once you unlock everything there really isn't much reason to go back unless you have a friend to play the very fun vs. mode with, but getting to the point of getting everything unlocked will take you over 20hrs. (And I still have a few skins left to go.)

I played Lumines regularly until I traded (for a week) Lumines for Darkstalkers
It's been one hell of a week and I want my game back early

I still play it. It's very hard to ever get tired of that game. Right now I play vs. cpu mode the most. That mode is very challenging, and you can play it in short bursts.
i just played it again last night. this game rocks when hooked up to some good speakers
already got to 999,999 points twice. i plan to clear the scoreboard with 999,999 points
i still believe this game should have been released on consoles though. this game makes me tired whenever i do my 999k runs.

Well in order to find out the truth I'd have to brave the horrors that are OA. I don't really care enough, and hell, whatever Oli does is his own buisness. I just would find it pretty funny that someone would sell naked pictures of their girlfriend as an absolute extreme to obtain something, and then a month or two later.. turn around and sell it off to someone else.Soundwave 2k4 said:

It's fan-freaking-tastic once you get into it. It's a bit slow starting out, but it's easily one of the most enjoyable puzzle games I've played.
That said, Puyo Puyo is and will probably always be the best line of puzzlers ever. It's a crying shame it was barely released at all in the US before Sonic Team went and did PPF.

I only bought Lumines 10 days ago. Have just discovered the Versus CPU mode, which is nice. I can't figure out the Puzzle mode, though. On the regular Challenge mode, I'm having trouble staying awake. Have put it away for a few days and have been having a ball with Hot Shots Golf

I'm approaching owning it for six months now and I still play it.

It's a great game, but I don't play it anymore. Mostly because it's not my PSP and I don't get to take it on the bus.
edit: I played it for 2-3 weeks

I have been playing it for abotu 10 days straight now. I played it everyday after I got my PSP at launch, but I stopped for a bit after I got Hot Shots Golf. But now I am totally back into Lumines. Defintely worth the price.

I played the crap out of it for a 5 or 6 weeks. Than I picked up Hot Shots Golf and havent played it much since. I threw it back in the system a few days ago and played it again and still love it. It still felt fun and fresh. Only downside is that when you get good at it, games can last a long time.

My friend has had it for the past two months, he's gone back home for the summer (i'm at uni)
I really miss it, it's an insanely addictive game that really justifies the PSP as a great handheld. Worth purchsing the system for this game alone.

Yeah, I love the game, but it sucks that it has a point cap, and it really could've used another 20 or 30 skins. Once you unlock every one, there's no real motivation to keep on playing. (Unlike, say, Tetris, where you can keep trying to top your best scores forever.)
I'm still working on some of the VS CPU skins myself (is there a trick to that or something? I have trouble getting all the way to the end), but other than that, I'm pretty much done.
Still worth experiencing once though, for sure. I say go for it.

It's just very tough and you have to be very fast and on later levels clear some blocks FAST before the first scanline gets past you. If you miss the first pass, you have to set up some good clearance in the second pass, and to work from there like mad to push the separation line. If you don't do that either, you're screwed.
I managed to finish this mode only once on the Japanese version. Now I'm trying again with US version (which has the same difficulty and all, just faster loading) and I can't reapeat that success :\

Why is olimario selling his PSP. Didn't he sell his DS too?

Get this for 1 player gameplay, import Puyo Pop Fever for 2 player games, and you got the holy duo of puzzle games.
Oh, and, by the way, I don't believe that Oli sold naked pics of his girlfriend and that nothing leaked out.
