Nice reviews although I really enjoyed Lumines and would have given it a B. I do believe you are right, the game is overhyped. I played Twisted Metal and really enjoyed the game although there wasn't much to it. I would have bumped it up a grade b/c the multiplayer is kick ass. Anyway, nice reads despite the fact that I don't necessarily agree with you.

You should've given RE4 a D- if you're working on the crazy scale critic.

Gee, thanks for the insightful comments. Don't bother offering any reasons or alternate views. You probably haven't even played the games.
And oh yeah, if you're looking for reviews that "fall in line" with everyone else, IGN and Gamespot are open 24/7. Enjoy.

I enjoyed Lumines alot more than you did. I would have given it about a B or B+.

Lumines was a decent puzzle game that didn't deserve half the hype it got. It held my attention for maybe a couple days couple days. I was just glad I had only rented it. Why is the visual style even praised at all? It's a puzzle game so I wouldn't expect it to look great, and it hardly looks any better than any other puzzle games. I'd bump the grade up to a C or C+ because it wasn't awful, but it wasn't all that special either.

BTW: Nobody has explained yet why it should get a higher rating. So maybe you can "enlighten" us? ;-)

[QUOTE=Alienblue]Well, that was discouraging. I always wanted a PSP, and LUMINES was a main reason, as I love most good puzzle games. However, I'm suspect on this because the critic also gave only an average review to ZOOKEEPER, one of my all time favorite puzzle games on the DS or ANY system (I was completely addicted to that for a LONG time). Yes,Zookeeper had bland graphics and bad music, but who cares if the gameplay is something you can't put down? Graphics and music are important on a shooter, not a puzzler. [/QUOTE]
Uhm... the Critic gave Zookeeper a B+ -- see here. That's not average. That's well above average.
I agree with you about the game though. I bought Zookeeper for my five year old godson, but I ended up keeping it for myself for a long time before giving it to him. I couldn't tear myself away from it. Thank goodness I was able to get my hands on Ouendan and Trauma Center, or he might have never gotten that game.
