I have written one post about how I am disappointed with Lumines 2. And I have not changed my mind since then - I definitely prefer the first game. It gets the balance right and its sense of style is way more pronounced than the second one, which in some places makes me wonder whether some colours weren't randomly selected.
I got the idea to make a Slideshare presentation comparing the screens from equivalent "skins" (combination of graphical style and music for a particular level in the game). Unfortunately, it turned out to be a really time-consuming task and I won't be able to finish it before Christmas, so I have decided to give you a sneak peek of how it will look. Enjoy!
"Round About" skin (Lumines)
"Round About" skin (Lumines II)Which one has more consequent art style in your opinion? Because for me the first one is better. The original Lumines is still one of my favourite games for the system.
More to come in 2007!

Your review (and the one on Eurogamer) just saved me a lot of money. I almost would have blindly bought Lumines 2...
What a pity they did such a cheap job.
Thanks for you comment, Tobe.
Well, the game is not all bad, but in my opinion it is significantly less original in terms of style.
I read on your blog that you are in the game industry - what is your job, if I may ask?
