Lumines vs Polarium
 

If you haven't played them, which one do you look more forward to?

I'm all for Polarium. It should be so sweet, unlike anything before. :D

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

I have played both. Lumines has better atmosphere and is overall the better experience. However, Polarium is very clever and innovative, and like you said it's unlike pretty much anything I've played before.

They're two totally different experiences, really.


Also don't forget about Mercury and Meteos, both are kick ass.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

I've played Lumines, and not Polarium, so I can't make a perfect decision about it.

I've seen both in action and I think Polarium looks a bit more fun, just because of the touch screen. But I haven't played them so I can't make an educated opinion.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

Even though I havent played either of them, I'm all for Polarium...

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

I might get Mercury because of the whole Tilt sensor in the PSP, and it working with the game.... that COOL.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

This tilt sensor? :D :angel:

So how does Mercury work?

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

no you numb nuts, thats for GB. he's talking about a PSP one. i mean seriously man, get with the program.




:p

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

I think he was trying to say Nintendo came up with the tilt sensor first....

a lot of discussions on this forum turn into a competition between 2 brands.... unbelievable.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

That's what the :angel: was for. :p And Null understood me.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

Polarium, for the touch-screen integration.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

I played the barebones version of Lumines for PC. Plain and silent, it isn't a great deal of fun. If Polarium had some insane visuals and music I think it would win hands down based on what I know about the two games. That being said I still need to experience Lumines on the PSP and see what all the fuss is about. PA's comic on it makes me even more eager.



But Mercury shall rule supreme.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

These puzzle games (Lumines, Polarium, and Meteos... haven't looked at Mercury) have me so excited to play a handheld it's ridiculous. I want both systems just for these puzzle games... it's ridiculous.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

Im afraid to buy a PSP and Lumines because I can see myself huddled in a corner, swaying side to side for like 48 hours straight playing the game...and looking a lot like Tycho there

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

I'm more interested in Lumines because it has flash and I'm attracted to flash like a moth to a flame.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

Hmmm upon looking over... i think Lumines looks the best... but I haven't played any so it's too early to call.

Re: Lumines vs Polarium
 

Yeah, and the new Wario Ware: Twisted for GBA will also have a tilt sensor built in the cart (configurable so it can be reversed for compatibility with both GBA's and the DS).

As for the puzzle games, I really don't know. Hopefull they're both great, but as it stands I haven't had the opportunity to play either.
