Lumines: Electronic Symphony

With Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s often bland musical experimentation replaced with some of electronica’s finest moments, Electronic Symphony breathes new life into a series that had previously appeared stagnant.

Lumines: Electronic Symphony is the best Lumines yet, the music is incredible, the new modes and features are a nice touch, and it looks gorgeous and vibrant on the Vita’s OLED screen (a theme among all Vita games, it seems). It’s a must have for anyone who enjoyed it on the PSP (or on any platform), and I couldn’t recommend it more highly as a PlayStation Vita launch title. You can’t go wrong with this purchase.

Even with the frustrating — and completely optional — touch controls and lack of an online multiplayer mode, Lumines Electronic Symphony is the best in the series. With stunning visuals, immersive audio and addictive gameplay, it's an ideal buy for newcomers and puzzle veterans alike.
