I collect games on different platforms to see if the experience playing them is rewarding (Tetris, Lumines, EXIT, etc...) On XBLA, I checked out E4, which is a sequel to Every Extend Extra and Every Extend. The PSP version (E3) I found to be challenging, but not quite as compelling as E4, especially with the musical aspects of E4. Doing things to the beat is not as easy as it looks, especially when the clock is ticking, not only to games' end but to your shields. Your timing helps keep the game alive, which allows you to rack up more points. You have to grab more time and bonuses, but this takes time, you also have to grab icons which adds more enemies onscreen, which can fill it up quickly. If you don't like the music (I did, but my tastes run the gamut...) you can use your own, which can make the seemingly one-note experience more fun.
I recommend this game.
