Not the full game, but not a trial either. New trend for games?
But here's the thing, you pay for Lumines Live, yet you don't get the full game. What you get is 3/4 of the game. Upon trying to play the 6th (out of around 40) puzzles, I recieve a message: "to play the FULL puzzle mode, please purchase the additional content " This message is one of many that are riddled throughout Lumines. So, if you pay for Lumines, it can't be a trial, and if you don't get the full game, how can be the full game? So is it a new trend of things to come? They had the content ready, the pack was available a day or so after the game's launch, and it was supposed to be available the same day, so why not have it included? Imagine buying Mass Effect, or Gears of War, only to find out you have 3/4 the levels and must pay to recieve the rest. Not acceptable.
The core gameplay is phenominal, but the presentation is lacking in an extreme way.
