Microtransactions is a dirty word in my home. Now that Lumines Live is going to REQUIRE them to enjoy the full game experience I’m about ready to lose it. Lumines is one of the finest games on the PSP and it provides a great gaming experience. The Xbox 360 version, however, looks to provide an incomplete one…unless you’re willing to pay a little bit of extra cash.
When you download Lumines Live you’ll get a game that is fully functional, but is missing stages. You will be able to play up to a certain point and then will either be forced to quit or download additional levels for a price. The whole idea of this really pisses me off and I’ve already decided to pass on the game completely. After spending about $15 for the game, you’ll be forced to shell out a bit more to keep playing. Great.
Quoted from Official Xbox Magazine: You’ll be prompted to buy the Puzzle/Mission Pack (400 MS Points extra)” once you start “getting on a roll with Mission Mode. Also, in the VS CPU mode, when you are “knee-deep” in the VS CPU mode, “you’ll be blocked by signage declaring: ‘You need the VS CPU Pack (300 Points).
Simply ridiculous.
