Lumines was one the PSP's biggest surprise hits, and to this day it remains the best-ranked game for Sony's handheld platform on GameRankings.com (although the new Sid Meier's Pirates! is also soaring high). After releasing the Lumines II sequel last November, the game's creators from Q Entertainment - led by Tetsuya Mizuguchi - are about to make a comeback in Europe this February. Their new PSP game, Every Extend Extra (EEE) is a completely new experience that promises to be just as "addictive", and even more "hypnotic" and "explosive", featuring an exuberating blend of visuals, sound and gameplay.
"Every Extend Extra is a unique "puzzle shooter", brought to the PlayStation Portable by Q Entertainment, the creators of the critically acclaimed hit Lumines. Every Extend Extra delivers an addictive gameplay experience through a fusion of arcade-style shooting action, cutting-edge music and visuals. Players evade enemy attacks and then use perfect timing to blast their foes in a colorful display of explosive chain reactions. The bigger the chain reaction results in the higher the score and the larger the rewards." Last we checked, EEE's European release date was set February 9 (the game already shipped in the US). In preparation for the launch, we were sent a whole bunch of exclusive content, most of which we posted today on Playfuls for your visual delight. We'll start off easy, with some psychedelic screenshots and wallpapers.
Once you feel your brain starting to swirl, you can safely move on to watching these mind-bending gameplay trailers (one of which is available for online streaming, the rest are in the full .zip pack). And to wrap it all up, we also have an EEE tutorial trailer running for nearly two minutes, in which you'll be shown what the game is all about and a few hints at keeping the whole on-screen madness in check. The mind literally boggles!
