So did a turn-based Mario rpg.
And what about Lumines? It's a terrific puzzle game, possibly the best game on the system.

Quote:9 Presentation
Tetsuya Mizuguchi is known for putting together as much an experience as a game, and Lumines is no less the whole trip for being a launch game on Sony's new handheld.
8 Graphics
The shape and the sound of puzzle gaming is rarely the focus, but Q Entertainment fused the external design to the gaming experience here with great care.
9 Sound
Even for those who have no desire to dance to this music, the selection of tracks and the variety of music is mondo engrossing.
9 Gameplay
A brand new concept in puzzle gaming, Lumines is an earnest addiction that's elegantly simple and disarmingly challenging.
8 Lasting Appeal
A few missing options hurt the appeal of playing it too often, but it's a very diggable puzzle game that you can pick back up years from now and enjoy.
