TGS 08: Lumines Supernova for the PSN is a lot like those other Lumines games

While this PSN version of the title will feature new modes -- including one called "Dig Down" and an enhanced synthesizer mode to create your own background music -- the demo on the TGS floor was barebones single-player. There were some new skins and music, but a lot of familiar favorites seem to be making their return (including the Mexican jumping bean theme).

Oddly enough, the game's controls seemed to be a bit sluggish, particularly when compared to the PSP version of the title. The build was only 90% complete, and some tweaks could change that when the game is released, but I expected the game to feel a bit better using the DualShock 3's d-pad. 

The title doesn't appear to support online multiplayer modes, and for those interested in that kind of thing, there will be no trophy support. But regardless of the fact that I already own the game on a handful of platforms, my Lumines obsession knows no boundaries, and I'll be picking it up when it hits North America later this year.
