Buena Vista Games Unveils Soundtrack for ?Lumines II?

Buena Vista Games has announced details of the soundtrack and music videos that will appear in the music-based puzzle game, "Lumines II", from Q Entertainment. As the first handheld video game to feature artists' actual music videos, "Lumines II" for the PSP system is a mesmerizing sequel to "Lumines". Music videos appearing in the game will include (artist and song):

- Beck ? "Black Tambourine"
- Black Eyed Peas ? "Pump It"
- Chemical Brothers ? "Star Guitar"
- Fatboy Slim ? "Gangster Trippin'"
- The Go! Team ? "Bottle Rocket"

Two additional songs will also appear on the game's soundtrack:

"Lumines II" is the sequel to the puzzle-based video game, "Lumines". To play "Lumines II", gamers control squares made of four smaller block pieces that are dropped into the playing field, one at a time, to form same-color rectangles. The vertical "timeline" sweeps across the playing field from left to right, and wipes the same-color rectangles from the playing field. Unmatched blocks pile up and the game ends when the pile gets to the top of the playing screen. Advance through many action-packed levels, each with its own musical theme and sound effects.

"Lumines II" also features music written exclusively for the game by Japanese artist Shinichi Osawa, also known as Mondo Grosso, who provided the opening track for the original "Lumines." Tracks from Ken Ishii (DJ/producer) and Techriders, both from Japan, are also in the game. With more than 60 stylish skins, wireless two-player ad hoc gameplay, all new battle modes, sensational new 3D backgrounds, and all-new graphics and streaming video, "Lumines II" promises to deliver an addictive video game experience on a whole new level.
