Meteos Wars coming to XBLA this week News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Q Entertainment will finally release Meteos Wars on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, after the puzzler missed its original October launch window.
Meteos Wars continues what the DS title started so admirably back in 2005.
The idea is to create vertical or horizontal lines of three or more matching alien symbols, which fall from the top of the screen. Once completed, these lines turn into rockets and shoot toward the top of the screen, taking all above symbols with them. Complete more lines while this is going on and the rocket speeds up. But fail, like I did with my original description, and they'll run out of steam and sink back down.
Meteos Wars, as we told you before, costs 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) and can be played either on your own, or with a friend - online or on the same console.
You can expect our thoughts soon.

So the twist is in the fact that the control scheme will be bobbins without a stylus?
Cos the gameplay mechanics are the same... |

Move left/right with left control stick, drag block up and down holding 'A' whilst moving thumbstick up and down*.
Get annoyed because it's not easy without a sty... pen thingy that's been mentioned way too much in the above posts. :) Lumines felt dissapointing on the 360 compared to the PSP, hope Meteos feels fresher than just being a remake. * - Speculation only, may not actually be control scheme. |

More research required! Regardless, love Meteos and if the control scheme is good, then I will probably get it! |

I played a mobile phone version of Meteos and was pleasantly surprised.
This could be interesting |

Oh and it's got to have 4 player mode right? Even the DS had that! Right?
