Looks like the Lumines Live! critics will get to have some more fun next week when the Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday offering is some of the game levels that should have been in the original version.

One bone thrown our way is special promotional pricing on two levels and a free skin, all for a limited time. The promotion pricing for the two levels is 100 points (300 after February 21st).

Here are the details on the levels:

Heavenly Star Skin

Cost: For a limited time only, available free for Xbox Live Gold members from Jan. 24 - Feb 21, 2007. (Price after February 21, 2007: 150 MS Points)

Performed by a new group called Genki Rockets and produced by Q Entertainments own Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the song's catchy and uplifting tune combined with equally striking video has caught the attention of many gamers and was recently nominated Best Song at the 2006 Spike TV Video Game Awards. Gamers can enjoy the music video in stunning HD and 5.1 surround sound as they play their way through the falling blocks.

VS CPU Pack

Cost: For a limited time only, 100 MS Points starting Jan. 24 Feb 21, 2007. (Price after February 21, 2007: 300 MS Points)

Show off your skills by challenging the CPU. This new game pack also includes a stylish skin and character designs that match the theme of each of the stages. A special bonus skin is waiting for you at the very end of the challenge.

Puzzle/Mission Pack

Cost: For a limited time only, 100 MS Points starting Jan. 24 - Feb 21, 2007. (Price after February 21, 2007: 300 MS Points)

Lumines Live! is not just about dropping blocks. In Puzzle Mode, you must try to create a certain shape by using the blocks. In Mission Mode, you will be given a mission to clear all blocks within a specified amount of moves. With an additional 90 puzzles to solve and 40 missions to clear, you wont want to miss this Pack. (The first 10 puzzles and missions are included in the Standard Edition; by purchasing the Pack, the total number is 100 puzzles and 50 missions)
