You just described my affair with every rhythm game ever, even the ones you describe as visual.

Yes, Rhythm Heaven is all original stuff, mostly light and perky tunes, simple enough in composure. There's only... what... five songs with actual words to them? Something like that. They try to skip around to give them western feels, island feels, spacey feels for different ones, but overall the main idea is that they're simple and easy to find a beat to. But still hard.

I've already given my point of view on visual rhythm games versus non-visual ones recently, so I won't repeat it. Elite Beat Agents used the visual aspect to hone my sense of rhythm greatly, to the point where Rhythm Heaven is not utterly impossible for me. Also, the second Ouendan game has a feature that takes away most of the visual aspect.

Yeah, I just got stuck on Canned Heat and Material Girl and can't ever progress. Hard is way hard.

I can do some of their Additions blind, though.

Same here. It's a shame no one ever thought of using the battle system ever again.

Like with Legend of Legaia...What's that? Legend of Legaia 2? Which changes the system drastically into something horrible? Doesn't count.

I believe you didn't understand what I said. I can't get past Canned Heat nor Material Girl on Hard. Ever. It's simply too hard. I'm happy enough with completing the game on Medium, it was crazy hard enough already, Hard is just ridiculous.

I suppose I should have acknowledged that much, but I feel guilty every time rhythm games are brought up and I remember my time with RH.

The DJ Max games on PSP are pretty cool rhythm games. Damn hard too. The first two came out in the US under the name DJ Max Fever. There's also a couple of MMOs, which are just the same rhythm gameplay only online and multiplayer, and levelling up. There were two other PSP games released in Korea recently, one of which is for new players and the other for experience players. Well worth checking out DJ Max Fever if you have a PSP. There's a PSP demo for DJ Max Portable 2 floating about too.

Not to mention a DJ Max Technica arcade game currently beta-testing here in the states.

I've been looking to get DJ Max Fever, but that requires a PSP investment. Still, its the closest thing to a portable beatmania there will ever be, so that investment might not be too far off.

I know. There are songs on there that I wouldn't like otherwise, but in conjunction with secret government agents, ninjas, fire breathing golems and aliens it stops being just about the music and also about the story. That said, Material Girl still sucks and I have resolved to not play it until I'm sure I can beat it. Also, what the hell kind of dancing are they doing on Makes No Difference? I actually got around to watching the agents while I play, and now I can't do that song anymore because I'm laughing too hard at the utterly idiotic "dance" moves.

PCD · 06-08-2009, 06:10 PM

Oh dude man I taught myself that dance. It's so completely stupid and that is what makes it WORTH IT. Working on getting the Material Girl dance down, too. One way or another, you gotta admit that Agent J knows how to make it work.
