i just downloaded the trial and played two songs.

in the trial you get some game modes and three songs to try at different difficulties.

i have to say that i am underwhelmed and unimpressed. it is one of the most lack lustre rhythm type games i've played and there is nothing compelling or exciting about it.

easy is ridiculously easy and hard really isn't too challenging.

i think the wednesday after guitar hero 2 may have been a bad time to release it as GH2 is far superior and more fun and since it is so close to release it is hard to justify the points for something that is similar but no where near as fun

it looks ok, the fireworks certainly aren't breathtaking by any stretch of the imagination.

the audio is odd as well, the music tracks that i played really aren't great and i have no desire to go back to it and hear them again.

it may be just me, some of you may like it but there will be no points buying for me today

[wicky]

is this out or just on partnernet ?

Ah nevermind should have read the market place updates thread first

I can see me purchasing this tbh

[watusi]

i agree, its not really up to much and songs seems quite ****e. It hurts my eye's too.

two ways they could have made it better:

1) use more than four buttons like in daigasso brothers on DS
2) I wanna play the tune, not fire off some fireworks. Its no fun when any mistakes don't affect the music, it makes it feel less involved

I likez it - Just went and bought points to unlock it !!

I'll report back after some more play but initial impressions are I like it - They shoulda had guitar control in there ><

Boom Boom Rocket

Its out and it 800ms points.

Well its a great fun little game i didnt know what to expect as i hadnt read anything about it. I knew it was by ea with some of the geowars people. Its a great rythem game you time the presses of buttons to the music and you are greeted with a nice fireworks display with each button press. There seems alot of room for high scoreathons on this one.

Shame i was quite looking forward to this, oh well every extend extra extreme is my next live purchase then :P

So you guys have gotten A** on every song, then?

If you think you're good just because you can clear a song, this game isn't for you.

If you're a Bemani player obsessed with getting your SS, or your AAA on every song, you're going to absolutely love this.

I think the reason everyone's complaining is because of the rhythm games they've been playing - Games which don't reward you for the actual accuracy for hitting the note like Beatmania, etc. I just got 100&#37; hit ratio on a Hard song but only scored a B, because a lot of my notes were off time.

I played, I immediately bought. Don't be put off by the negative comments because this is a brilliant game for you score freaks.



Come on, stop slacking!

[FreelancePolice]

oooo i am a score freak so i might be tempted. Is it only 10 tracks?

[Silvergun X]

Unfortunately so - The songs that are listed in the demo are all the songs in the game at the moment, but there'll be more coming with DLC I presume.

[Bleeders]

Score Attacks + Rhythm Games = FTW!!11!!

[Silvergun X]

Precisely.

I'm really hoping the competition picks up soon.

[Jebus]

I'm pleasantly suprised by this and tempted into spending 800 on it...

The thing is, Jetpack redefined value for money and now almost every game should be that price range. I feel that value for money, again, this ISN'T anywhere near the Jetpack value.

How many songs does this have in full btw, and are we likely to see more coming at a premium DLC rate?

Very tempted though, nice little game.

[Silvergun X]

I can't do Toccata and Funk on hard.

Where are my speed mods!!!

Is it worth plugging in the guitar and trying it? Surely the fret buttons are just mapped to the console so to speak, for example the red and green fret buttons are just that, the red and green buttons on the pad...?

[SuperBeatBoy]

im going to buy it. i think its pretty great, reminds me of the fun i was having just playing ddr with a joypad. i dont think its as good or addictive as refuelled though.
