I finally got to see the US DDR Extreme... Honestly, it kinda dissapointed me... They took out many of the songs, and I personally despise the new format. What's up with having only, what was it, 70 songs? The Japanese version has over 110!! I have to admit, though, there are some things about it that I do really like. The eye toy is amusing. The mission mode is pretty fun. Also, there are a couple of songs that I wish I had on my Japanese version (one song in particular, that song from Silent Hill 3... I love that song!) All in all, I declare the Japanese version better, but the American version is still pretty darn good.
And that was my entirely random critiqueing of the game!
AWA was a lot of fun. There were many cosplayers there, and I wished so badly that I had been able to cosplay as Lord Ilpalazzo from Excel Saga... I got to play lots'o Bemani games there, too! Guitar Freaks, Drummania, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, so many wonderful games...
I need to get a DDR pad myself... I haven't had one since I left for college... that was nearly 2 months ago! I also want to get Pop'n Music 10 (which comes out next month), the Pop'n Music controller (not the crappy home version controller, the one from
www.desktoparcade.com), and Beatmania IIDX 8th Style (which is also being released next month)... also, there is Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater, Gran Turismo 4, so many good games coming out soon... I can't wait for the PSP, either... the Playstation Japan website already has an official page for it... such beautiful screenshots...
Well, good luck on finding a job, suzu! May your video-gaming needs be met!
