Wow, I really thought there couldn't be any greater show of disrespect for not only disabled groups but also cultural groups...
This touches home for me not only in the sense that I come from an asian family (while not japanese, I am chinese), but I also have a physically and mentally disabled brother. The whole comment about Para Para Paradise being 'the first dance game for parapelegics' is appalling and an outrageous insult. I bet anything that if I showed this clip to the people at Fraser or any other disabled persons support group that they would all be in favor of a lawsuit against G4 for its comments.
I, like everyone else, also despise the lack of research in their reviews. I think it's a pretty well known fact in the bemani community by now that if it had not been for the success of the very first beatmania back in 1997, we wouldn't have Dance Dance Revolution, beatmania IIDX, Guitar Freaks, Drummania, Guitar Hero, or any other majorly successful music game in the market today.
I intend to write an email detailing my thoughts and prompt rebuttal of their remarks and forward this video to Fraser. I want to see if any kind of lawsuit can be brought up over that comment alone. It pisses me off that much...
