I honestly can't believe how pathetic this romp is. Realize this: you're all a bunch of rabid fanboys. It doesn't matter if the game(s) suck, you're all gonna buy 'em anyway. This is just as bad as the whiny anime fans. "OMG I can't believe you gave Fullmetal Alchemist a 2 out of 5! This is bigotry!!!"
I hate to break it to ya, but X-Play is a review show meant to cater to the greater audience, not just anime fans, and not just Bemani fans. Not everyone in this world is a Bemani buff. They're reviews are unbiased, from a median standpoint, telling it like it is, informing the general consensus (or those not as informed as yourselves) on whether or not a game is actually any good. They're doing there job, so quit whining
You seem to like to point out Guitar Hero a lot. Well, my friends, whether you like it or not, it is a great game that set fresh presedence in the music game genre. Come on, how many iterations of Bemani games have they're been now? It's all pretty much the same freakin' game, with new music or some BS gimmick attached to it. Guitar Hero, my friends, was new. Bemani cannot be king forever, as harsh as that may sound.
And in closing, I'd just like to say: What the hell does it matter? They could rate the game a 1, and you'd all still buy it, just cause it's got the Bemani label on it; The exact same way I run out and buy a game with Square Enix on the side (yeah, I bought Dirge of Cerberus :P). We're all a bunch of suckers, plain and simple.
One more thing: I'm NOT a G4 fanboy or the like; honestly, I don't watch the network at all anymore. But I just couldn't sit here and listen to all the hating going on when it's all complete ignorance. X-Play is doing its job just fine, bringing those who watch it "brutally honest" reviews. You don't wanna hear what they have to say? Change the stupid channel. Seriously, people.
