Of course everytime someone comes in and does something better than Konami or makes a change that they don't, Konami whips out the lawsuit and has a frenzy. I've never gotten to play an Ez2DJ machine but I would love to. It looks pretty entertaining and I want to use that foot pedal.
On topic: I believe that IIDX's older styles would probably do better being as it wasn't so "trance" back then. Hell, to me IIDX and beatmania are two completely different games. With beatmania you had actual things that you would scratch to and stuff you would expect to see in a DJ simulation game. With IIDX you have violins and drums and whatever the hell else they're plugging in that I don't pay that much attention to as I play. I love IIDX deeply and it's ultimately my game of choice (next to pop'n because pop'n's music genres are way spread out), and I just don't think O2Jam or DJ MAX can really put up a good fight. Obviously BMUS failed, but O2Jam is hard as fuck and DJ MAX seems pretty easy until you play stuff like Astro Fight SC. But then again, it's all a matter of opinion. |
