IMO Beatmania would have done better if Konami didn't bullshit the release. I'm playing it through now (I forget why) and there are a few things that I think might of helped it. First of all, the interface needs to be scraped, why couldn't BMUS look like any of the japanese counterparts? The unlock system should be redone as well, as much as I like the awesome, cheery, and out-there japanese songs (Sigsig and the like) coming from a sales standpoint it would have done better with some more mainstream stuff that people recognized, and not WaveGroup ripoffs.
Maybe my opinion doesn't count because I havn't got to experiment much with the other games yet, I should be getting DJmax soon and I'm watching this thread to see what else I should try. |
