Guitar Freaks has always struck me as highly unforgiving, and nothing I've seen from V has changed that. It's incredibly easy to fail, especially at the level you need to set for any of your scores to count. That, and raw Japanese-ness of a lot of the music, are probably going to be much bigger obstacles than any GH-related "ripoff" prejudice.

I still think this has a chance, definitely more than Beatmania. I mean, c'mon, it's guitar. What could be more mainstream? And the music, on the whole, is far more familiar to our tastes than any other line, even DDR (cf. Right On Time, Silly Girl, or Summertime Cruisin' to Wild Rush, Gradiusic Cyber, Speed Over Beethoven, or Maximizer).

If they put in some beginner-helping feature a la Easy, that could clinch it.

PM 13...geez, I'm barely a third of the way through 12 at this point. I gotta get away from Dynasty Warriors more often.
