A group of people who were inspired by ITG felt they need to continue the legacy. I wanted to be a member of the stepchart team before this ITG Rebirth thing became a reality, but was turned down. So, instead of making charts for ITG Rebirth, I'll just be playing, and critiquing them. You can download the pack at

Here is my review(Singles):
Charly:
Song: 8/10. I didn't like the song, but after a few plays it grew on me, and I began liking it.
Easy: 7/10. Not bad, not bad at all. Worked well with the song. Nice n' easy, and flowed nicely.
Medium: 7/10. Again, not bad. Nothing too ridiculous, nothing I found awkward in the song, and it had a nice little pattern to it.
Hard: 8/10. I personally felt this was the better chart on this song. Had a nice tricky feel to it, and I liked the use of mines (not too much, just enough), and the overall fun for the stepchart was there. I love the last 16 or so arrows at the end of the song.
Expert: 6/10. My least favorite chart for this song. Too noisy at some points. Mines are used unneccesarily in more areas than not, and I just felt it too thrown together without taking the patience with it.
Ice Cold:
Song: 9/10. Great find! I absolutely love this song.
Easy: 8/10. I find this chart a very unique easy chart. Original, and has a fun factor to it. I like how the holds work with the singers voice (for the most part), and I just love how it follows his voice and the beat very accurately.
Medium: 8/10. Pretty much everything I liked about the Easy chart is the same for the Medium chart. This has a great fun factor.
Hard: 7/10. The late middle to ending part of this song is the good part of the chart, most of the beginning and the beginning of the middle lack the certain something the end of this song has. The LRMineLRMineLRMine pattern is the only thing I liked a lot in the beginning part of the song. The Rolls feel very out of place. I have mixed feelings about the 1/8 holds in the song. At some parts I feel they're fun, but at others I feel they're a drag. Overall I like the chart more than I dislike it, but it has its flaws.
Expert: 8/10. This is my second favorite Expert chart out of the 4. It is VERY ITG 9-esque. It just fits right in with my ITG PC very well, and it makes me more excited to see the future of ITG Rebirth because it shows me you guys are trying to keep the feel of ITG there. Now the only major problem I have with this chart is that the parts where he says "Ice cold, you're ice cold," there are the 3 arrow 1/16ths. They seem an 8th of a beat too early. They work, but they just might feel more comfortable to do if they fit the music exactly. Great chart nontheless.
One Thousand Cranes Song: 8.2/10 Nice song. Very calming and relaxing. Something we need more of in ITG.
Easy: 8/10. One of the more professional feeling easy chart.
Medium: 9/10. The best Medium chart out of all 4 songs. The rolls were fit perfectly in their two areas with the song. The arrows flowed very nicely to the song, and it was all very clean and smooth and like the Easy chart, very professional feeling.
Hard: 7.5/10. Very interesting. The use of mines are nice, but in some areas (the 1/16th mine patterns) I didn't care for. The area with mostly holds I didn't care for either. The rest was nice. I liked the gallop-ish part, as it fit perfectly with the music.
Expert: 8.8/10. This is my favorite expert chart out of all 4. I feel it was executed nicely, the mines were not used to death, nor were the holds. Some parts in the beginning felt awkward, but once we got to the middle through the end, it was a great chart, and life was good.
Stop the Music:
Song: 6.9/10. My least favorite song out of the 4, but I still can find some enjoyable parts in it for me. Not bad enough that I wont play it again, but it's not on my "must play this round" list.
Easy: 8/10. I like it. Has good step patterns to keep me entertained, and some nice stuff to challenge the newer players to help them advance to the harder levels quicker.
Medium: 8.5/10. My second favorite Medium chart in the game. Fun factor is there, has a very nice style, and I love the similarities it has with the Easy chart for this song. Will be easier for the people who can master Easy on this song to go to Medium. Steps follow the song nicely.
Hard: 8.9/10. Wow, this had some great fun factor! The steps just felt right for this song. I really can't see it any other way to but them other than to remove the roll in that song. It doesn't feel right. But other than that this is my favorite hard chart in the game.
Expert: 5.9/10. Hmm, I have real trouble with liking this chart. The mines are bad. Too many. Not rhyme or reason they are there but to just be there. No pattern to them. The steps are not fun. They're a bit annoying, and the feel I get with them isn't a good one. Very little fun factor to this for me. Again, the roll in it feels off. I don't care for it.
Backgrounds:
They're all great! Very nice looking! Clean, and very professional! Overall I'd give them all a combine score of 8.9/10. Some look too similar to the ITG ones, which docks them down for creativity.
Overall score for this pack:
7.8/10. I really like this pack, and I am eager to see the entire ITG Rebirth to be released.
