Default Why You Play IIDX?

orangeloungeradio, I was listening to it. One way or another, it ended up posing the question: why do I play IIDX? What is it about IIDX that makes me play it more than say Pop'N?

For me, it's 4 things:
*Culture
*Songlist
*Swag
*Controller

So, anyone else? (sorry for lack or detail, I'm freakin BEAT!)

I really just like the concept - it IS fun. It's different, and the music is hella fun to listen to.

I play both games fairly regulary. but beatmania has a bit more challenge than pop'n and I like the beatmania song list more. That said I love the "classics" in pop'n, it is just the difference in the song lists.

Why?

- The collection of songs
- The variety in the genre of the songs
- The videos (they can range from artistic to simple)
- The controller (especially the turntable)
- For fun (the most important reason)
...and any other reason that I did not list here.

I play because its the more challenging of the bemani games. I love the art and music as well.

I would much prefer to have drummania though. I dont think theres anything close to matching its closeness to actually playing an instrument.

Because the music kicks-ass and the game is fun. Plus it's a great game if you are looking for a challenge. Even if you can clear all of the single mode songs, if you have another controller you could move on to doubles.

It's challenging
It's fun for me
I like a lot of the music
The controller is pretty awesome
It's got a decent amount of people playing it
Konami retains the same scoring system each game, unlike DDR
The artwork is great

Easily my favorite music game at the moment.

It's too damn good to explain the whole thing: that's why I play it. xD

Two things that keep me playing the game is: Music Selection and Difficulty.

It is simple for me.

Its kinda like X. Visual and audio surge to play with your brain (damn I want a DJ dao RE). Just no after effects or chance of death ... well maybe Carpel Tunnel
