A nice video review of the Pop'n Music series. - Page 2

I find it rather painful and unenjoyable.

I understand w/ playing w/ a normal PS2 controller (you won't get ANYWHERE near the AC experience), but I'm playing just fine w/ my CS controller. I'm beating songs in the lower 30's w/ it. I can't afford an ASC controller nor the stuff to build one.

I wonder if he has any other Bemani games...

He has played pretty much anything Bemani. He is one of my best friends.

In fact, to the right of the stand where he keeps his PS2 and what not, there is a GF controller, and on top of the stand is a KBM controller.

Not to mention the fact that he also likes beatmania (5 key and IIDX) and has an Empress machine to play in town (at my arcade.)

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like the review. #11 has some of the best music for me personally, but then again, it was the FIRST Pop'n Game I played. RAZMA gave it to me. :P

Anyways, you all really made my day.

But yeah... I have a lot of Bemani and rhythm games with their peripherals: Keyboardmania, Beatmania, Ta Tam Paradise, Tomoyasu Hotei's Stolen Song, DDR... I love this hobby.

Hey, glad to see you're a member of this site!

Thought of doing some other Bemani reviews?

noriaki_kakyouin · 06-28-2009, 01:28 AM

I might, but I am not sure which ones to do. Drummania and Guitar Freaks are basically Guitar Hero... and Beatmania came out in the states. And I do imports that were not released in the US. So I dunno which ones I would do.

zonic505 · 06-28-2009, 07:41 AM

Keyboardmania & ParaParaParadise never came to the states.

Now that I think about it, did you ever mention anything in your review about how since the game was made by Konami/Bemani, some songs in Pop'n Music also appeared in DDR?

Oh, & just saw your review on Nekketsu! Street Basket. *SIGH* I wish more games in the Kunio series made it over here. River Street Ransom was a fun game.
