Hello to everyone! Among games that I really like playing when I'm at the arcade would be those that you can play along with music. Be it with a guitar, drum(s), dance pad, motion sensors or anything that you can add to the sort of arcade game where you play along with music.
But things change and I seldom go to the arcades to play games like that. Would often look ridiculous if I do since I'm not that keen on embarassing myself infront of other arcade goers
Fortunately, consoles can also play games like these. Dance Revo series and also Guitar Hero were among such games I played. Yet, things change again and we now enjoy hand held gaming.
I particularly have a PSP and play any game that I might fancy but, when I realized that a game like those I use to play at the arcades was also available on the PSP, I immediately went ahead to acquire it.
So from the point of acquiring the game and making it work up to now, I'm playing DJ Max Portable 2. I know there was another title before this one but, I couldn't get one of those though, hopefully, I could still do. I am really enjoying it, even though I'm not as responsive as I used to on playing these games.
Have you played this game? How do you find it? Do you find it entertaining or a waste of time? What tracks do you usually play if you do have it on your PSP?
Thanks for sharing!

Heya, not that familiar with the latest games nowadays. Kinda stopped with the craze of Kingdom Hearts on PS2 so yeah Im definitely been living under a rock when it comes to these topics.LOL! I am aware about Guitar Hero and would love to have one! Wanted to trade my PS2 for a PSP, (shoudlve opted for the PSP, darn!) Anyways, aside from the drum arcade thingy(forgot the name) and good old dance revo, the latest that I came close with Guitar Hero is Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 3. An online game and use the keyboard as a guitar.LOL Ive seen those sensor arcades. They might be good where they invented the game but seriously, why would people invent something that makes them look dumb? But then again, I guess thats just me.LOL!

Under a rock, you say..?
You'd definitely like guitar hero, I'm liking it even without the guitar while playing
I think Circuit City had a promo before wherein you can trade PSXs, PS Ones, PS2, working or not, at their shops and you can avail of some great discounts upon buying either a PSP or another PS2 (slim I think..) don't know if the promo still is going up to now.
If that drum game that you are referring isn't percussion freaks (a complete drum set with even the pedal at the bottom) or Taiko Drum Master (One drum wherein you either hit it at the center or at the rim of the drum), I have no idea what that is. Dance Revo could really take some sweat out of you
Well, some who are really are good at those motion sensor games would really do dance numbers that are more intricate compared with what you can do with those dance pads from Dance Revo.. well, that's just what I was able to see whenever I go to a close by mall when classes are over..

What?!?! When did this promo happen?? You're sure they'd take the consoles even if it isnt working?? Man, I needed that. My PS2's not working right now. (parents still dont know) Not sure if it just needs cleaning(doubt it) or the lens are scratched(more likely). Mine is the slim one which as we know is fragile.tsk3 Now, Im regretting buying it especially when I see that PSP is now only P11,000(not sure if its still brand new but a PSP is still a PSP).
You've got the name right, it was Percussion Freaks, aced one of the beginner songs and my cousin hates me for it. Kinda forgot about the Taiko Drum Master. At first we didnt know that we were supposed to tap the rims. I mean when Im using the left drum then I should tap the left rim of the drum and not the right or the center. It took us a while to get that.LOL! But we were able to finish the song Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani without any mistakes.
You could be right about the sensor arcades and I have seen some good players but still it looks weird. Probably most recommended for the more daring players or for choreographers.
well, that's just what I was able to see whenever I go to a close by mall when classes are over.. Wait, you're still studying or you were just pertaining to your experience when you were still studying..?

Oh! Well, cant do anything about the promo now...T_T
Thanks for the tips..no clue on how to realign lenses, dont even wanna touch it fearing it might break or something.LOL Its now in my cupboard. Just 'packed' it last week. I miss playing actually but just dont have the time anymore. Ill keep the modification thing in mind when I take it out again(hopefully next summer).
To tell you honestly, I dont really know the full specs of the latest consoles(told been living under a rock;maybe just a shady rock^_^). As long as they give a good gaming experience, all the extra stuff are just great bonuses.
Oh, so there's a Japanese version huh? Wasnt aware of that..is there a version that has both English and Japanese songs? I dont remember the song selection much since the last time I played was about 3-4 years ago, dont exactly have them here. I still remember the coins and the monkeys though(or was that just my imagination??)...What's 'auto-pedal' exactly?Is that a cheat or is that available in one of the set-ups?..Took me a while to get used to tapping and kicking at the same time. I felt like a horse kicking and kicking on the pedal and I almost fell out of the chair at one time from all the kicking!LOL
