Obscure rhythm game.

If you like the games of rhythm (PaRappa the Rapper? I prefer Amplitude) check it out. It's weird, but fun. Basically, there's 3 phases to each stage, charge, battle, and final. In charge, you use the analog stick to follow the line and press the buttons at certain times to charge up your health.

As seen here.

In battle, you dodge using the 4 "shape" buttons when it reaches the middle dot in the screen.

Also seen here.

Attacking is just like charging. Except if you don't hit the circles, YOU take damage.

Final, is once again, like attacking. Basically just follow through until the end and don't mess up too much or else you die.

Play it. Now.

I played it on a demo disc once.
It was terribly hard. Devastated.

Heh, you think that's hard, master mode will make you want to cut your hands off and find more nimble ones.

Oh god.
That game.
I wish I had that. I played it at my friend's house one night. BADASS.
But yes, it is insanely hard. D:

I remember this very well. Guitar Freaks and Guitar Hero are both similar, but this is in a much zanier vein.

Oh my God.

Hoff has this game and all he ever wants to do is play it. He is amazing at it. This game is crazy.

You know, they apparently stopped making it and the value keeps going up.

How much is it worth? Because with my 10% discount I can buy it off gamefly for $35

Homestarrunnernet · Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 5:27 am Post subject:

That's a good amount. I got mine for 30 bucks.

I got mine on ebay. none of the stores around here ordered enough copies so they were always sold out. I think I got it for 35

I'm also contemplating buying the soundtrack from ebay
