Yea, been gone for quite a while cause of outside commitments.
Brief overview:
- The engine is surprisingly fluid on this port.
- The scrolling speeds are different than PStwo/arcade due to smaller lanes and widescreen implementation so expect to use lower speed mods than in it's console/arcade counterparts.
- The timing is a little late. (Kind of surprising as it was expected to be earlier.)
- Adventure Mode (Their name for the game's mission mode) is totally f*cking tedious and over 50 songs have to be unlocked using this mode.
- All 9 button charts are unaltered, which is both good and bad. Good cause it's the legit notecharts, bad cause some chords and charts are simply going to be difficult to score on since it's a PSP.
Oh, this release has one of the highest week 1 sales for Bemani console releases since 2008 which is again, good and bad. Reason for saying bad is that this game's success may doom any chance of getting a proper release of Adventure and newer on a home (I.E. nonportable) console.
