Any Good Rhythm Games?

Ha, someone else who likes Space Channel 5, never thought I'd see the day. I remember being made fun of for buying it because it was regarded so poorly where I lived, so much that they reduced the price to $5 a week after the game came out. I loved playing that game on my Dreamcast, it was a unique game and I never recalled seeing anything like it at the time...the controller was not made for it at all but it was fun nonetheless. My friend came over and ruined it by using the autoplay code, needless to say, I didn't invite him to my house when I imported Part 2 years later XD

I used to enjoy DDR a bit back when I was younger but I've been a heavy guy for a long time and when I was my worst was when it was a big craze in the arcades. Sadly I could never really enjoy the game as much as others because I couldn't move around that well, but I remember going to the arcade with a couple of friends on a Saturday and we'd make a whole day out of being at the mall, we'd always end our day playing it at least once...god we were horrible at it. Hmm...I've lost quite a bit of weight since those days, so maybe I could actually play it again. Though, a game like that is really much better if you play it with others more than just yourself, we have no arcades around here anymore except for Dave & Busters at the Providence Place Mall but I don't think they have any DDR machines.

One game I used to play constantly that nobody I knew ever played was Frequency for the Playstation 2. I loved that game and played it for hours on end whenever I came home from school. I like rhythm based games mostly because I like anything that gives you a challenge. Many games are fun but you can give me something that forces me to improve my skills and focus any day!

 

Right, I forgot they remade it for the Dreamcast collection. I think it also came out on the PS2 when the Dreamcast ended it's production because if you want Part 2 on the DC you need to import it, though I'm sure like with Shenmue II, someone has replaced the audio files with the English ones so you can burn a modified copy of the game for playing it on the Dreamcast. Same here, I saw a video of Ulala's costume on Miku thought it was a custom mod or something until I played the game and unlocked it and was like WHAA?!?! There is a video on youtube where someone made an edit with her dancing to the main theme, they imported it to DT2nd. I'm still looking for it XD

I was so glad they threw that in as a nice little treat for those fans of Space Channel 5 ^_^

Now I remember they talked about a third game at one point a few years back but nothing ever moved on it. Also now since Michael Jackson passed away, it might be hard to do I imagine. Space Michael was an interesting character indeed, I don't know if you could make it without him appearing at least once. It would be great to see another entry, maybe something with the kinect where you can move to the beat this time around, on the plus side at least Ulala and Pudding are making cameos in other games still today, so the interest isn't completely gone. ...well for Ulala...I don't really know who would be a fan of Pudding...but then again that's just my opinion :P

 

Fair enough, to each their own I suppose :P

 

That's the great thing for this type of genre, there is something for everyone on practically everything ^_^

 

Melody's Escape on Steam is a pretty neat rhythm game which let's you play your own mp3 songs as some kind of "Trip.Beat Runner" like game. It also has a lot of Vocaloid skins and other anime characters. The Community Workshop is huge!



(The player in this video uses some kind of dark color sheme, there are also more colorful ones and even for the buttons there are also skins which represent the PS controller button colors etc.)

 

omg love live, i also began to play this game just because Snow Halation. Damn you SiIvaGunner!!!

 

maybe Ray was tweaking some settings on the forum or could be a small bug on the software. Let me know if that happens again.

well I'm watching the account "SilvaGunner" on YouTube (parody of "GilvaSunner"). he's apparently "uploading high quality rips" from games but each of his videos is either a joke, a meme, a mashup or just literal fun (for example "Burning Town - Shantae" he uploaded was an audio file of people screaming while fire burned).
I originally found that account when ORA posted that "Time Machine - Project DIVA F" video from him where Miku was singing the Flintstones theme (well more like Fleenstones) instead to the original bgm of Time Machine. (SiIvaGunner uses the flintstones theme a lot in his videos because it's a meme since the GRAND DAD video (Super Mario Rip Off) by Vinesauce. Later he didn't just use Flintstones anymore, he also used other memes alot and lately it's all about Snow Halation.)
