DJMAX Portable

Mmm.. music and boobies.

I saw some ads for DJMAX Portable 2 so I thought I’d try it.. but since I couldn’t find it I settled for the original. This rhythm game is in a word: unforgiving, but then again most rhythm games are. That’s kind of the whole point with them though. The most fun I’ve had in any rhythm game was probably playing Beatmania with my friend Simon back in the dorm until my brain would fall into a zen-like state and instinctively respond to the rapid rain of dropping beats.

I can’t say I’ve reach that state quite yet though. In fact I haven’t managed to get past the fourth level of the game yet. I manage one through three almost flawlessly but at four the difficulty swiftly bumps up to a level just slightly out of my reach. Need more brain training.

Here’s a video in case you have no idea what I’m talking about.

Damn this game is addicting. My fingers hurt ._.
Oh and I saw numero 2 in the store today. I might buy it, but I should probably make sure I get good enough first. I’m pwning all the four-button songs now but I’m still having major problems with the six-button songs. Also I need to investigate how to play it on my downgraded PSP.

[Update #2]
I buckled down and eventually my brain was able to cope with the six-button songs, adding a new level of challenge to all the songs I’ve already mastered. I went back to play some good ol’ four-button songs after that and for some reason they had become easier than ever! I felt like I had super powers and hit every note even when my eyes weren’t really keeping up. Damn I love this game.
