![]() The soundtrack won't be as much of a draw for most players as something like the familiar Rock Band lineup, but music games with original songs are my favorite, and all of these might as well be original. ![]() I've never heard of any of it before, but I am in constant danger of humming along after playing the game. The music ranges in style from the bubbly Kpop of Kara, to rap songs about Canada, to Japanese " reggaeton-like." It's all accompanied by custom video in the background, all of which looks just incredible on the Vita's giant, bright screen. you'd probably still need a stand for that. If you don't happen to have a stand for your Vita, you can turn off the rear touchpad functionality and play those notes on the screen. ![]() The notes you don't see me hitting require the player to tap the rear touchpad these often take place at the same time as normal notes, on a different beat, and are the primary reason I picked the easiest song to demonstrate. ![]() I appreciate this touch, even if it did require remastering all the songs, because it makes me feel like I'm actually doing something musical, instead of merely indulging in an idle pastime while watching a music video. If you miss a little bit, it sounds a little weird, giving you immediate, concrete feedback. Unlike many music games, each icon you tap actually plays the sound from the corresponding segment of the song. That's the easiest song, on normal difficulty. It's much easier to understand if you see it for yourself: In an unusual twist, the screen is divided into two horizontal segments, and the notes move in sequence between them. ![]() In this case, you're tapping and dragging on the touchscreen in time with the music. I can't pretend I'm getting healthy by playing it, unfortunately.ĭon't worry about never having played a DJMax game before this one is different from the Beatmania-styled releases on the PSP, and they're all pretty easy to pick up anyway. It's all there: the mishmash of weird, unfamiliar, yet catchy Asian dance music the over-the-top explosion of colorful visuals going on at all times, from the menu screens to the videos playing behind the note prompts the overenthusiastic announcer sounding surprised and delighted at your every menu choice. The look and feel of Pentavision's Vita music game recall my high school Dance Dance Revolution obsession pleasantly. DJMax Technika Tune is in some ways mindbendingly new, but simultaneously comfortingly nostalgic. ![]()
