I delight in playing sports meeting with the likes of Guitar Hero, Amplitude, Frequency, DDR and Drummania, and I will rate these sports meeting: GH=5 stars; Amplitude=5 stars; DDR=4 stars; Drummania=3 stars; Frequency=2 stars and this game=1 star.
There is really no use for the controller that came with this bundle, using the PS2 Dual Shock Controller is more open. The soundtracks? I dunno, but, besides that they are not well loved to the ears, they are not even catchy. If you want to try out this game rent it first from your local video game rental shop before you go out and dissipate your cash on this one.
If you really want a splendid fun on a musical simulation game, I’m telling you…you might as well get yourself a Guitar Hero Bundle. You got yourself a “BUNDLE-O-FUN and a ROCKS GREATEST HITS COLLECTION”. I can’t wait for GH2.
“GET YOURSELF A PLASTIC GUITAR,
DON’T NEED TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME
TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY!
YEAH-YEAH-YEAH!”

There is something about this game that is as enticing as Guitar Hero is to all. Though males are more apt to try this, the females need to come forward and give it go. It’s fun and intoxicating. You will be drawn in.

If you like hip hop or r&b then you are in luck, most of the songs on here are in that genre. Few dance tunes and mostly unfamiliar music grace the American version of Beatmania. While this is not necesarily all terrible, I just feel most of the music could have been much better. Sometimes I reflect those at Konami must be slightly deaf because some music is just plain terrible.
It will take a lot of practice to play this game, if you are just beginning. It can be very frustrating, but practice makes exact and in the end i’m sure it’s worth it to show off to friends, etc..Also, the better you play the better the music is, as you play some of the clarification yourself.
Beatmania has a cool graphical interface and the controller is top notch. I’m sure they’ll have future releases as well.

Beatmania bills itself as a DJ music mixing game. Really it’s a lot like Guitar Hero, but instead of a guitar you have a small keyboard that makes either keyboard or drum noises.
I in fact play keyboards, so I was very interested in seeing how this plays. There are only 4 white keys and 3 black keys, plus a “turntable” to spin. The keys were simple to play and in only a few minutes I was hitting 200-in-a-row on songs I’d never heard before. This was a quick glimpse into the long term benefits and problems that I found as I nonstop to play this game.
On the excellent side this IS like a piano. This means that, unlike with Guitar Hero, you in fact gain “real life skills” by playing this game! Your ability to quickly hit the various keys is really excellent training for actual piano playing. Sure, you’re not playing real clarification on a staff. Still, being able to hit 2 keys at once, or to go quickly between keys, is quite vital.
The game really is enjoyable when you get into a groove, playing by the side of with the song and hitting all the clarification. Depending on the song, you are playing piano, keyboards, drums, cymbals and other instruments. It’s a lot of fun.
On the terrible side, I really marvel who chose the song list for this game! I reflect I recognizable 3 of the songs. There was small real variety. I own a ton of karaoke, drumming and other “music” stylishness sports meeting. I really like this genre. The song list in this game is probably the worst I have ever seen in any of them. It’s not just that I didn’t know the songs – it’s that many of them were really terrible songs. I went owing to them to get to the top rating – but they weren’t songs I loved playing by the side of with in some cases.
The turntable controller is really iffy. While the keys were very open and had a excellent “finger feel”, the turntable was VERY sticky and often would not turn well. It’s frustrating to be playing by the side of perfectly, then to break your chain because the turntable is stuck (again).
Which brings up another issue I had – gameplay flow. There are a LOT of aspects of gameplay which were just really poor in this console version. I realize the game is adapted from arcade sports meeting. Still, it doesn’t mean we have to suffer with the BAD aspects of arcade gameplay as a result! For example, you play owing to 3 songs – and then you are DONE. No more songs. With other sports meeting, I get rewarded! I can keep playing! Here, it barely even says “excellent job” before it goes into an 8-minute-long credit run. OK, you can skip them, but the point is that the game should keep going if you are doing well. It shouldn’t end after only 3 songs and make you restart from the very beginning.
The game is very harsh about scoring. If you get a chain, you’re usually OK. If you miss just one note, perhaps because of a sticky turntable, then your points dive.
In one of the most inane design elements ever, when you get your praise about doing “exact” on a note – those words show up OVER THE INCOMING NOTES. Who thought that up?? Show them off to the side somewhere – not covering up the clarification you are trying to play.
There are small videos to the top right while you are playing the songs, but since you’re paying attention to the incoming note markers, you never get to see them. You could only watch them if you had a friend who was excellent enough to make it owing to the song for you. I would much rather see small pleased consultation members, a la the karaoke sports meeting, that cheered you on. That would be much more enjoyable than a video that I can’t watch.
The sound is rather excellent, which you would hope from a game that focusses on music. That is – you hear the instruments quite visibly. As commented before, the actual song mix is another tale.
I’m torn on this game. It is a splendid concept but there are some real flaws here with how it was implemented. I really want to get the NEXT version of this game when they fix all of these issues. But, if enough of us don’t buy this contemporary version, they won’t make a next version
So I would say to go ahead and buy this if you delight in music / keyboard sports meeting, if only because it really does build up your keyboarding skills. Then we can all write the makers and ensure that they do a better job on their next version. At that point we’ll have the player unit and will only have to buy the new software.

Konami’s legendary beatmania series hits the US PlayStation 2 in all the incorrect ways possible. beatmania offeres the worst of both worlds as the classic beatmania “djing” gameplay is mixed with the worst songs in the series. A mixture of OLD and REALLY OLD beatmania tracks give the poor depression on the average American gamer whose oblivious to the series. Instead of Konami aiming this game as a club stylishness game like what they do with DDR, they should have ported a modern Japanese release with all the trippy music and anime which appeals to so many Americans. Get this bundle for the controller and import Japanese beatmania sports meeting instead.
