Another great release in a fantastic series of bemani (music / rhythm action) games where you press the controller buttons and spin the DJ scratch disc in sync with the notes coming down the screen. Beatmania or Beatmania IIDX controller is optional but recommended. You can play with the standard PS2 controller but get yourself a US or JAP Beatmania IIDX controller for best effect. Both versions will work on this game although the game is suitable for Japanese or modified ps2's only... Almost all the text is in English though so you'll find it easy to navigate and play with no problems. And you might even learn some Japanese kanji with some of the track names ! Features over 80 tunes ! (including various styles such as Techno, Drum 'n' Bass, Rock etc as well as some suited to the "Happy Sky" title. This Playstation 2 version also features a further seven new tracks not available in the original arcade game version ! Difficulty levels are available from Training, Beginner and Standard to Expert. Also once tracks are unlocked, the Free mode allows access to them all in any order ! You are also able to change hi-speeds during tracks ! There have also been some improvements to Timings which are mainly reported to be much better, although some players may find them harder on Expert difficulty... If your TV has ever lagged with rhythm action (bemani) games, then this solves that problem by allowing you to adjust the timing of the notes sent to screen which is a great feature. Plenty of unlockable treats also, including Extra Songs, Song Customisations, Gameplay Interfaces, Pictures and Note Splashes. If you are a Dance Dance Revoultion fan then you'll find plenty of your favourite tracks on this game, including some from Supernova, Happy Angel, Xepher, Tomorrow Perfume, Pink Rose, Frozen Ray as well as many others including Aurora, Sayonara Heaven, Moon_Child, 5.1.1, Scream Squad, TOE JAM and Mei. If you ever enjoyed Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Pop n'n Music, Taiko no Tatsujin or even Gitaroo Man or Parappa the Rapper then try this game its great fun and will keep you playing for months with all its many unlocks and options :) GREAT game :)Read full review
Its an ok IIDX mix. Its really got one of the worst song selections in the series. If you know anything about IIDX the only thing that really makes the game is the song selection. It is the first game to have the option to change the timing for modern displays. Its subpar but not bad.

Really enjoyed the game and compared to the US one it's actually enjoyable and has very good replay ability. Not quite sure why i have to write at least a 100 characters for a personal review. Seems ridiculous that I have to reach a certain amount of letters for it to be a legitimate review. Yet this still isn't enough. Well game was good and fun, but Beatmania exp. requested by community is ridiculous.
