*laughs* it isn't that bad. I usually play 5keys. It isn't that hard. I can pass mostly everything on 8th style.

You're in for a big change on 7 keys and a real controller. At the very least you might have a leg up on reading the notes.

Will the Mainstream Player Like It?

Postby robbway » Fri Jan 06, 2006 6:24 am

I'm going to buy Beatmania when it hits the US. However, I wonder if non-Bemani gamers will like the game. My concern is that the game will be too hard for most people to continue beyond a few hours of play.

I have to confess my first 5-key Beatmania 4th Style+Core game sat on the shelf for over a year because I didn't give it enough time to learn the basic motorskills. I found IIDX to be much more rewarding, but it had a difficult learning curve, too.

I hope it does well!

keys feel slightly different, i'm pretty sure they've worked on the "sticking" problem.
