The Official Beatmania Thread

Since there are people that dont play IIDX, like me, I thought I'd make this up.

Anyway, is Beatmania Best Hits and SoT worth a buy?

Sound of Tokyo only has about a dozen songs, but it's still fairly entertaining. The songs are a few minutes in length, as well, rather than the usual 1:40 from other Beatmanias. It's a neat novelty, but don't try to subsist on it alone.

Best Hits has better songs than Sound of Tokyo.

I started with beatmania 5keys like a year and a half ago, and i've been playing IIDX since 3 months(when i got my ps2 and IIDX controller), altho i only played beatmania 5 keys with the regular psx controller cause no arcade here has beatmania machines

(i live in argentina)

I've never really played too much BM. A couple of games on a CM1 and CM2, but other than that pretty much nothing. I do play a lot of IIDX though. 8th style in the arcade and for my JPS2 I have 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th styles to go with my IIDX arcade style controller and a normal Konami IIDX controller.

I played 5-key for a year before I moved to IIDX.

While I love a lot of the music in IIDX, and I dig the interface and the movies and all of that, and it's certainly a HUGE challenge, I have a lot of old favorite songs from 5-key that I will likely be dropping back to 6th+Core.

(And don't kid yourself, the cost of modding a PS2 these days is the same as modding a PS1.

I play more IIDX than beatmania now, but i still love beatmania. Sounds of Tokyo is worth it for the intro alone(as wierd as it is). If you have 6th plus core,and are getting Best hits, then your good.
