Anyone Ever Play Techno Motion?

First off, I'll point out that I own DDRMax 2 for PlayStation 2, but have never played any of the arcade versions of DDR. (I gotta go to Park City Mall sometime.)

Harrisburg East Mall has a DDR-like game called "Techno Motion." It seems to be something of a DDR spinoff. The song list is completely different from any DDR mix I've heard of, and it offers 8-panel play, as well as 4- and 6-panel, and double. The rating system isn't like DDR at all either; I played on Normal, and quickly looked at the difficulty of the hardest song Normal Mode offered. 12 diamonds.

I can't rightly recall the name of the company behind it at the moment.

Could anyone tell me if any of you have played this game before, and confirm (as I believe already) that the techniques for playing it are the same as the techniques used in DDR?

What's your take on the game?

Yeah...it's ok, but it's definitely not as polished as DDR or Pump, and I don't like it very much. I s'pose it's ok if it's the only thing in your area. And everyone tries 8 panel at least once out of curiosity. There's no 16 panel doubles though.

I think it was F2(?) System who made it.

We have one in our mall. It's broken, and with 2 Extreme machines, it doesn't get played. I dun play either since we have other Bemani. It's alright for a good laugh at the intro movie with the really scary lady.

I hate that game with a passion so intense, it could consume several small countries (or one meduim sized). I hate it because it is the only dancing game near me, unless I feel like a half-hour drive, and it's just so bad! Bad music, bad arrows, bad everything!

I can't play arcade DDR myself without an hour's drive, so don't feel so bad. Thankfully I took care of that by going to Park City Mall on Saturday.

But aside from that, indeed, Techno Motion is my only real option. And after a second look, I can't believe I compared it (at all) with DDR! DDR is so much better!

Oh well, maybe if I poke and prod enough they'll bring DDR to Harrisburg East Mall. You never know.

What bugged me was the fact that Down+Up jumps looked like gallops. I waas never sure whether to try hitting them ogether or separatly.

Umm I liked some of the music on Technomotion, never got to play it though... but I guess with the programs people made I could stick the good songs on Pump it Up (the ones that F2 Systems didn't already place in the Extra Mix that Andamiro developed with them.

Only thing I know about TechnoMotion is that the guy doing that little handstand is the guy on the StepMania logo

You mean the Techno Motion logo is used in Stepmania... because it was used in TM first!
