Suckage! I came home Tuesday night to play some BM, and the controller was dead. Just no reponse at all. Tried all the standard diagnostics... nuthin. Fortunately Gamebuzz still had 2 of em so I exchanged it. All is fine now.

Almo,

Did you read the controller's manual about not doing certain things with it, and plugging it in only when the PS2 power's off, and unplugging it when the power is off, and so on and so forth?

I know it's a little overkill when they say not to sleep with it, butter it, or submerge it in water but maybe that's why it died?

Josh924, I'm jealous! My EB said that "All of EB Canada doesn't have the game yet, until yesterday." So did FutureShop.

And I live outside Toronto, the biggest freaking city in Canada, and you live in BooneyCity (no offense but you're really NORTH of me) and yet you get it so much sooner.

I really am jealous. I understand that Alberta's got a pretty good music game scene though so maybe that's why. In Hamilton, it's just dropping deader than a rock in terms of arcades. Thankfully DDR and KR are going strong.

ACtualy an arpeggio is a sequence of notes played invididually in rapid sucession and repeatedly. this is often done to "simulate" a chord with only one synthesizer voice.

They were used a lot on the commodore 64, a conputer with a 3 voice sound chip, which can without doing that do ONE chord at a time with nothing else.

I suspect e-motion has delays and/or slow attacks in it's instrument sounds, and that's why it seems so offsync. TO be fair I havent' played it but that would be my guess. Konami must think it's right as it's been that way forever and never "fixed"

Gambol has the most horrible timing on 3rd style. I managed to B it. :\ but yeah. Malice, there isn't much of a difference in the JPS2 and the American except the regional blah blah.

I got it at the local gamestop in the mall, then walked to the best buy and saw it for $5 less.

But i was still exstatic that I only paid $65 for a game that would have cost me $300 to import.

Its got some flaws to it sadly, theres only the split view, and theres no options for an event mode until you play EVERY song, they're unlocked in free play as you play them in game mode.

The 5 key mode is fun, but only has one difficulty, which I found weird.

And some songs are horribly difficult, I can pass many 4's and yet I cannot pass some 1's.

But well worth my money, ill be playing it for a while.

that and the controller you get with the US game is superior to the japanese KOC and if you were smart like me you only paid 50 for the game and controller bundle so you cna knock 30 more bucks off that price AND you get two games (plus depending on what style you want some of them ebay for as low as 40 bucks)
