Technic Beat
for PS2 by Arika/Mastiff 1-2 Players ---    A rather unknown game, many people haven't heard of this one ever. It's a rhythm game, with a relatively unique style of play. Before you lump this in with DDR or whatever, the method of play is not even close. You press buttons with the right timing usually to the song, in correspondence with the rapidly expanding circles in order to perfect explode them. The result is a vibrant screen full of flashing epilepsy, and a usually pleasant melody, which you can subtly tweak to create your own arrangements of! The song choice is somewhat questionable with several unknown originals, but you'll be pleased to find a lot of Namco remixes which should be familiar if you're an old school Namco gamer, or have ever played Taiko Drum Master. Mappy, Dragon Spirit and Ridge Racer, just to name a few, thankfully obliterate any thoughts of putting in licensed crap to try to arrange. You can play against another player, or even cooperatively to try to complete the song (which is harder than you think, trying to decide the most efficient way to allocate yourselves over circles). There are a couple of different characters to pick which are sort of built-in difficulty modifiers on their own with some characters being rather difficult to play with. I actually don't recommend Technic Beat for anyone who isn't into the genre. It's quite a unique experience. The Adventures of Cookie and Cream for PS2 by Agetec 2-8 Players ---   Why not 1-8 Players, you might ask? You're screwed if you have no friends, because in this game, teamwork is VITAL (unless you're one of those crazy hardcore gamers, and have beyond-exceptional controller aptitude). What do I mean? The screen is split into half and you are a a bunny on one half. The other bunny is hopefully controlled by another person, and you two have to work together to beat a level. For example, you pull a switch in order to unlock a gate on the other person's side of the screen, so that they may proceed and help you when a similar obstacle is encountered. Pure genius, and pure insanity! Let me tell you, this game is NOT even for kids. Kids would cry at the difficulty of some of the later levels. Even more innovative, you don't even need 2 controllers, since two of you can share a controller! How's that for originality? Highly recommended. How ya doing, buddy? |
