Anyone know when the final version of this game is coming out? I've played the location test in IL (I live about ten minutes from it) and despite the system and theme being an improvement over SuperNOVA, the song selection totally SUCKS ASS. I seriously had to force myself to play all the "new" songs, half of which are available on the home version of SuperNOVA. Also, how the songs are categorized is a bit odd at the moment. The songs are put under their respective title supposedly ala the one categorizing option in DDR Extreme, but it's a bit messed up. All they have for the categories is MAX, MAX2, Extreme and SuperNOVA. While MAX, MAX2 and SuperNOVA seem to have their respective songs there (sorta), the Extreme category has like...all the songs you'd find from 1-7th mix, PLUS Extreme. Most of the songs are in there.
The theme is nice, though. I like the blue, even though it's really only on the promo art and whatnot (the backgrounds in the game I don't really remember too well). The fact that you can pick your character before you get to the song wheel was also pretty cool. A lot more songs have videos instead of dancers now (a good thing in my opinion), but to the credit of the dancing characters, they do seem to have more animations and facial expressions than in SuperNOVA. Also, actual drawn pictures of your character's face will flash across the screen every once in a while, and I thought that was a nice touch.
The battle mode...I didn't play. It seems to play out exactly how it did in the home version of SuperNOVA though, complete with the other announcer. You can play against someone else or against a computer, and unlike the home version of SuperNOVA, both dancers are onscreen at once.
Anyway, that's my opinion on the game. I took pictures but they all suck due to being on a camera phone. In all honesty, there's not much being missed. =\ It was okay to drive ten minutes there, but people in different states definitely shouldn't drop what they're doing to come check it out. Hopefully it'll be out soon with a (vastly) expanded songlist.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
