In The Groove Ships to Retail

The loading times for the songs (5-7 seconds) are certainly understandable, but waiting another 5 seconds to see your results is a little rediculous. I would have much rather have had Red Octane cut back on a few of the frills to keep the pace of the game going.

I do however, really like the elaborate record keeping the game has.

Just my two cents.

I got mine through the mail last night, but haven't opened it yet. (but I'm itching to get home today!)

I've never played ITG in an arcade, since the nearest one is 150+ miles away. Will this game give me the real "feel" of the arcade version?

yeah, the whole EVNT score recording is kinda lame, but no one else will probably play my game anyway, so it doesnt really bother me much. with no extra stage, there really isnt any reason to not play in event mode. however, it could be annoying for some who want their name in and dont want to have to start a whole new game every few songs; it takes long enough to load already.

Apparently it's out, so a mall on the east coast would probably have it, right? If so, I could just cop it today.

Got my copy delivered shortly before 12:30 this afternoon (located directly on the Chesapeake Bay, in case people are extrapolating). I've been playing for an hour or 2, and I'm happy with the game. Load times are just kind of "bleh" (not good, but not bad). As for difficulty, maybe I'm not that good at CCR, but I can scarcely pass 11+ difficulties. Things like Tell's 1/16 jumps *annihilate* me. Mostly, the only things I don't like are insignificant things (organizing songs with UDUD, instead of just Start, interface isn't my favorite ever).

After playing some courses I must say this : I never really played any courses on DDR (I started off playing PIU and continue to) because they seemed kinda... well bland... but the ITG courses are extremely worth it due to the cool modifiers... sure DDR had some modifiers on oni mode but that put you too much at risk of dieing too much... and hardly any of the songs that had it were favorites (to me)

Gamestop finally got their copies.

Damn those 10-second load times get on my nerves.

I can't even beat 12s on controllers.

Funny, mine came shrinkwrapped. But EB Games sold me on the buyer's insurance and the trade-in thing. Geez, I'll fall for anything. Would you believe they gave me $0.25 for Def Jam Vendetta. Bastards.

Mine was shrinkwrapped as well. Looks like someone opened your box and swiped your Secret Decoder Ring, EBT. Now you won't know that you need to be sure to drink your Ovaltine.
