At least that's what those asshats at X-Play claim.

Discuss.

They don't know shit and that's it.

Don't freak out over it.

"And, with Guitar Hero already out there and far superior, the real question here is just who is Beatmania geared for."

Theres already a few posts at the G4TV Site (I promised myself not to go there, but i did X_X).

Lets face it, Adam sessler or whatever is NOT a real gamer, atleast he isnt anymore. Its also QUITE a shame, hes been with that show for YEARS, Even when kate botello was on and whas a HUGE music game fan.

Keep in mind, this show once apon a type when it was still gamespot TV did a DAMN good review on ParaParaParadise, without realizing what ParaPara was until halfway through the review.

So guitar hero turned out tobe an improvement over GuitarFreaks, and beatmaniaUSA is a flaming POS. That still doesnt give an excuse for X-Play to be a joke.

Oh wait, yes it does! Because X-Play is what killed videogame reviews on TechTV. And comcrap raped TechTV.

LIFE GOES ON OH NOES!

Actually, they said "I hope this isn't a sign for more crappy Guitar Hero rip-offs to come."

It was really obnoxious.

That is especially funny when you consider how suspisciously similar Guitar Hero is to Guitar Freaks. Now... who ripped off whom?

Oh, and Trip, Dance ManiaX still rules and always will. Dance Freaks, however, is better. (Cho Lyuon for the win!)

i think they just hate beatmania because poor babies at X-play cant play a game thats challenging and not complain about it.

lets all send xplay hate mail and see if it gets on the show! THEY MUST RECOGNIZE THE BEMANI FANS!!

I think they are right. Guitar Hero has been around WAY longer than Beatmania.

I generally approve of x-play because I like having someone with a personality talk about games then all the bland faces on the inter-web. Their music game knowhow has never exactly been top of the line however, and that's most likely due to, well; we're a minority in the world. Still, that doesn't excuse not doing research, sadness.

I don't exactly see how adam isn't a "real" gamer; I swear people are getting really pissy and elitist about the gaming community.

All this really comes down to is the fact that a guy made a totally untrue comment based on ignorance. He could have researched, but it didn't occur to him that Beatmania (which just came out recently in America) doesn't just stop there.
*edit* i fired off an email to them just for fun, let's see if a) they actually read them, b) they actually care and c) if they got bombed by tons of other gamers
