Walking on Sunshine is one of the greatest songs ever.

There's a lot of crappy games out there. Why do you guys have to post them? You know that none of us are interested. So why do you post this garbage?

Actually, just yesterday I was trying to track this info down (ask Gun Barrier). Why? Well, have you SEEN the gameplay footage? If this game can track as accurately as the videos indicate, it will do something Samba De Amigo seems to be incapable of. Work.

Thanks a lot Sheppy. Thanks to you we have to endure these post. Why couldn't you just be more interested in fps games. You'd make a lot of people happy.

Because, if I'm going to be forced down a hallway to an unchanging, inevitable conclusion, why can't I just play Amplitude instead?

Where in the fuck is Toni Basil? The freaken music video for Mickey HAD CHEERLEADERS DANCING AROUND IN IT. That is probably as obvious as it gets. And don't tell me Toni wouldn't sell you the rights, because if that song is accurate, she will do anything for attention

Seems a waste to make a game like this and not include "Mickey" by Toni Basil

"Huddle Formation" is a surprising and cool choice, however.

Not that I'll ever play this game, or anything.

I think you should get off your prejudiced ass and watch the videos. Yeah, it looks like it's for girls. But in no way does it look "bad" or "really casual", at least not unless you thought the same of Quendan.

Oh, Hell yes!! I used to love that song! "Spartacus" is one of my favorite 90's albums.

Too bad it's games like this that made me get rid of the Wii...

Maybe I can put it this way...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byzlauqM1I0&NR=1

Watch that video. Watch how the motions of each hand is tracked and challenged individually. I can't say I care for the music but the music in Elite Beat Agents was ass too. But regardless, the only thing that is "wrong" with this game is conceptually self image. And this is where I laugh and say, this is what seperates who games for fun, and who tries to be cool while gamming.

Examples? Did you really think Super Scope 6 wasn't the dorkiest thing for the SNES? But we loved that stuff. Likewise, right now, millions of gamers are kicked back in a sofa or coach, headset plugged into their controller, and using phrases like Team Kill or Frag. Completely oblivious to being within spitting distance to this...
http://www.infendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/nerd-46422.jpg
Apply these same observations to someone pointing a bright orange gun at a TV screen, or someone feverishly attempting to pass Through the Fire & Flames.

And yet DDR or a game like this looks stupid to them. Reality check time, gaming is nerdy, dorky, embarassing, etc. There is NO point where your ability to headshot will get you laid. So, one can draw the conclusion if you're going to look like an asshole while gaming no matter what you do, why not enjoy a game like this, DDR, Warioware, or WiiFit? It's not like Call of Duty 4 is raking in the pussy.

That's why I say it's games like these that seperate the real gamers.

So your a big rythm game fan eh? And from what I gather you like Elite Beat Agents. Have you ever played Osu!? If not I suggest you look it up. (btw that ! is supposed to be there, it's part of the name)

Just because someone doesn't enjoy a particular type of genre doesn't make them any less of a "gamer". I like to escape into a world where I am a bad ass space marine, not a perky cheerleader. Sure games are dorky, but I would rather be caught masturbating by my mother, grandmother, and jesus than be caught by.... anyone in the world playing this game. If that makes me not a "gamer" then bring on teh haloz.

While I fully agree with Shepps about playing games for the sake of fun, I'm still too shallow as a male Homo Sapiens specimen to appear as a raging homosexual in public.


But that game STILL looks a hell lot of fun, most probably to be played inside a closet.

I think Sheppy's point, to put it concisely (not that I'm very good at doing that) is not that every real gamer has to like this game and hate Halo, but that no real gamer would differentiate between this game and Halo because of anything besides gameplay.

You got a pretty jaded perspective there Sheepy. In the end it's about preference. I like rhythm games - a lot actually. But, there is nothing in this game that appeals to me in the least bit.

I like racing games a lot as well. But, I probably wouldn't be interested in a Thomas the tank engine train racing game because the content doesn't appeal to me.

It has nothing to do with playing games to be cool. It's about escaping into an interactive experience that I am at the very least interested in. Now, I wouldn't make fun of you if we were buddies and you were playing it at your house. Hell, I would probably even try it out. But, it's not the type of game I would entertain for myself. Maybe for my 6 year old daughter. It has nothing to do with my machismo either - It's just not something that interest me.

I've lost enough faith in humanity due to the wii. To see that some want to play this made me lose even more, which I didn't even think was possible until now.

Part of me is really, really glad they included the Go!Team. Aside from the fact that they're one of my favorite bands, it actually is a great fit for the game. Oh "Huddle Formation", when will you finally be in other rhythm games?

*sigh*

Back to freestyle mode in RB2 for now. . .
