DJ Max Fever


This little music-simulation PSP game is kind of obscure, but it's packed with quite a lot of good stuff. When you turn on the game, the menu looks very nice with the techno music in the background. Because this was originally a Korean game, most of the songs are in Korean. Didn't think I liked K-pop, but what do you know. There are quite a few very addictive songs that I liked instantly.

Because I can pass level 5 songs in Beatmania games, DJ Max Fever is a bit too easy. There are 4 keys, 5 keys, or 6 keys, and I passed a 6 key Level 8 song no problem during my first plays. It's either that I'm good or the game is not challenging enough :P

Anyway, there is one interesting concept. It's the same with Beatmania in that you are supposed to hit corrosponding keys when it gets to a red line near the bottom, but in DJMF it doesn't necessarily has to be the right key. As long as you hit a key at the right time, the combo continues, but you only get a fraction of the score for that note.

The visuals in the background are very nice, too bad because unless you are watching someone else play, you probably are too busy to watch those. Heh.

Overall very nice game, well worth the money.
