Fun game, highly addictive, just too short, but play it anyway

For years, I had been looking for this, seeing as how I was a fan of the music genre, and I had, of course, heard of this game. But, I knew this game was hard to come by, so, when i saw it used, i pounced, this had been a game that I had never played, but looked forward to so much. After playing it, I have to admit, my suspicions were correct, this was my favorite game I had never played, and after playing it, its my favorite game in both the music and shooting genres.

The gameplay is like a standard shooting game, just your enemies burst into music, which is odd, but very cool.The only real problem i had with it is that there was a slight delay between targeting and, after releaseing, the target being hit, a few times, costing me a position.
The Graphics, although odd, are very good and work perfectly with this game. I had no problem seeing things on the screen and could target them easily as such, and the framerate works wonderuflly with the PS2 with no slowdown.
Its a music game, so sound should be excellent, and it is. when things are shot, they make the sounds, when the X and O buttons are hit, the sound cues are right on. The sound desgin is wonderful and simply adds to it in such a way that you won't notice it at all.
Its a short game, so unless you get it really cheap (or re-sell it really high), you're not getting that much bang for the buck, but its still fun while it lasts.
If nothing else mattered, I'd reccomend this game to anyone, and still would, its simply a gaming experince that everyone should try at some time. its fun, highly addictive, and gives me that magical vibe that few games do (its te magic that sets it apart!).

In closing, if you see, buy, its good, just very very short, but still fun.
