how other Rhythm games should be handled

User Rating: 9.4 | Pump It Up: Exceed PS2
Pump it UP! exceed North american is exactly how rhythm games should be handled. all of the original, with some new bonus features

Bad first, it's kind of hard to find a metal PIU pad. also there aren't more EXCEED 2 songs. i would have liked to see I'll give you all my love, and U.

also the unkock system takes WAY too long. to unlock the final song, you have to accumulate 100 KM. it's alot harder than it sounds, as distance in PIU is probally 21X that of DDR

now the good, the game keeps so much of the Korean home version Songlist that it's hard to belive that this isn't an import. i personally imported this before the North American Relase, and i like the north american better, as the USA liscenses aren't just gimmicks. they're actual fun songs(Espically Walkie talkie man)

i also like that they included the most famous song form EXCEED 2

the Presentation mirrors the Korean version, but the rankings page now requires you to hit X(center) to progress. this is good for those of us who wright slow.

as some unlocks take time, some are rather simple, but are too specific for my tastes. it's like you HAVE to get an FAQ. and that dosen't sit well with me.

overall, this is a great game, and was worth 75 bucks, but now it's in the bargan bin for about 30 with the pad.
