Rumours of his demise were premature, it seems.

First? Amazing! Usually PSP threads are immediately jumped on by trolling fuckwads. Oh, now I have to say something about the game I suppose. Err... no WiFi mini guitar to go with it? Missed opportunity, it could have been the Stylophone of the new millennium. Rolf Harris could have advertised it and everything!

Considering the two follow ups to Vib Ribbon didn't get released over here I wouldn't hold your breath.

DJ MAX .. Extreme quality!!

Not for the faint hearted .. its quite tricky ive managed to do all the 10 easy traxs about 5 out of 10 medium trax .. 1 out of 10 hard trak .. and none of the expert trax in standard 4 button mode.. thers a 6 button mode stuff that.

The game has excellent songs and background videos. Manga style mainly but some trippy visuals as well.

Songs range from J pop to techno and reggae and hip hop all japanese influenced though

free PC version exists on: http://www.djmax.jp

internet explorer only

For the first time in AGES (since the US PSP launch), I have found myself playing my PSP more than my newly acquired DS Lite!

now i've managed to downgrade mine from FW 2.6 back to 1.5 i think its great again.

PSP Chess is great.. plus the Crossword and Sudoko Puzzle pack is worthy.

Or you could just buy a newspaper everyday and do the crossword and sudoku puzzles on the way to work/during lunch break. :-)

Its better on the PSP you can get a clue and reveal a letter or number if you get stuck rather than waiting for the next days paper to find the answer. Plus it keeps running score based on completion time.. amount of hints etc... plus it has about 1000+ crosswords, number grids word searches etc.. built in..

I saw the PS2 version for £7.99 in a Virgin Megastore. When I came back with money it was gone. Cunts.

Bah! I give this game 9/10 easily.

Best game on the PSP. And the only game worth buying.

A brilliant game. I hope the Uk version comes out soon, the dubbing adding another level of comedy to the game that the Japanese one misses.

The loading times are long but as mentioned when replaying the level this is not a problem. The graphics can be rough in places, and on some levels can look quite a bit worse than the ps2 version( or at least my memory of it). The tunes are still excellent, and sound great on headphones, the psp speaker didn't cope amazingly well though.

the PSP speakers are a bit shit. You really need earphones to get the most out of most games on the PSP.

[I saw the PS2 version for £7.99 in a Virgin Megastore]
yeah, i bought the ps2 version over 2 years ago for 15-20quid. to pay 30-35-odd for basically the same game again on psp just seems... wrong. utterly love the original though.

[generally hilariously over-the-top tune (penned in-house)]
the tunes are actually a collaboration between Koei and a japanese band called Coil. i picked up a few of their albums after playing the original Gitaroo Man and they're excellent stuff. a Gitaroo Man soundtrack cd is available too, which definitely ranks as one of my favourites ever.

The tunes were great. I especially loved the Mojo King Bee music however for some reason that level was the hardest for me. I was shite at it.

'COIL & KOEI - Flyin' To Your Heart' quickly made it to the top of my favourite songs on lastfm.

Also: Might be the game which forces me to buy the damn PSP.

I love my PS2 copy and I would really like a portable version to take with me but I can't justify the price for something that is basically the same.
