Gitaroo Man Comments by Martin Taylor

Eh? Where did the comment by InIT go?

Edit: It was deleted because it was a pointless comment.

They are pretty pointless, let's face it. :)

So no more offtopic?

Hey the comment system policy says nothing about having to be on-topic, does it?

Maybe we should use a sentence like "Ceterum censeo these screenshots/this article above look nice/ugly is interesting/boring as kind of a signature? ;-)

I didn't even see the post that got deleted, so I've no idea what was .. er .. in it. [You're fired - Pun Editor] We're certainly not making a practice of nuking off-topic posts though.

This game is very good, especially if you like rhythm type games. It leaves Parappa 2 in the dust anyways. Some of the levels border on button mashing though.

Given the fact that it appeared three seconds after I posted the feature, your so-called opinion was a simple debunking of a review you clearly hadn't read. I don't care much for that, and I don't care much for people who don't back up their words. So I responded in kind. Enjoy!

Ooooh - yet another case of handbags at dawn on the EG boards! Anyway - don't buy this game get Frequency instead. The tunes are far better and the gameplay much more rewarding - when are you guys doing a review of it? (yes, I know, as soon as someone goes out an buys it cos Sony don't send you a copy)

Played the demo of Gitaroo Man on this months OPS2 disc.
Pretty good, nice tunes, nice style, good difficulty level.
Think I'd get bored of the actual game too quickly, but might be fun to drag out for post-pub sessions.

This game is daft...Not only do you spend the whole time looking at the movement line going through the middle of the screen, you spend half your time not getting a score because the game doesn't quite recognise the way you've got your analogue sticks pointing, so drops you a point..

In other words, shite it is young jedi...

Been watching a couple of the guys in the office play this non-stop. It only lasted them a couple of days, but they loved every second of it!

It's a great looking game, and I personally love the mad Japanese style and music.

It seems to be a lot more entertaining than Frequency (which visually at least is a lot more subdued) but Frequency has the 'cooler' sounds.

me i give it, a half and its just another prapper the rapper and frequency mashed into one crazy game.
I think

Is Dorag Kid one of the funniest posters ever, or what?

Keep it up, fella!

i thought Gitaroo Man is great. Admittedly, im a big fan of rhythm games, but i think GM has its own unique charm in its (from my experience) one-of-a-kind gameplay, and i especially like the way the line bends with the music, instead of meandering about in an arbitrary fashion. Also, i have to take exception with labelling some of the stages as mere button mashing, because everything has a rhythmic purpose, and if you know the song and are able to sight read for tempo in games like this, the buttons make perfect sense. Some of the combos aren't easy, but they're intelligible.

Also, as long as youre not off-put by cutesy flat 2d anime stylings expanded into the third dimension, the art design of the game is awesome.

Frequency may have way more replay value (and is also a game i love, altho i think Amplitude is the superior of the series), but Gitaroo Man is much more original, innovative, and easy on the eyes.

Would rate this game 5/10, but the 'rate this game' doesn't seem to be working tonight! :o( It was 'alright' but nothing more than that, and overly short as well.

Six years after release, and i still regularly play this game. Can't think of anything else in my collection i can say that about. 0_0
