Savvy importers already know the greatness that is DJ Max Portable. Pentavision's exquisite and Asia exclusive PSP music series had gamers button tapping until their batteries died. In fact, Modojo loved the first game so much they awarded it a generous perfect score, and followed up its sequel with an impressive four out of five. Now DJ Max comes stateside in the form of DJ Max Fever, complete with all the beat scratching goodness.
Gamertell has posted its weekly column that focuses on notable importable games and game-related products.
This week's Important Importables focuses on Korean music games. From Gamertell:
"If you’re looking for a fairly simple to understand and addictive import game, look no further than Korea. Yes, that’s right, Korea. Some of the easiest to play import games, for people who can’t understand the language, are music games and Korean developers and publishers are known for putting together some pretty great ones."
One of the wonderful things about being isolated in a military camp in the middle of nowhere is that I get a lot of free time to just, well, do absolutely nothing. Of course that's just being inefficient, which is why I always keep my PSP close at hand. Doing so allows me to enjoy a myriad of portable wonders five days a week and one of those wonders includes a humble rhythm game known as DJ Max Portable 2.
DJ Max Portable 2 is by no means a new game, having been released about three years ago in March of 2007. The game was developed by Korean developer Pentavision for the PlayStation Portable and boasts roughly 60 original songs, addicting gameplay, plenty of unlockable items and even a soundtrack mode that I actually use when I get the urge to just enjoy the tunes on the go.
Siliconera: PM Studios has spent a lot of time on the PSP. Is branching out to consoles one of your goals for 2010?
PM Studios: We sure are. As I stated before, we are very interested in HD gaming. And our minds are set on PS3.
DJ Max Developer sounds like a loser.......Keep him we don't need him working on xbox360 thanks.
Anything involving both "Gunbird 2" and "New" is an interesting thing to follow in my book. Sure, out-of-the-loop kids like me had to find this game using emulation, but it's one of the best reasons to have MAME on the computer!
As for whether or not they'll screw it up... well, I really don't know much about this company, so there's no prediction there. If they do, I'll just go play the original.
