Beatmania IIDX

I have fallen in love with a new rhythm music game called beatmania IIDX! It is so difficult, but so fun! The objective of the game is to "play" a song by pressing keys on a special controller in time with the notes that fall down from the top of the screen. The more complicated the song is, the more difficult it is to play the song properly. The controller has seven buttons arranged similar to a piano, except that they are farther spaced, and a turntable to play special scratch notes in the song. Pictures speak louder than words...




The game definitely gives the feeling of actually making the song like a live DJ act. It is truly an exciting and unique experience! Even though I don't have the turntable controller yet, playing with my DualShock controller is still a good time. Matt and I have been toying around with the idea of building a controller ourselves, though I don't know how I'd go about making a turntable...
