----------REVIEW
BY TYMA----------
I
played this game at its unveling at the ATEI in London,
UK, and have written up this review so that everyone
can understand
exactly
what
is
new about
the newest version of PIU: Pump It Up X: Exceed.
Please do not re-use this information without my permission. I'm a young writer
with
a
crap
job,
and
I
NEED
credit
^^;
There arearound 8 new songs in
the "Pop" genre that
I wasn't able to film
the
disc titles
for, and
one song
in the K-pop catagory
which has an almost
unreadable font [edit
by Turkey: these are
the "???" songs in
the list]..
The songlist consists of EVERY song from Prex 3 plus the
new Pump It Up X songs (listed above). There are NO songs
returning from before Prex 3, so if a song wasn't in Prex
3, and
isn't on the list anove, it unfortunately isn't in Pump
It Up X.
There are no new songs from Seo Taiji,
as previously reported. The "lost" Prex
3 songs are all completely lost. None of them appear in
the game. The "profane 4" (DJ Nightmare,
Burning Krypt, You Don't Wanna Runup,
Can You Feel
Dis Or Dat) are
all in the game,
and playable as normal.
Engine Notes:
* The theme of the game is the 10th (or
Xth) anniversary of Pump It Up, since this
is the 10th non-Prex Pump game.
The default song is called "X-Treme" (a play on the
X theme), and the other Banyas are all follow-ups or
sequels
to popular songs from the past.
* The game engine is completely new, including all the
menus, scoring screens, arrow textures, etc. The song
select screen is similar to Prex 3:
1.
Choose a genre (Banya,
K-Pop or Pop) by using the upper left/right arrows.
You can use the arrows to
scroll through and change catagory at any time, like you can change
Hard, Crazy, Freestyle, etc. in Prex 3.
2. Choose a song using the bottom left/right
arrows, and press the center button.
3. The game displays a list of modes on which the
song can be played.
For example:
[Normal] : 4
[Hard] : 6
[Crazy] : 9
[Freestyle] : 6
[Nightmare] : 12
The scale is universal, so all Crazy songs rank
in around 10, and all Nightmares around 15.
4. Choose a difficulty and press the center button to start, or
one of the lower arrows to choose another song.
* The quality of the background
videos has shot up. The one for X-Treme features the Powerpuff
Girls, for no apparent reason.
Song
Notes:
* There is NO Arrazando (It's My Party). The song's banner has
been re-used for one of the new pop songs.
* "Final Audition 3" sounds like the original Final Audition
with an orchestral feel. Most of the long streams follow violins.
The video
is a US jet fighter
flying around during a sunset. It's beautiful... *sniff*
* "X-Treme" by Banya is a cover
of "Gorgeous 2012"' by Naoki. It uses the rap from Naoki's song,
but sounds more like Love
Is
A Danger
Zone than anything
else
* "Pump Me Amadeus" is a Mozart cover that sounds a lot like
Bee. The video also sort of resembles Bee's, but with a feminine
guy
running
away from situations,
instead of the girl putting up her fists.
* "Naissance 2" is... er.... Naissance 2. It makes sense when
you play it. Added bonus: It has a rap in it!
* "Dignity" by Crash is the new "hardest thing ever" on Crazy
mode. The song starts with streams almost resembling Get The
Party Started,
then after
100 or so
steps, there's a break in the stream for the now-infamous "triple
freeze arrow" you've all seen pictures of. Right after the triple
freeze,
there's another triple, and another triple freeze.. Then again..
And again. After
4 of them, it goes back into a stream, and then a really screw
stream that goes "71937193719371937193.." over and over, which
makes up around 100 steps, and ends with 9 triples in a row.
The step count
is around
600,
and it basicaly ends up as a REALLY tiring mix of Get The Party
Started and Holiday, with the unique run thrown in to completely
tire you
out before the end. The closest I got to clearing it was 180
misses. ^^;
Originally, I planned to record video of the game, however this
was impossible, since everyone else at the show was using the
machine
to play old (Premiere)
songs for free. As I didn't see anyone playing any of the new
songs, I couldn't film them, and obviously, I couldn't film myself
playing.
Also, I ran out
of time before I could get the names of the songs in the "Pop"
genre.
So there you have it. Pump It Up X will be officialy released
worldwide at the end of February [edit by Turkey: it's not a
Mexico exclusive, yay]. Prepare to harrass local arcade owners
NOW. :)
