With DJMax Technika Tune bringing a different take on Koreaās premiere rhythm game to the PlayStation Vita later this month, fans of the original can score a heavy dose of track-based tapping with DJMax Ray on the iPhone, if they donāt mind dealing with a bit of bugginess.
Gameplay consists of tapping the bottom portion of the screen as notes descend. There are simple tap notes, sustained notes, and the diabolical slide notes, which require the player to follow a jagged path of notes in a line.
All the earmarks of a good DJMax game are hereābrutal difficulty, gorgeous artwork and an eclectic mix of music. Itās everything I wanted from a mobile entry in the series.
And a bit buggy.
Iāve lost my challenge progress three times since I started playing. Iāve had to remind the game that I purchased all the song packs at least three times. Itās amazingly frustrating not being able to just boot up and play without worrying about losing everything.
But I still play, and I play ravenously. The problems with the title are pretty substantial, but it still gives me what I need. Itās an abusive relationship, but I can handle it.
