It's a fun relaxing game... at relaxing difficulty. Your mileage may very if you play it at a harder difficulty. It's got simple gameplay mechanics, and an innovative music analyzer. Making any MP3 file an intense escape. I recommend Dec. by PUFFY AmiYumi from their 2001 album SPIKE if you have it. It's an amazing visual thrill run.

Nice game. I remember this game looked really cool back in its day since not much music game back then could customize out-game musics. Feel nostalgic:) Although the play any musics 100 achievement feel a bit too much even with short songs. 7/10. Also Main menu music sound really good and still rock hard.
