Today was the day they brought Vib-Ribbon to the US and I just finished playing it. Sad to say, but for a while I was a bit disappointed. This was going to be a case where the game didn't live up to the hype. Sure, I thought the included J-Pop music were neat and all, but the number of songs that came with the game were only a measly few. However, make a note that these tracks should only be seen as a sort of warm-up as the the game gives you a mode where you can use your own music with the game. This is where the game got incredibly fun and its replay value seen as being endless!
I popped in my copy of Ill Communication and boy howdy did it get crazy! "Sabotage" was the easiest while "Heart Attack Man" spiced things up a few notches. "Get It Together" was when things got sideways real fast (I'm still trying to beat it). It was only after I played my own music was when I finally understood why people love this game so much. It's so cool!
For those who are wondering: I think they did a good job of emulating the game as I don't believe there is any input lag as compared to the port of PaRappa the Rapper. They also used the EU port, so there are a number of European region languages to pick from. This is a cute game that is fully of character and is highly recommended by yours truly.
Update: "E-Pro" would be a great song to play in Vib-Ribbon, too. The music video is kind of like the game both visually and gameplay wise, especially towards the end when Beck's jumping on the music notes.
