The Slam Dancing Go! Go! Break Steady (XBLA) Official Thread

So, I'm completely obsessed and consumed by this game. I'm not kidding, I took today off from work to play it. Well, that and I felt like I needed a day off.

When I first tried to the demo I thought, "I wish they'd give you more time to do the button presses, they break it up so quickly to beatnik parts" but somewhere along the line I got consumed.

I'm playing on hard and trying to get As in everything. I'm only up to the third level on the first blue set. What difficulty are you playing it on?

Hmm... I'm not really feeling the beat on a parts of the songs in the game. Really not sure about this one.

I know what you're saying. A lot of times, the timing of the button presses creates it's own beat over the actual song.

I think it's because of the time you take to use your beatniks. Since people can finish at different times, it causes the button presses to resume at a different time and it can't just throw you into a sequence, so it waits to create one, causing the random or offbeat feeling.

Or maybe not.
 
I was all ready to criticize the incredible corniness of this game, but I downloaded the demo...and I liked it.

Not exactly the most amazing hip-hop aesthetic, and it's still kinda corny...but damnit, it's got heart :lol
 
It's got all the attitude of a Saturday morning cereal ad, the music kinda stinks and the animation leaves much to be desired.

That said, the game is quite fun and addictive.

I have to agree. I hate the art, presentation, voices and music.

However, it's a really damn good game. Even though I despise the music choices, I played the demo about 6 rounds and then purchased the full game.

It's a very unique and addictive mix of rhythm game and puzzler.

If this game was done by Q, it would have been absolutely amazing.
 
So lacking anything better to do this afternoon, I gave this a try... and I really like it. I like the music, and the gameplay is addictive. I've spent roughly 8k ms points in the last few weeks, but damned if this game isn't forcing me to buy it as well.

Is everyone still enjoying it? How long does the game last?

I never look at the animation other than seeing it going on in the background since I'm concentrating on the buttons and beatniks. They could pull down their pants and moon me and I wouldn't notice because I'm not concentrating on that.

Not an excuse, just saying how I agree but it doesn't bother me. Half of the songs are good, half are not.

If anyone wants some co-op sometime I'm up for it. I'm up to the third character's tournement, all As and prizes so far.

btw has anyone had any achievement "glitches" with this game? I'm pretty sure I filled up my bar with all perfects two or three times and I still don't have that achievement.
