DJ Max Portable (International Version) is here

Ó

Pentavision's DJ Max (DJMAX, DJMax) started out as a multiplayer online game in Korea. It's a rhythm action game, so you have to push keys in time with the melody or beat (if you've played a game that had the words Dance-Dance in its title, you know what we mean).
  • English version! Now there's an English-language version for the PSP: DJ Max Portable (International Version). Yup, "completely English", says the Play Asia description.
  • Features. There's one new song ("River Flow" by Planetboom). Tracks still come in a wide variety: Techno, K-Pop (Korean Pop), Break beat, Rock, Hip Hop, etc. You can adjust speed and fader, and play a mirror mode. There are lots of other features. Our favorite: Ranking Chart so you can show off just how good you really are. There are unlockable tracks and items in the Gallery Mode.
  • Gameplay. Depending on the difficulty setting, you play with four buttons (left, up, triangle, circle) or six (left, up, right, square, triangle, circle). The L/R buttons are used to change the speed.


Update: Sorry if I wasn't clear. Play Asia has this on stock and they say they can ship it (usually) within 24 hours. Also, thanks to Reneid Klein for this gameplay video. This is a waaay old gameplay vid of the Korean version, but it's more effective than any "brand new picture" of the English version. You get to see what the hardest setting is like.

So now you know three things: 1) the old Korean version is easy to learn but has songs that are hard to master, 2) the English version has one extra song, and 3) yes, the English version is already available. I am so sorry for any confusion!

# good gameGuest 2006-10-24 10:02
The original game was almost completely in english anyway. The only thing in Korean is the text when you unlock things (it pops up telling you what you unlocked).



Guess it didn't take much translating, haha.



An extra song is neat, but odds are you'll never unlock it or have the skills to play it anyway. The game is awesome fun, but extremely difficult.

# Best music gameGuest 2006-10-24 11:23
This is the best music game I've played. I own Guitar Hero and played every DDR song on PSP Revolution, this game beats them both.



As people have said, it's mostly in English already. I'll probably buy the english one anyway for the new song and seeing what the menus say. For anyone who hasn't seen the game in action, here's one of the more popular songs played on the hardest setting:

# This is why it's HOTGuest 2006-10-24 11:51
This is why DJ Max is one of the hottest games ever... you know it's big if they're coming out with an International Version.. too bad the Korean version is already in English, aside from minor text. But one new track...?? they shouldve added more...

# i own dj MaxGuest 2006-10-24 13:40

# actually 8 buttons.Guest 2006-10-24 13:44
there are four button, six button, and 8 button modes.

thats dpad left/up and triangle/circle for four, add dpad right and square for six, and L/R ass bass/background effects for 8 button.



using L/R to speed up/slow down is optional.



Yes, i own the game, so i know. no, i cannot play oblivion on the whatever "max x2 hard version", i'm still only middling at 6-button mode. i can ace any 4-button, though. :)



there are maybe ten-fifteen songs i really like, but most are suitable for button mashery anyway... too much jpop for my taste, but eh. I alos wish the one rap song on there was less... white... and used more than simple flash animation as a bg.

# YeahGuest 2006-10-24 14:21
When I said the hardest setting I meant that it's on the Max setting. The hardest MODE is 8B. He's playing the hardest setting on the normal mode.



Sorry for any confusion.

loll damn is this suppose to be a button smasher?

# no..AzN_PlaYEr 2006-10-24 17:31
You're fingers would probably get too sore from simply buttonmashing on the psp. If played right, you'll get used to just pressing the buttons n not mashing them because later on, you probably wouldn't be able to get through half of the song.
