NCS Product Synopsis
Update: November 22, 2006
«©NCSX» Prior to 2006, there was a drought in the world of homeward GuitarFreaks games since 2002. As of today, there's been three new GF games released this year and we're looking forward to a regular schedule of releases henceforth. A total of 68 songs are featured in the game including "Blood And Thunder" from Mastodon, "Metal Queen" by Vanilla Ninja, "Saccharine Smile" per Donots, "Burnt" by Brad Holmes, "Day Dream" courtesy of Mutshiko Izumi, and many more. Gracious tracks from GFDMV3 include "Micro Fin" by Rotten Blotch, "Ring" by Kozo Nakamura, and "Guitar Drive" by Handsome Jet.
 
   The interface is taken from the arcade version of GuitarFreaks with sweet and shiny bars, buttons, and sliders. The game is broken up into sections for GuitarFreaksV2, DrumManiaV2, and SessionV2 where up to three gamers may jam together. New entrants to the GuitarFreaks fold may hone their skills in the Training Mode which notches down the difficulty level while hardened axe handlers can test themselves in the Practice Mode. Once assured of your ability, head on over to the Arcade Mode and do your best to hit the cues with precision and dexterity.

NCS Game Notes
» An axe handler and a drummer who wears shades appear in the boot-up screen in an artistic rendition before the memory card slot selection appears.

» The intro features silhouettes of performers which slowly move across the screen with text such as "Burning The Soul of V" and "Live2Go!"

» Play Arcade and you'll be prompted to enter your name and select a character. We selected the sumo with crossed arms but other interesting figures include the brooding seated samurai, a grey cat with fork and spoon, a girl who looks like Sayuri from "The Ring," two goblins, Sid Vicious, and a lady hugging a pink rocket.

» Please note the START button is used to make selections in the title screen and menu options. Neither O or X work. At all.

» Game Modes: Beginner 2 Stage, Standard 3 Stage, Nonstop 4 Stage

» After setting the game up, you may select a track from five available songs at the outset including "Diamonds." When saying the word "Diamonds" there is usually three syllables but the singer stretches it into five syllables.

Region Lock-out
Please note Japanese Playstation 2 games will not boot on USA or European PS2 consoles due to the inherent region-lockout on Playstation 2 game discs.
