Beatmania combines high-energy pulsating music with cutting-edge videos, allowing wannabee DJ's the ability to create and perform music. Unlike complicated sequencers or software that allows users to drop in samples and play them back, beatmania is completely designed as a videogame – with an emphasis on having fun and feeling the music. Utilizing a specially designed controller that features a turntable, players must mix and perform music in real-time by hitting notes that appear on screen and scratching the turntable at the right time. beatmania features more than 50 club tracks, including pop, techno, drum 'n bass, trance and house, and includes exclusive songs from some of the hottest DJs and remixers in the scene. Gamers will have numerous options, including two player modes that allow players to perform cooperatively or competitively and multiple difficulty settings.
