It's somewhat comparable to Space Channel 5, I guess? You really have to play attention, the game will prompt you with choices, and you have to hit them on beat without any real cues.
It's a NIGHTMARE on modern TV. I had to deliberately hit the buttons a split second afterward when playing mine on the PS3.
Yes, Bust a Groove 1 + 2 are unplayable on the PS3.
Well, with the franchise declining as it has, that's hard to say.
What's your evidence for this?
Y'know, I've never actually played this one, what is the gameplay like? Is it (mostly) okay on a modern TV?
It's like a dance battle game. Modern displays are fine as long as you're playing on a PS1 or PS2; the PS3 cannot play Bust a Groove 1 or 2 reliably.
I think they're healthy enough if Yako Taro still puts an element of them in the two drakengard games he made.
I don't think the appearance of a rhythm minigame in a niche RPG series is reflective of the genre's health in general.
Kickbeat is available on PS Vita but I don't know if it supports custom music like the PC version.
Nobody should play Kickbeat. It's dreadful.
