Screens & Info Updated: 9/1/2004 Mastiff sent over a slew of new screens, this time showing off all the fun Namco-themed songs, from such games as Galaxian, Ridge Racer, Mappy, Dig Dug Xevious and even Splatterhouse!
In Technic Beat, players listen to music represented in the game by radiating concentric rings of sound. Picking up the beat, they dance into the middle of the rings and try to “catch” the music. If successful, they achieve the power to manipulate the sound rings and create entirely new music. As players progress and gain skill they are rewarded with spectacular visual displays, bonuses, and power ups. “Technic Beat is family entertainment with something for music and dance lovers, Namco fans, and anyone else looking for something different.” says Bill Swartz, Head Woof at Mastiff LLC. “Technic Beat was an extremely popular game in Japan, both in the arcades and on the PS2, and we are thrilled to see it released in the US” said Producer Masaharu Ogata of Arika, the game’s Japanese developer. Features: - Arcade mode – use the Tension Meter to measure your performance. Push it up and you’re on to the next round!
- Free mode – choose the songs you want to play. Save and replay your performances, and control the camera and music.
- Challenge mode – choose the difficulty level and let the game pick your test!
