Hi, everyone, I have created a blog about rhythm games. In my first blog, I am going to introduce some basic elements of rhythm games.
Here are some important terms in rhythm games.
1.You play the games with your eyes watching to the "beatmaps". Beatmaps are like music scores. The icons telling you what to do are called "notes". Beatmaps consist of notes. You may need to press some certain keys or beat the drums, etc. when seeing notes.
2.You play the games with your ears listening to the music. Music is the combination of tone and tempo. Tempo is the most important element in rhythm games. We use a unit, "BPM", the abbr. of beats per minute, to measure the speed of a song. Notice that BPM is a unit of frequency, and 1BPM=1/60 Hz.
The rhythm games I plan to introduce in this semester are Osu!, Taiko, jubeat, reflect beat and beatmania IIDX. I will emphasize on my favorite one, beatmania IIDX.
You can have a look on these games by clicking the links as follows.
Osu!:PSY - Gangnam Style
Taiko:紅蓮の弓矢
jubeat:dj TAKA feat. AiMEE - True Blue
reflect beat:dj TAKA feat. AiMEE - Broken
beatmania IIDX:南拳媽媽 - 香草叭噗
The games look so fun. But where can I find these games, I want to play,too.
回覆刪除I used to playing OSU! But I am not very good at it!
回覆刪除Maybe someday we can play together! : )
I do love the video of Taiko:紅蓮の弓矢 not only because I like to play Taiko,too but also because 紅蓮の弓矢 is one of my favorite song and the player is really good at playing Taiko.
回覆刪除You can download Osu! here.

The other games are arcade games, but you can play Taiko and beatmania IIDX with a computer. You can play jubeat and reflect beat with an ipad.
Have fun.:)
Do you like Vocaloid rhythm games? I like to play them before maybe we can discuss about that.
回覆刪除Do you mean "project Diva"?
刪除Hi 劉嘉元,
回覆刪除this is my first time to read your blog, and I think the topics very interesting! I've played "紅蓮の弓矢" on Taiko when I went to Japan two months ago. I really love this song, but it's a pity that this song can only be played in Japan.
I would like to read more essays on your favorite music game, beatmania IIDX since it is an old game with many "beautiful" songs, which touch me a lot.
