I don't like either; they're too pansy for my tastes.
I played GF once (Avalon), and beat the hardest song on the game on my 5th try, and I've tried GH once and was able to clear songs on expert or whatever first try.
I guess I can see why some people might like them, but they're too boring for my fingers.
Also, the controllers are too light, too small, and too plastic.
My crappy thrift-store mandolin's bigger, and has better feel too.


You beat the hardest song on your 5th try?  I find that VERY hard to believe... unless you were playing 1st mix.

Which mix were you playing? =/
2nd mix, actually. xP
It's got, like, 20 songs or something like that.
They go up to 8, I think.

It was way easier than DMX, which is notoriously easy.

I'm sure that the newer mixes are probably way harder, but I'm not going to take 2 hours of bus/max rides and a total of 4 transfers just to find out.

However, at 15 cents a game, if Avalon or Milwaukie get 9th mix back, I'd be willing to try it out.
 
tada

Well, yeah.  GF4 (last GF to use the star system) went up to 10*.  Then it went on to the 99 scale which had to be rescaled at least once...

GF/DM ratings are changed in every mix, depending on the comments from players etc.. i think.. I've played 6th mix before.. and The Least 100 Sec BASIC is 90 on that.. ADV is 93.. and EXT is 98? I think.. Now, in modern version ratings, BSC, ADV, and EXT are 71, 90, and 97 respectively.  Some songs were rated notoriously low, while others notoriously high, when they first came out, because Konami didn't know what the response was going to be..  Sounds to me like you were playing something like Hypnotica though?.. That's like around 50~'s ish.  Not bad for your 5th try.. in fact very very good!! But certainly not the hardest song XD.. we'll, at least I feel better now.  I was sad at the thought you could have been better than me in one hour than I was after 3 years.. haha.

GF7/DM6 rescaled the ratings for every song.  Don't know if it's been rescaled more than that one time, though.

Nah, I'm generally quick to pick up rhythm games, but not THAT quick. xD

And come to think of it, I could probably SDG everything on DDR 2nd Mix no problem, but there's songs on SNova and Extreme that totally kick my ass.
So I guess basing any serious judgment off an early version is kind of silly.  Bad call on my part.

I'll make sure to try some genuinely hard songs when I have a chance to make amends.
 
uhhh

yeah its possible to pick a music game up pretty quick. i passed across the nightmare extreme for my first song ever on drummania... Cool but thats because i played actual drums and was already familiar with some music/rhythm games. also, drums and drummania are actually really similar (for the most part) which is why i love the game

Yeah, my dad's GF picked up drummania really quick too 'cause she plays drums.

Isn't it just an electric drum set hooked up to a machine pretty much?
