PS2 Beatmania IIDX 8th Style - New import

Konami's latest home conversion of Beatmania didn't require a promotional campaign to drum up the necessary preorder numbers like IIDX 7th Style did. The strength of 7th's sales sort of fixed that. Bemani's an aging franchise but the jaded old school contingent appears to be bolstered by a new generation of rhythm handlers. The 57-track listing on the back of the DVD insert features a number of familiar names and new inductees including: rainbowflyer : dj TAKA thunder : Lion MUSASHI airflow : MR.T DANCER : DE VOL Holic : TaQ Red Nikita : Osamu Kubota Small clone : Yu Takami jelly kiss : Togo project featuring Sana CELEBRATE NITE : N.M.R.    Another 30 unlockable songs and a number of modes such as Hi-Speed, Gallery, Battle, and Expert round out the latest IIDX experience.
