PS2 Beatmania IIDX 15 DJ Troopers - New Import, Ships Today

NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» In the previous Beatmania episode (IIDX 14), the visual theme was sweet, glittering GOLD. The visuals of the fifteenth Beatmania IIDX release are built upon one unifying theme - WAR. Camouflage-covered dancers and maidens packing heat are only some of the clues that there's a battle or a gang of Bemani militia somewhere.

   The Playstation 2 conversion of Beatmania IIDX 15 DJ Troopers features a 90+ track list which includes 9 new CS songs such as
"Battle Train -IIDX Edition-" by Sota Fujimori, "Biometrics Warrior" from GUHROOVY fw. NO+CHIN, "Sidechained Threats" by sanodg, and "Beautiful Angel" courtesy of DJ Swan. The arcade song selection features 57 tracks including "JOURNEY TO FANTASTICA (IIDX LIMITED)" by S.S.D.Fantastica feat. Emi with Arata, "Blue Rain" from Dj Taka vs Ryu, and "Sound Of Giallarhorn" by L.E.D.-G. The remaining tracks are scattered in Revivals, Old Songs, and 8 Hidden music tracks (one of which is BRAINSTORM by Hardcore United Tokyo (teranoid & DJ TECHNORCH) that must be unlocked.

   Game modes include a Tutorial so newbies can learn how to get into the groove, Standard, Free, and Expert for the elite players in the audience.
