Button mashing, very poor gameplay and not even a hint of storyline are the best words to describe DJ Max Fever.
But despite the fact that the above sentence is accurate and right to the point, my job demands that I am rather detailed about the statements that I make. Well, if you are considering buying this game you certainly need to read this section of the review. I would also strongly suggest taking a look at some of the game's screenshots.
Clicking the appropriate button at just the right moment (right when the note is over the beat bar) you unleash a perfect hit. Get hits after hits and you start piling up the combos. Some beat you're supposed to hold longer than others so this is where using the other corresponding buttons come in handy. But this is also the problem. The way that the PSP button configuration is, there is no easy way to make this game flow smoothly.
Also, the speed that you have to hit techno notes is so incredible that this game turns into a complete button masher even despite the speed up or slow down button combinations. I've noticed that I do much better when I just hit the buttons randomly than when I try to concentrate and hit each note accordingly. The game's best features are actually the MV (music video) mode where you can watch and listen to 48 unique songs. There is also the record player mode that has 13 tracks for your enjoyment. Let's face it, if you get this game you're not really getting a game but you are getting 50ish songs that you can listen or watch. And maybe who knows... you might be one of the few people whose hands can keep up with the gameplay and the beat of the songs. And if you end up with the game and know anyone else that has a copy you can always just across the network and take on your friends and see who is the ultimate button masher.
