I\'m searching for two different opinions of this game:

A: Someone who loves Parrapa the Rapper

B: Someone who hates Parrapa the Rapper

Anybody play this yet?

Something is up with thegia\'s stuff.  It seems you can\'t simply view their images with direct links through forums anymore.  I have no idea what code it is they use, but they won\'t show up unless you view each of them individually on their site.  Here\'s a link to their review.  You can find the same pictures yourself I\'m sure.

Bleck, I went ahead and removed the img tags.

How come nobody\'s heard of it?  There\'s been adds and stuff for months, and the game came out on the 19th.

Anybody have a chance to play it?

*BUMP*

Well, I went and found a review. . . thegia.com gave it a 5/5.  The review was most pleasing, and surprising.  They had this to say in comparason to Parappa and others in it\'s category:

Just how the normally staid and historically-minded Koei produced a title like Gitaroo Man will perhaps never be clear, but it\'s an even more amazing accomplishment for how effortlessly it dwarfs the long-established competition. The Parappa and Space Channel 5 series have always featured strong design and quirky style, but all of their most stylish efforts were in the service of a basic, limited gameplay engine. Konami\'s purer tests of skill in the Bemani series have afforded more freedom to experiment with unique gameplay, but by ignoring the aesthetic side, they often end up as impersonal tests of rote memorization. By refusing to compromise on either design or gameplay, Gitaroo Man will both melt your heart and hurt your fingers, and you\'ll love every minute of it.[/b]

The game also has a 4 player mode!!!

I think I might have to snag me this title.
