Last night I both played and beat Gitaroo Man. Specifically "Gitaroo Man Lives", the port that was released for the PSP. This is a rhythm game, so take alot of the opinions from me regarding gameplay and difficulty a side of salt.

Overall I really ended up enjoying this game, I think I fuck with the aesthetic most of all. This game originally game out on the ps2, so this was during the weird cartoonish era of rhythm games, I think I can draw comparisons from games like Parappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy. I just really fuck with this games art and vibe.

When It comes too gameplay, I found it pretty easy to understand. It definitely feels like the difficulty kind of spikes during the 5th stage (The first encounter with Ben K), but I think I went through that stage enough to just kind of be ok with the difficulty. Nothing felt too unfair though, which is cool

The music is probably my favorite part of the game though. Some of the best standouts were "Flyin' to Your Heart" and both versions of the "Legendary Song"

Overall a good play. Would recommend.
