You know, that game where someone says something to someone, and they say it to someone else, and so on, but like it's a little different each time until something totally different is heard at the other end?
...
never mind, on second though that's not exactly applicable here. What I mean is, you two got to talking about something I didn't even say and somewhere along the lines OB1 thought that was what I said... or something...
Anyway, I actually would like to play this game, but I just wanted to make sure that the whole drum thing wasn't just some silly gimicky thing. If the whole experience depends on actually slapping those bongos around, then okay then, and it seems the full set isn't really all that expensive, so alright then. Honestly, I'm interested in this game. I must say I was NOT interested in Donkey Konga. Even though I've spent way too much money on DDR arcade machines, part of the experience was songs that were either good or just hilarious to dance to. The demo didn't have any of that classic hilarious Japanese pop music (there's a reason the animutation experience is so funny, I LOVE We Drink Ritalin), but rather cheesy 1980's music... That's not so much funny, or fun... to me it's just.... sad... So, since the demo confirmed beyond a shadow of a hedgehog that yes, Donkey Konga WAS in fact just DDR wth bongos and NOTHING more, possibly less, then I didn't really want it. This on the other hand... THIS seems like it'll be fun.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
