GuitarFreaks & DrumMania V3 - In Stock

Konami takes the GitaDora franchise into the edge of space where metallic themes and starry heavens serve as backdrops for the game's interface. True to Bemani convention, the latest GuitarFreaks & DrumMania allows axe handlers and drummers to express their rhythm skills (or lack thereof) in the comfort of their living rooms.

GitaDora V3 features songs from arcade version of V3 along with original CS tunes, revivals, and V4 previews for a total of 78 tracks to groove to. Songs of note include "Circles" from Thomas Howard Lichtenstein, "Riff Riff Orbit" by Mutsuhiko Izumi, "Keiko My Love" courtesy of Jimmy Weckl, "WANNA BE YOUR BOY" by Dennis Gunn, and "O JIYA" from ASMAT & emi. Perhaps living up to its name, "Black Sheep" has been alienated and omitted from V3 but maybe it'll break the barrier when V4 rolls around.

The list of game modes read like previous versions of GuitarFreaks with Arcade, Battle, Free, and Training in attendance once again. Players may also check out the Practice mode to get their bearings before plunging into the meat and potatoes of the game. The first production of GitaDora V3 includes a booklet from
Takayuki Ishikawa (aka the prolific DJ TAKA aka D.J. Amuro.) which features a V4 illustrations but there is no e-Amuse card.
