During an audition, an aspiring star attempts to impress talent or casting agents by singing and dancing. Move and flow like Deer Park Spring water and you might get a callback. Audition Portable is sort of like that. Based on the popular Audition Online game for the PC, PSP players get to follow arrow cues ala DDR and watch as their onscreen dancer performs. If you hit the cues brilliantly, the dancer sways and spins like a hero. Botch the cues however and your tiny dancer may appear to be inebriated as her two left feet get in the way of themselves.Audition Portable features a 67 song track list with a mix of Korean pop, trance, club music, and more. While one can play the game solo, a network mode option allows up to six players to participate. As mentioned earlier, the cues consist of a sequence of arrows that point north, south, east, and west. To match them, tug on the d-pad accordingly in the directions as they appear. Once the string of cues have been hit, wait for the "closing cue" to complete the move. As you finish each string, you'll be ranked with "Miss," "Bad," "Cool," "Great," and "Perfect." Chain a number of "Perfect" rankings together and you'll be earning bonus points to scale up your score and racking up Den points. For the uninitiated, Den is the coin of the realm in the world of Dance Battle Audition. With a man-purse full of Den, players may purchase goodies and outfits. Occasionally, a red-colored arrow cue appears which indicates a reversal move. For example, if a red up-arrow appears, push downwards on the d-pad. «more»
