what's better than starting the New Year by playing DJ Max Black Square?
January 05, 2009

i don't know what's better but i'm having a blast with it so far. the new batch of songs play and sound great and some of the old songs that i only got to play on DJ Max Online and O2Mania are back... Real Overdrive and Space of Soul, FTW! this game is no easy feat...especially on the mission modes where some missions require that you get 100% note accuracy on the song or FeverX7 with 2 million score which is a bit more feasible. anyways, right now i'm at the 5th club and i believe there are 8 clubs total.

also i got the Quattra limited edition. here's my impression of it. the box was a little bit bigger than i expected it to be. my eyes grew wider as i stared at the black diamond patterned box measuring what looked like a foot-long from all dimensions. it has a flip-top opening secured magnetically. the innards started with a tray with the PSP casing with game inside. removing the tray comes with all the extra goodies starting with the glossy cover artbook(the usual fare). taking out the artbook from the box reveals even more goodies. on the left is a box that contains the soundtrack to the game(4 cds in all), to the right is a box for the portable speakers(more on that later), in the middle is the special Son of Sun box where you can grow your own four-leaf clover, the remaining items were a bandanna and a postcard from Pentavision wishing me a Happy New Years. underneath the foam cushioning which houses all the goodies reveals one last item, a booklet with all the cutouts to make your own NB Ranger cardboard figurine..i got the Black Ranger. anyone whose played any DJ Max games knows what I'm talking about..

about the speakers, i was expecting some glossy hard plastic looking speakers with decent sound from the images i saw in the game's pre-release info but what i got instead were cardboard speakers where you have to fold them yourself into a cube. the cardboard doesn't look too cheap where they can tear easily though. it has some kind of laminate coating on it or something. the sound is flat and kind of low. this is the only thing that disappointed me. all in all though, it was a crafty thought-out package. i admit the speakers are crafty too...but in a cheap kind of way. still i think it was worth the 119 bucks i payed for it..the game was actually priced at 89..damn overseas shipping cost..here's pics of the inside packaging at Playasia..too lazy to snap pics of mine own.
