Tune focuses solely on touch based controls. Think of it as Guitar Hero with the Vita being a multipurpose instrument, rather than just focusing on a single one. A series of button presses can then become the songs drum track, the vocals in a chorus, a piano and much more. The DJ Max series tasks players to 'complete' various songs by correctly timed button presses to trigger various instruments or vocals. Since the Vita also boasts an impressively sized touch screen, it only made sense for the series to continue here with DJ Max Technika Tune. DJ Max Fever and DJ Max Portable 3 were both stellar entries for the music game enthusiast.Īrcades however already have DJ Max's next iteration, Technika, which features touch-screen enabled gameplay. The PSP however saw a resurgence in these Beatmania type games with DJ MAX, a korean take on the popular japanese Bemani series. The Beatmania series never really kicked off here, since we never got a sequel to the PS2 game of the same name. Bemani-style games have certainly been in decline over the past few years, at least in the US.
