Gitaroo Man on PS+ was the best part of the show for me. So happy that many more people get to play an all timer that was lost to time for so long.

Got PCSX2 to sync up with the audio for proper inputs. Played Gitaroo Man again and forget the 9.5/10. I have no problems whatsoever. Every song slaps. It has such an uplifting character arc that strikes a chord so hard that I tear up at the payoff every time. The charts are give off an uncomfortable feeling in such a satisfying way that you feel like you're playing a guitar with a controller and not some guitar-like peripheral. This is about as perfect as you can get with a music game. My favorite PS2 game thus far. (I love RE4 more, but I deem that as a Gamecube game) A full on 10/10.
P.S. The initial release date should be June 21st, 2001, not February 20th, 2002.

Read moreI think I will be in my honeymoon phase for this for a long time. Maybe I'll learn to play the guitar to play some songs from this game. It struck such a chord with me. I love Ghost Trick as the hidden gem but that game has enough love to be among the top 250 games on Grouvee and Backloggd (just not enough love to make a following as large as Ace Attorney). Gitaroo Man isn't on those lists so it's even more hidden. So this is a new favorite hidden gem. Adding this one to "games I'll never shut up about". Best rhythm game ever. Why haven't you played this yet?
