Posted by Al Evans: Just another quick announcement to let you all know about our exciting third PlayStation minis title for PSP and PS3, Vibes, which will release on the PlayStation Store on June 8th at the price of $5.49. Vibes is an action-packed rhythm game that includes a lucky 13 music tracks, covering everything from Classical to J-Pop, to Psychobilly, to Punk. With three levels of difficulty your finger will be well and truly wrecked. ;)
Kombo: At first glance, the PlayStation mini Vibes appears to be yet another music game akin to Guitar Hero or Rock Band. You pick out songs and tap on the displayed buttons at the right time to keep the music going.
PSN Stores: "Vibes has a play-list of 13 tunes. They’re most likely not from artists you will recognize, but for only 13 songs, they are a real variety and I enjoyed the majority of them. “Hello” by Fake Elegance was probably my favorite track. Yeah, euro-pop, don’t judge. Each song has 3 difficulty levels a la DDR. You start out with a couple songs unlocked on easy and you’re free to go from there. As you get more high scores and clear more difficulties you unlock new songs and difficulties. I found some of the higher difficulties harder, (duh) but also found that sometimes the beats didn’t always match up with the notes I had to play. This would take out my combo and I would get a bit flustered. This is the only problem I had with this game. If you’ve got the music in your bones, pick this one up for sure… and here’s hoping for a couple installments of this game, with some tweaking this could be a must have."
They should add Move support to this game, since it's design goes well with this game's title. I guess it might require two Moves, though.
PushSquare: "Vibes is a competent rythmn game with a great visual style and a pretty varied track-listing. It’s unlikely to hold your attention for longer than five minutes at a time, but afterall, this is what PlayStation Minis were designed for."
Hopefully the gameplay has more it.
