Smudge-averse players should keep a cloth handy to clean up every so often. Besides pushing the Start button to skip the opening movie, nearly every game action from tapping notes to navigating menus is done on the touch screen. In fact, the game is almost exclusively touch-based. That makes the Vita a natural (if smaller) fit for the series, and Pentavision has fully committed to making their touch-based game work with the Vita’s own touch wizardry.

Whether or not that’s true, however, I did have quite a lot of fun playing a great rhythm game, and perhaps the first title yet to make the PS Vita’s primary gimmicks fun to use.Īs implied by the title, DJMAX Technika Tune is an extension of the DJMAX Technika line, an arcade series known for using a massive 22-inch touch screen as its main interface. To some, that would make me only slightly more qualified to review this Korean-born rhythm game than say, a chimpanzee, or a person without hands, or even someone who is vision- or hearing-impaired. Prior to playing DJMAX Technika Tune for this review, I could count the number of times I had listened to K-Pop music on one hand, one of those being PSY’s “Gangnam Style.”
