Beatmania IIDX 3rd Style

The beat is back! Konami returns with Beatmania IIDX which adds to the five key/turntable setup by adding an extra white and black key to the keyboard. Also of note is the bass-pounding subwoofer under the players feet. Now you can 'feel the music' ... literally! This time, of course, you get treated to new music!

Start by selecting the desired options, then a song, and attempt to match the notes by pressing the keys and scratching the turntable in time to the music. Perform well enough, and you can continue to the next stage!

Multiple options can be selected before your game begins, which will affect gameplay in various ways.

Unlock secret songs: to unlock R5, era, and Schlagwerk Another (the harder version), move the first slider to the middle, and the rest (#2, 3, 4, and 5) all the way up. then press the VEFX button. You can select the another version of some songs while holding the VEFX Button down while selecting the song. To unlock 'The Safari', you must achieve a 555 combo or more at the final stage (have a 555 or greater combo before you finish your game).

This is an update to what has been called the most popular arcade DJ game by the "Guinness Book of World Records."

If you wish to play a freeware PC version of the game, go to http://members.tripod.com/~prjb/entr.htm which has a section for the simulator.

This version is also the first in the series to have a home conversion (for the Japanese Playstation 2)

The title appears on the marquee as "beatmania IIDX 3rd Style." Additionally, a large subwoofer under the players' feet sends the game's music vibrating throughout your whole body! Also, the second player's controls are opposite of those of the first player (i.e. the keys are on the left, the turntable on the right).

Another bemani series game.

Sometimes in worst-case scenarios, the DVD (or the drive itself) that provides the in-game video becomes so worn out or scratched that it needs replacement.
