On DDR it tells you to hit left when the left arrow reaches the stationary left arrow, at which point you hit the corresponding left arrow on the dance pad. In Karaoke Revolution you just sing, or for that matter hum. They are very straight forward. IIDX isn't as straight forward though. |
Just as Larrkin said, 7 keys, scratch - how non straight forward can that be?

Even more, it just plain looks weird. It's this obscure keyboard and the lines on the screen do not necessarily line up with the physical keys (like in keyboard mania or drum mania). Don't get me wrong, of course IIDX is fun (although i've only really played it maybe 3 times), but it's too complicated for American gamers. |
If by "line up" you mean be in the same exact place on the screen as they are when you hit them, then DrumMania is, in NO way, "lined up". KBM, yes, but that's the only Bemani where the keys are in the same geometrical standing as the keys on screen. But that's because it's the only bemani that pretty much needs it. IIDX, Pop'n, DM, etc - you can just get used the the controllers in those Bemani simple enough.
