Hace unos dias pase por el shopping de Devoto, y conoci este beatgame. Al principio no me parecia nada distinto al para para, pero cuando entendi como se jugaba realmente, note una GRAN diferencia.

Dance Maniax is a game from the Bemani series of rhythm games, published by Konami, with songs mostly from the Dancemania series of music, and shares many songs with Dance Dance Revolution. Instead of using physical contact to activate sensors, it uses optical switches to allow hands, feet and legs to be used in gameplay by passing them above or below the sensor.

Dance Maniax is a dance game that uses four optical sensors to determine player movements. Sensors are positioned such that there are two top and two bottom sensors on each side. In addition, special options (such as center play, doubles, speed modifiers, etc.) are accessible by holding the left arrow button, the right arrow button and the start button after credits have been inserted but before the game has begun. Center play is where one player controls the middle two pairs of sensors. Also, doubles play is where one player controls all eight sensors at once. By default, players are presented with a set of predefined courses, and are able to select one per game, or should they have started the game into the "options" menu, they may also define their own course, or Internet Ranking or Marathon courses(In Dance Maniax 2nd Mix Append J-Paradise Songs in Dance Maniax 1st where included in Marathon Course).

In-game, the songs are played immediately in sequence: as soon as. Notes scroll in a similar fashion to Dance Dance Revolution: four circles ascend and the player must move their hand over or under the appropriate sensor in time to receive an "OK!" The outer "blue" lanes are the lower sensors, and the inner "pink" lanes correspond to the upper sensors. Should they miss or not hit the sensor in rhythm with the song, their life meter will immediately decrease. Play continues until either all songs in the course have been passed, or it ends as soon as the life meter is fully depleted.
El juego consta de 4 sensores, 2 para cada player, o los 4 para uno solo. Al igual que en el Ez2Dancer, no es lo mismo pasar la mano por arriba del sensor que por debajo. Les dejo un video para que lo vean mejor.
