Nintendon’t: Rock Revolution (X360, PS3)
Below is another rough draft sample of one of the entries of the Nintendon’t project.
Konami is a company so ingrained in the history of gaming with so many hit titles to their name that you can’t venture out into the gaming world without hearing of their endeavors. Whether it’s in regards to their Castlevania or Metal Gear franchises or their establishment of the Ultra Games “company” in the 1980’s to creatively circumvent Nintendo’s third party licensing restriction not much can be said about Konami that isn’t positive, except for whatever you can conjure about Rock Revolution.
Konami, and their extension company Bemani (a portmanteau of BeatMania, one of their most successful music-based arcade games), are responsible for some of the most successful and iconic music-based video games ever conceived. Speaking locally and generally Dance Dance Revolution is perhaps the franchise you might be most familiar with, but Konami has been responsible for so much more (mostly overseas). Unfortunately, though, not everything they produce can be a winner, what with the original incarnation of American Idol on the PlayStation 2 being nothing more than a timed button masher and also with the train wreck that is Rock Revolution, the subject of this entry in Nintendon’t.
