Disappointment
I am SO disappointed with this game... I waited impatiently for it, but alas I don't enjoy it AT ALL.
here's a couple of reasons why I didn't like it.
1. Overly overly overly complicated to make a song... Honestly, the system in POM 1 was much better, as it allowed for QUICK and EASY editing. Yes it became repetitive very quickly, but still... This system seems to be for "elite" only, people who actually know what they're doing (aka "designed the game"). This is just insane. It's like having to STUDY the game before being able to play it... I'll be the last to say I don't sometimes spend hours over a game, but that means hours playing it, not trying to figure out how it works...
2. The sounds themselves... I tried several riffs, tried combining a few, NEVER did it feel as cool and satisfying as the sounds I had in POM 1. It all sounded rather sluggish, soft... dull...
3. The gameplay... ok you added a new thing: concerts and the like. The control system for "playing your song" is HORRIBLE. Seriously. HORRIBLE. Too much keys, not clear when you're supposed to press the key, etc etc.
4/10 for the obvious BIG and LONG and HUGE work this game must have been, but seriously, I'm going back to POM 1.... sadly :( This game is NOT fun. I feel so bad of saying this, as I KNOW this game has very great potential, and that it IS a good game, but it just didn't answer to what I expected POM2 to be... I hope POM 3 will come to life, where editing will be easy and quick again....
