Ah, thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to grab it as soon as it happens.

This is the one time my insomnia has done me well! Downloading the installer to the game now! Mkid 1, insomnia... Well, at least I got a point in!

The only issue I have is... where in my music collection do I even begin?

Start with your weirdest songs. I'd say.

I just attained number 1 in Symphony on Hammerfall's "Hearts on Fire" with 62,300 points (I died twice, otherwise I would have earned 70,000 points). Since it's one of the band's more well known songs, I expect to be dethroned once this game approaches the same level of popularity as a game like Audio Surf.

Among many, many more whose CDs (that I own) I haven't yet ripped onto MP3 format.

The Russian translation is rather disappointing to be honest.
I really want an English version.

I wonder how extreme DragonForce would be... I know it is very hard on guitar hero. :P

Oops! I was waiting for an e-mail alert about this release. I guess I should check my notification options.

Can't wait to get back home and try with my j-pop/ost collection.

EDIT: setup_symphony_1.0.0.7.exe ? What happened with the previous builds? Poor things...

Gonna try 2112 by Rush... the complete version.


Edit:

Scratch that, won't let me play it.

You don't know how good this game is if you didn't try it with Tropico's soundtracks.
