I'll reserve judgment for the actual gameplay. The idea behind it sounds interesting though.
suikaWill it let you play with custom music?
It shouldn't, since its PvP.

Free-to-play, but not “pay-to-win” – Free to jump in and play with deep customization, but smartly designed to preserve a fun and fair experience for all players.
hmmm.
The game looks really cool though, would really want to try it out. Anybody has any idea what kind of music the game will have? Dubstep or something? :o

Anyone else get into the closed alpha?
Ah, I haven't had an email saying I'm in. They're probably running it in NA first which can't help my chances.
Yea I did as well. Its all under NDA though so you can only talk about it in their forums. But I will say even in alpha this game is better and more innovative than most games that came out in the past 2 years.
How long did it take for you to get the email static?
I just got in as well, i got the email at 11:29 from info@harmonixmusic.com
Damn I didn't, game looks neat so I hope I do soon.
Was linked this video when it got uploaded by a friend. I think the dubstep in the video pretty much sealed its fate in my eyes.
Well, you can make frag videos that don't even need editing now!
I just downloaded it and played it some tonight. It's got some really awesome features that I've enjoyed. Basically everything is dependent on the beat, including reloading, and usually you get bonuses for keeping the beat which is really cool.
