Why couldn't they just > use triangle, cross, circle, square? I think their choice of buttons makes sense. Non-gamer people who I made play Parappa had a very hard time learning where the buttons were, but my mother was able to play Vib-Ribbon quickly! Vib-Ribbon's layout is more diverse : two hands, up and down. Would it have used tricrocirsqua, you'd have to play all buttons with one same finger : weaker differenciation. Also, what would happen when you have to push two buttons simultaneously ? All combinations would not be practical. Of course there's a learning time, but it's not so long when you practice with the simpler songs. > Anyway anyone else played it? Able to recommend any good music to use? I was not happy with the auto-level-generation. Most quiet pieces produce an unbelievable mayhem, and heavy-rhythmed ones produce a flat boring thing. I tried some of my fav cds then got bored. When the level produced is good it does not fit the music. The original VB tracks are great, however! Thanks Sony for not changing them for the euro version (apparently) ! pal
