(I think that's the "Vib-Ribbon") She's always walking forwards, so you only use the four buttons that make her avoid obstacles when she reaches them. In Vib-Ribbon, Vibri dances down a white line about a pixel thick that stretches off into eternity in both directions. I may have read wrong information, or there may be two Euro versions. Usagi tells me that his European copy has all seven songs. The European version is in English, but you would need a PAL PlayStation to play it, and if that wasn't annoying enough, it's also missing one or two of the songs, because they had all-Japanese lyrics.
Once you look up what the menu selections mean (for instance, on ), it's not so hard. The Japanese version is in NTSC video format, of course, so it will play on modded U.S. Unfortunately, Vib-Ribbon was never released in the U.S., only in Japan and Europe. There's no randomization here, the levels are based on the song's beat and tempo, they are unique to a song, and are always the same for a given song. Since the whole game can be loaded into the PlayStation's RAM, you can take any music CD, and switch it with the Vib-Ribbon disc, and play that CD's songs as game levels. The great thing about Vib-Ribbon isn't the specifics of the gameplay system or the music it comes with, though - it's the replay value. All seven songs are tracks two through eight on the game CD (the first track is the game data), which is a nice touch for those of us who were immediately addicted to the catchy tunes and sometimes humorous pronounciations of the English parts of the lyrics.
The game features six tracks by J-pop group Laugh & Beats that were written to make good game levels, and one track sung by Vibri herself that teaches you how to play the game. Vib-Ribbon is a music game, and in some ways is typical of music games - the main object is that symbols move towards a point on the screen, in time with the music, and when they get there, you have to press a button, determined by the symbol. There's a good reason for this, though - because of functionality that will later be explained, the entire game must be able to be loaded into the PlayStation's RAM. Vib-Ribbon has primitive graphics - they're entirely vector based, white lines on a black background, like the original Asteroids arcade game. It stars Vibri, a stick-figure rabbit who is probably female - it looks like she's wearing a dress, although that's interpreted from the fact that her body's triangular and her leg-lines come out from the base of the triangle.
