I find this quite annoying cause its not like coke music in the fact that you can get rated cause i would appreciate this game more it it were actually a game and not just stealing a minigame off coke music just cause it belongs to sulake. (Sry if you don't understand)

It isn't so much a game as it is a creative tool. Frankly, I like games that have a bigger emphisis on creativity rather than high scores or puzzle solving skills, which will probably make up the bulk of the VMK mini-games.

However, yes, I do agree with you. There should be more to the Music Game than just "Make a mix, Play on stage, lather, rinse, repeat."

However, I don't think a rating system would be the best way to go. During my time there (and I've recently stopped going back to the music game), I've always noticed that there is someone always boo-ing whoever is on stage thinking their mix is the best in the world. The moment they come up, however, everyone boos that person for having the "newbie style mix" of too much air or just that annoying screaming sound that most people do to be annoying while they are getting their credits for the hour/half hour/quarter hour.

Besides, in most of the games I play, a rating system based around creativity never works. It just becomes a popularity contest.

all it is is an easy way to get credits so i mean why argue if u can go there every 15 minutes and get credits thats 40 credits an hour and if u play for 6 hours that 240 credits i mean why want to make them stop letting u play it :(

maybe the game is seeing how long people will stay and dance for. there should be a dance marathon contest!

How would people be able to judge that what with all the connection drops that happen evey so often? There's no way, even in a span of two hours, for a user to "dance" the entire time without a connection drop at least once happening to them.

But if you play your mix 50 times you get an extra 200 credits, and if you play your mix 100 times you get an extra 500 credits!
