I have the PSone version of Vib-Ribbon. Great game, especially with friends and a bit o beer. The later levels where you have to combine an insane amount of button presses to the shapes onscreen is amazing, especially when you finally manage to figure it out. The game definately works best with dance music, or some kind with a steady defined beat.

There are 4 basic shapes (loop, rectangle, V pit and Wiggly line) that correspond to 4 buttons on the joypad (L1 R1 down and X). those are the only buttons you use in the game. but the shapes you see onscreen soon start to “merge” into single patterns and at first its like WTF do I press to get that? loop combined with wiggly line would be a wiggly loop for example, so youd have to press L1 and X together in time to the music for Vib to pass safely.

Shame it doesn’t work with PS3. It freezes up before level 1 starts. So if they do bring it out for PSN then i’ll be there buying it.

I’m actively seeking the Japanese PS2 Vib-Ripple and Mojib Ribbon (Sequels). I saw Mojib on ebay a few months ago but I didnt have the £80 asking price at the time and someone else got there before me. DARN! If anyone has them…..

Wahey! I owned Vib Ribbon; still do in fact. It’s always a good one to try out on unsuspecting victims.

The thing about Vib Ribbon is it works well with songs with a more defined beat. Works well with Daft Punk, but Metallica not so much.

I had the demo to this, and loved the packaged song (totally obscure like the one in that video). I tried picking the game up on Ebay recently but wasn’t really prepared to fork out 20 pounds for it. Shame. Really hope it makes it onto the network!

I’ve actually played this game before. I’m not a huge music genre fan and at the time I was more of a collector then a player so only had about 30 minutes playtime.

But it’s basically a platformer where the level is dynamically created by the music playing. In the interview Matsuura was talking about ‘if’ it came to the PS3 on PSN he would like to see it use MP3s also. Might be interesting for this genre’s fans.

Strange game if thats what it is. I like the sketchy drawing idea but the game can use a little more help in the art department. This comment is coming from an artist.

For some reason I really want to play it, lol. Gotta love unique gameplay.

Looks cool… never played it

BUT I love REZ (still playing it!!) and Vib Ribbon is similar to it
