A few questions about the game

Will this game be around for awhile? Like, will people still be playing it around christmas time and still competing against each other here?

Also, ive watched videos and seen places where it just looks like barbed wire (Only thing i can think of) instead of directional arrows. what exactly do you do here.

Not trying to threadjack, but I also would like to ask a few questions because I might buy it.

1) How much replayability is there in the game? Are the songs/gameplay fun enough to get hooked onto it, or is it a one time play kinda deal?

2) How good does the hardware seem? Does it seem like it was designed to work and be good, or does it feel kind of cheap or like it might break down soon?

The barbed wire sections are "spikes." You move the crossfader in the direction of the spike extremely fast and then pull it back to the center. IMO, it's one of the hardest things to do in the game.

Eh, i guess i didnt explain it enough. Its on the Green and Blue mainly, and usually in the harder songs. Instead of an arrow Point UP or DOWN, its like a line of Left and right, usually really fast and close together.

It just means you can scratch however you want.

What you're describing is actually more prevalent in medium and hard. You just have to keep the disc moving in any direction at a relatively slow speed.

In expert you have to scratch in the direction of the triangle at the given beat and stop when there are gaps. Directional scratching is what makes many of the harder songs so hard (especially when you have to scratch in the same direction 4 times in a row very quickly).

Question: When you let go of the record, does it spin back into a default position? Or does it just rotate on a center piece?

It rotates freely as well. There's very little friction so it'll keep spinning for a while if you don't stop it.

In fact, the lack of friction does make certain scratches harder to control.

So it appears that the game is actually kind of difficult? Not something you can just pick up and go straight to 5*'ing expert? I want a new challenge, so I'm hoping this game can provide it.

After playing back and forth on H and X mainly [ I didn't bother with anything lower than H lol ] I can tell you this game provides a HUGE challenge in some parts, especially with things like the repeated single direction scratches and the scratch streams that change speed as you scratch and have you tapping the red button at the same time

Is the game worth the $120? Take note I only make $5 a week, so it's not like I am flowing with cash.
