Popstage Online Review

E-mail Print PDF

PopsmainPopstage Rhythm MMO Music game is one of my favorite music games of all time.  Not just because everything is so cute and cel shaded but the song selections are very good and new songs come out almost weekly.  By the end of this week they will reach over 100 songs!  So why play Popstage other than all those other music games? Let's find out why inside!

Solo Practicing! in HD Mode

Your character gender is linked to your account so if you want to play girl or boy character tough luck!  Unless you can get a friend to help you with their own info so that you can play as their specific gender.  Anyway once you log on for the first time you are prompt with three avatars for your gender type.  You can unlock other hairstyles and faces in the shop later among many other things.  Let me warn you guys now I am no good music rhytm games haha so when watching the upcoming videos please forgive me^^.

Popstage has a lot of items to offer in it's in-game shop not just your usual clothing store.  You can buy hair styles, faces, emotes, custom boards, custom music buttons and special set clothing. Or if you would like to save money you can do group missions and unlocks.  By playing a certain songs with a full party you can unlock medals which can accumulate and you can collect your set special reward either it be a lot of gold or a set clothing that lasts a month.  The only down side to this is you have to match some players game mode and you must finish it before the end of the month because these group quests change monthly!

Shopping Store!



The music selection in this game is pretty good mostly all pop but none of those hip hop latest songs that you would hear from the radio.  Most of the songs I say can be related to Anime'ish style which fits the mood and theme of this game.  There are some songs you may notice that are from other games like Sneak2, Cross Time, and other songs by Brandy.  I have yet to find a Popstage song that I dislike playing.

For all the Godly Music Expert Players fear not this game will satisfy you guaranteed!  Huh!? Well there are a total of five game modes EZ-Easy NM-Normal HD-Hard EX-Extreme HH-Insane I put insane because I can't remember what HH stands for... but anyway EZ mode is too easy and perfect for people who are just getting into music rhythm games.  There are also two modes of button play there is 5-key for starting beginning players and 7-key for the more advance players.  The game slider speed can also be adjusted to fit your needs from 1-8 from 1 to being turtle slow and 8 lightning fast~!

Coop Mode Preview NM-Mode



There are two main game modes one being VS mode where you can VS up to a total of 6 players and the best one wins!  You can't pick your mode in here so if the room is set on HD everyone in the group has to play in HD mode.  Then there is a Coop mode in which you can play any game mode you like so that you don't bring your team down.  In Vs mode the lobby is a little different you can actually run around and interact with the players instead of just joining a room that is ready to play you actually have to meet up with them in this lobby first.  Somewhat interesting.

Running around in the lobby~

Anyway to cut things short even if you are a busy person like me I always found myself logging on this game to play a few songs to satisfy my music gaming needs~!  Think you need to give this game a shot and show those people your music skills~ gogogo!

Oh and is there an English version of this game? (I google it, but all I get is "Postage Online"...?)
[Sorry for the double post, but I don't see an edit button in my older post o-O. Either that or I must be blind~]

....This game is region locked...How in the world did you guys get passed the KSSN part or registration? If you used a generator/Google'd it (Or any other method that involves you using a KSSN that is not yours), that's considered identity theft (2~3 years in prison, bro! Scary!) - I am strongly against breaking the law, so I'll wait until it comes to North America or SEA to play it. (Wait, if Steparu was playing this game, that means she has a KSSN, meaning Steparu is Korean? Unless MGames gave Steparu an account to review this game...Not sure.)
