Mastiff today announced Technic Beat, a music game for the PlayStation 2 that allows players to create, alter and dance on screen to their own music. Developed by Arika and featuring tunes from some of Namco's most popular games, Technic Beat is expected to be released in late summer 2004. In Technic Beat, players listen to music represented in the game by radiating concentric rings of sound. Picking up the beat, players dance into the middle of the rings and try to "catch" the music. If successful, they achieve the power to manipulate the sound rings and create entirely new music. As players progress and gain skill they are rewarded with visual displays, bonuses, and power ups.
