Is Michael Jackson still in the game?

They couldnt take him out with out remaking a lot of it... So thank god he is.

There is a dance off in the game, when you save Space Micheal, that is awesome... his solo vs the mech is amazing.

Just want to say I've been playing Space Channel 5 Part 2, baught it two days ago and I forgot how awesome it was. The dancing, the colours, the voice acting is really good for its time too... Ah, It's just a great, very 'Sega' game.

Much better than part 1 and less frustrating too.

Man I would love a new one... Rythem games seem to be quite popular these days with Project Diva and Rythem Theif, why can't we have another Space Channel 5!

I hope that more people will get a chance to get hooked on this game. Maybe that'll give SEGA some incentive to bring Q? on board for a sequel :D.

Weren't there supposed to be about 20 or so DC titles released by now? Why did Sega take so long with these 2. I don't get it.

If it means the ports are higher quality, I'm all for them slowing down the pace.  Although I didn't think it'd be quite this slow.  I think DC games are deeper and longer experiences than many XBLA/PSN games, so it makes sense not to flood the market with them so quickly, but I would like to see some kind of steady flow.  Two per quarter maybe.

I think they could get away with one per month.

Higher Quality? They're ports.. If some dudes in a basement can make an emulator that runs the games on 1080p, why can't Sega? Then just release game images one at a time.

Maybe it's more complicated, I dunno but..

With a bunch of tweaking, I've been able to get the NullDC emulator mostly working, but there's still significant graphical glitches, shadow issues, and instances when the controller simply doesn't respond correctly.  So I think it is quite complicated, and probably one emulator is not going to handle all the different game engines correctly.  Not to mention when licensing issues come up, as with the Crazy Taxi soundtrack that most people pitched a royal fit about.

Part of it could be getting ESRB certifications, and going through Sony/Microsoft's QA standards.
