Next, the game execution operation of the gaming apparatus of the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
In FIG. 5, first, the stage information of the selected content is read (step S21).
When the stage information is acquired, the preview screen is activated and the player confirms or practices the selected content (step S22). If the CM content is forcibly inserted in step S7, the game is first executed from the inserted CM content.
Next, when the content is determined, the player actually performs the performance (step S23). Here, for example, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 6, the game is executed while the timing of the back music or the like that can be heard from the headphones is observed while watching the movie release screen of the content displayed on the internal monitor 5. The dialogue that appears below is emitted toward the microphone 6.
The player's performance is evaluated by the timing deviation from the original voice of the subject (step S24). FIG. 6 is an example of CM-edition content performed by two people, and dialogues of two people are displayed at the bottom of the screen as 1P and 2P, respectively. Further, the scoring of dialogue is evaluated according to the evaluation criteria shown in FIG. In the timing table of FIG. 7A, three kinds of timing margins of margin A, margin B, and margin C are prepared as comparison targets for speech timing to be uttered as dialogue evaluation criteria, and (1) Margin A: Width at which evaluation is “perfect” = input start value ± 05
(2) Margin B: Width so that the evaluation is “good” = input start value ± 10
(3) Margin C: Width at which evaluation is “slow / fast” = input start value ± 20
It is defined as
[0020]
When the player's performance is finished, the gaming device determines whether or not the subject's voice and the player's performance timing are present (step S25), and if the subject's voice and the performance timing are present (step S25). YES), the player's points are increased (step S26).
On the other hand, if there is no timing for the subject voice and performance (NO in step S25), the player's points are reduced (step S27).
When the calculation of the score is completed, information reflecting the player's score and the score notified to the player is displayed on the screen (step S28). Here, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 6, the evaluation results are displayed on both sides of the screen by “gauges” that represent the player's score in a bar graph shape. The display of each gauge and the reflection of the evaluation result on the screen, as shown in FIG.
