Definitions

  • the present invention has been conceived in view of the above, and aims to provide a game device of a music-oriented type which allows the use of a commercially available music information storage medium (such as a commercially available CD and so on) or a network distribution as a means for obtaining original data for game music.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a control method for such a game device and an information storage medium, a game distribution device, and a game distribution method for achieving such a game device.
  • timing guidance arrows 44 X, 44 A, 44 Y, 44 B fully overlap the corresponding reference arrows 48 X, 48 A, 48 Y, 48 B in order to get a score.
  • a player can in fact get a score commensurate with the extent of overlapping. Note that the timing guidance arrows 44 X, 44 A, 44 Y, 44 B are displayed based on step data (described later).
  • the head of the guidance display range corresponds to the current play position in game music, and the guidance display range moves toward the end of the music by a predetermined amount for every processing cycle. Accordingly, the timing guidance arrows 44 X, 44 A, 44 Y, 44 B gradually move upward as the music progresses. With the timing guidance arrows 44 X, 44 A, 44 Y, 44 B displayed as described above, the player referring to the game screen 40 can easily anticipate the arrival of operation timing.
  • step data indicates in which direction the direction button 34 should be operated or which of the buttons 38 X, 38 A, 38 Y, or 38 B should be pressed at the operation timing currently within the evaluation period. Therefore, whether or not a button operation which is to be evaluated at that timing is actually carried out is determined. Moreover, an amount of difference between the actual operation timing and the timing defined by the step data is also determined. A smaller difference in timing may get a higher evaluation. Specifically, the maximum score is given for no timing difference.
