Yeah I reinstalled Curtain Call the other day and the music and the presentation and the meta game stuff is all really cool but as a rhythm game it's just not that good lol

The world needs more Elite Beat Agents.

AWESOME GHOST also speaks the truth. Platinum hard modes are awesome.

Hard modes I like: add more enemies with new abilities, make the player more fragile without buffing enemies much, take away some character abilities that are a crutch on easier modes
Hard modes I hate: turn enemies into huge HP sinks (sadly the default for most games)

EDIT: \/ Halo is indeed another great example of hard difficulty done right
