Technic Beat, "an innovative and addictive music game that allows players to actually create, alter and dance on screen to their own music", has shipped to retail stores across North America, exclusively for PS2, Mastiff announced. In Technic Beat, players listen to music represented in the game by radiating concentric rings of sound. Picking up the beat, they 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 spectacular visual displays, bonuses, and power ups. Technic Beat was developed by Arika.
