GuitarFreaks 5thMIX & DrumMania 4thMIX are rhythm games under Konami's brand BEMANI released in March 17th, 2001. This is the first GitaDora game to not get a PlayStation 2 port.
General Information / Changes[]
- Introduced a new difficulty system, rating songs on a scale of 1 to 99 in difficulty. This would be used for the rest of the classic series, all the way up to GuitarFreaks V8 & DrumMania V8.
- The difficulty system was also unified, now featuring three difficulties: BASIC, ADVANCED and EXTREME. While not many changes were made in drummania (as the game already had three difficulties), in GUITARFREAKS the NORMAL and EXPERT difficulties were merged, causing some charts to be removed. The EXTREME and EXTREME+ charts were also moved to the ADVANCED and EXTREME difficulties respectively.
- First of two games with MultiSession GDK, allowing you to combine GUITARFREAKS, drummania, and KEYBOARDMANIA together to play a handful of songs on.
- Secret note System was removed in GUITARFREAKS 5thMIX.
- Osamu Migitera makes his debut in the series.
- Long-time vocalists MAKI and Miyuki Kunitake join the series.
- System BGM is composed by Mutsuhiko Izumi and Hirofumi Sasaki, which would be used up to GUITARFREAKS 7thMIX & drummania 6thMIX.
- Total songs: 128 (84 in both, 24 only in GUITARFREAKS, 20 only in drummania)
