Description

Space Channel 5: Part 2 is a rhythm video game developed by United Game Artists and published by Sega for Dreamcast and PlayStation 2. It is a direct sequel to the 1999 game Space Channel 5. The game received a high-definition port to Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2011 from Sega.
In a space age future, reporter Ulala takes on a group called the Rhythm Rogues and their leader Purge when they unleash a dancing madness on the galaxy. As Ulala, players engage in rhythm-based combat through scripted levels where Ulala mimics the actions of rivals in time to musical tracks. Alongside the single-player story campaign, there exists an endurance mode called Ulala's Dance and a multiplayer option for both modes.
Part 2 was produced over two years by many of the same staff; it was the team's last game prior to being merged with Sonic Team, and the last produced by Tetsuya Mizuguchi prior to leaving Sega in 2003. Shifting to 3D graphics from the pre-rendered videos of the first game, Mizuguchi included several features based on the team's wishes and feedback from the first game. The music was composed over the course of a year, and spawned four soundtrack albums. The game was a critical and commercial success, with many critics citing it as superior to the original due to its improved gameplay and more varied soundtrack.
