In exchange for this requirement Respect V adds a few new songs and the new AIR mode, which acts as basically a radio you play along to with other players.

Having it on a laptop for rhythm game sessions on the go would have given it a big edge over its console version.

It’s a shame, particularly given the series legacy as a portable title. I haven’t personally had any issues with it, but others have had problems logging in when connected, and my fellow editor has found himself unable to play it in various situations. Let’s get this part out of the way first: DJ MAX Respect V is painfully tied to an always online anti-cheat program that makes it impossible to play offline. Respect V is generally that same game, but the changes here leave it feeling barebones compared to its console counterpart. When the original PS4 version of Respect dropped three years ago, both RJ and I adored it, and I personally found it to be the best introduction into the bullet hell-esque sensory overload of the series. Returning to the series PC roots, DJMAX Respect brings over the latest entry in the stylish rhythm game series, with some new features and major omissions.
