Beatmania IIDX tasks the player with performing songs through a controller consisting of seven key buttons and a scratchable turntable. Hitting the notes with strong timing increases the score and groove gauge bar, allowing the player to finish the stage. Failing to do so depletes the gauge until it is empty, abruptly ending the song.

Notable songs from this version include: • DIVE ~INTO YOUR HEART~ - an English-language remix of BeForU's debut song by Naoki and Paula Terry. • Night of Fire - a remix of the popular Eurobeat song. • Flowtation & Fly Away - two songs by UK trance artist Vincent de Moor. • PARAPARA PARADISE, Romeo & Juliet & Yesterday - Avex Trax Eurobeat licenses along with Night of Fire. All three of these songs have also been included in Konami's ParaParaParadise. • 電人イェーガーのテーマ (Theme of DENJIN J) - the first song of LED's Denjin Jaeger series, which would later be extended with several other songs in future styles.

A home version of 6th Style was released in Japan for the PlayStation 2 on July 18, 2002.

The game also features "Drill Mode", an unlockable artwork gallery, Tatsujin movies, and the ability to view the videos from the songs.
