Rhythm Heaven

starwindx9's Rhythm Tengoku Gold (Nintendo DS) review

Excellent game with a hefty price tag

      This is an excellent game with tons of content, but it just might burn out a little quick for some. This is where the issue of price comes in. I personally love rhythm games and fell in love with this game, but sadly after beating it in a matter or about two hours, I was glad it was merely a rental.
      The games are fun and the music is great, plug in your headphones and you can really be absorbed in the songs. The only problem I have is that the visuals can be misleading. For most games, I ended up playing them with my eyes closed. The hard mode (unlocked by clearing all 6 remixes) is a welcome challenge as the normal games can be very very easy.
      To be honest, this game is simply fun. Controls can be frustrating at times, but they should never prevent you from clearing a song. My biggest hang up is the price tag. $35 dollars for a game I enjoyed but put on the shelf in less than a weekend. This is worth playing, but maybe for the penny pinchers, I would just rent it.

But after you get used to what it takes to make it work, this problem is pretty much eliminated. The only other problem with it is the learning curve. Now, I'm not saying you should be...

Rhythm games are great. At their best, they are able to take incredibly simple gameplay ideas and turn them into a fully realized game that's a ton of fun to play. And Rhythm Heaven is certainly one of the good ones. It takes the simplest rhythm ideas possible (ie, tap with the beat), and embeds them within a slew of crazily entertaining minigames. The result is an experience that is as fun as it is accessible, which is the truest mantra of any great rhythm game.At its core, Rhythm Heaven is kin...
