Rhythm Heaven

Tap tap revenge.

Drawn to the rhythm.

Many devoted gamers, for very good reasons, hate casual games. These simple titles are seen as the end of the medium, aimed at the lowest common denominator and sucking development times and money away from "real" games. But now we have Rhythm Heaven, a new music game out to prove that Nintendo can still make a "casual" title that can appeal to hardcore gamers, casual players and really anyone with the ability to press a button.   ...

Turn your DS into a rhythm making dynamo with this quirky gem.

" Even if you’re not a music fan you’re going to love Rhythm Heaven. It’s completely off the wall and unlike anything you’ve ever played on the Nintendo DS, not to mention incredibly fun and just as addictive. It’s awkwardly heavy in Japanese influence, but that’s half its charm – Western designers just couldn’t get away with some of the bizarre things that are going on in Rhythm Heaven. Hopefully North American gamers snag this one up as quickly as Japanese gamers did in the overseas version – maybe it’ll encourage Nintendo of America to localize the Game Boy Advance original as a WiiWare or DSiWare downloadable game."
