5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, catchy title, must buy for Rhythm Heaven fans February 20, 2012

By Joshua Stroder

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This game is generally going to fly under most people's radar, so I felt the need to review it. I was shocked to see they had marked this game down to $30, and as such had to rush out and purchase it on day one. Sadly, after calling four places, nowhere seemed to have it. By the end of the week however, I had my hands on a copy of this gem of a game. Let's launch immediately into the pros and cons.

Pros:
+50 minigames in the single player mode
+8 two player games
+Music is fantastic
+Massive replay value for completion
+Games present a challenge, but overall seems to be easier than Rhythm Heaven on the DS
+$30 for a new game!

Cons:
-If you're not familiar with this series, this game can be really hard
-I had at least one game I detested (curse you Love Rap!)
-Could be longer, but my fondness of the game may have attributed to beating it in two sittings
-Noticed an almost insignificant lag problem on my friends tv that made the game unplayable at his house, worked fine at mine though

Overall: If you've played this series before, buy this game. I demolished this game, got 48/50 medals and a couple handfuls of perfects. I do not regret my decision, my only regret is I can't get my hands on more of these games. 5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular set of creative games at a low price February 20, 2012

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I purchased this game with knowledge of what I was getting into, as I had played the previous entry in the Rhythm Heaven series. However, this game was able to surpass my already high expectations. The game has a unique visual style and excellent musical sense about it. The rhythm games that you play are quirky and fun. This is the kind of game that is great to show off at a party, or to play with family members just for fun. The game is simple to play and learn, but difficult to master- using at most two buttons, the games are not extremely hard to complete, but are very difficult to achieve a perfect ranking on. The game is thus perfectly suited to young kids looking for a fun game or older kids and adults looking for a challenge.

I would highly recommend this game, as it makes a great addition to anybody's Wii library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game for a great price. (no spoilers!) February 17, 2012

!!!~HOW TO READ THIS REVIEW:
1. Basic thoughts and knowledge on the games (first paragraph)
2. FAQ's (the part between the squiggly lines)
3. WHAT IS THIS GAME? (everything that is not between the squiggly line)
4. Should I get this game? I know what this is about already. (read the last paragraph)

I would seriously pay $50 for this. This is such a fun game. Everyone will find something challenging in this game (or everything). Okay... so... what's this game? Rhythm heaven fever is like a collection of rhythm minigames for you to play. Each one is around 1 to 3 minute. You will first go through a tutorial to teach you how to play the specific game you are going to play (you can always skip it if you've already gone through the tutorial already). The tutorials are optional and helpful but needed. Trust me... you WILL fail the game if you don't. Each game have different controls!?!?! Think it's too hard? Don't worry because the only two button you will have to worry about is A and B. WHAT? NO MOTION CONTROL!?! that's not a bad thing... it's such a relief to hear that they didn't choose motion control for this because: 1. motion control is inaccurate 2. your arm gets tired 3. it gets too confusing. This game is so awesome! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I SUCK AT RHYTHM!!!
okay... if you do... don't worry :D this game will teach you everything. If you go "game-by-game" you should be a rhythm master by the time you are done. Each stage gets progressively harder but don't worry... if you ever feel like a stage is too hard, you are given the option to skip it (and come back to it later). If you suck at rhythm, it shouldn't be a problem. It just may take you longer to learn it than the experienced people.

I AM SUPER AWESOME THAT THIS WILL BE TOO EASY FOR ME. (musician? conductor? play an instrument?)
Well... I suppose this can be true for the first few stages... But hey! as you go further and further. Trust me... you WILL find one that is especially hard for you. Some stages focus on tricky rhythm like: switching from off-beats to on-beats, triplets to eighth notes, long rests, strange rests in weird places. THE POINT IS... out of all of the 50 main stages... you are very likely to find at least ONE (probably more) tricky stage. This is just to let you know that the difficulty WON'T DISAPPOINT YOU.

Played the DS or Gameboy version before? You will probably find the first 7 "sections" pretty simple, but the last 3 will truly test your rhythm skills.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SO... WHAT IS THIS GAME? This game have "columns" of games. 5 games in each column with a total of 10 column. Each column will include 4 games with one remix of those four games you have previously learned. The remix is basically a mashup of those four games with a twist of some sort (example: different background music, theme of the game changes, change of overall rhythm). I really find those remix very enjoyable and tricky at the same time.

When this game gets tricky... unlike most other games... YOU DON'T FEEL FRUSTRATED! They provides a demo for you to watch and practices so when you don't get something, you can always use those tutorials to help you. Plus, those cute little characters are just too cute to get mad at. The music is lively, the graphics are vivacious, the overall game is just... AWESOME.

Still don't get what I'm talking about? Search it up on youtube and you should be able to get a pretty good sense of what this game is (don't spoil everything for yourself!). Now... if you're reading this because you have some interest in this game... GET THIS!!! This is probably the last "good time" you'll have on your nintendo wii... (since wii u is coming out and developers are more focused on making games for that now...). You should also get this game because JUST LOOK AT THE PRICE!!! $30! wow! These 50 games are totally worth your money and did I mention about the endless games? and the 2 player games? and the rhythms toys? and other full-length games from the previous series??? GET THIS! well... if you are simply reading this cause you are bored and reading amazon reviews... you might wanna consider this game but be sure to make sure you are interested in this. The "rubric" for if you should get this game or not is that tiny interest in playing this game. If you wanna play this, get this. If you think this game sucks and would rather play your Black Ops... then don't get this. (hey don't get it wrong!!! I love my Black ops too :3)
