Advantages: Very funny themes and background stories, great fun

Disadvantages: Not a lot of songs

When I bought this game I had no previous experience with rhythm games and I heard this one was described as a bit eccentric, not for everyone's taste, but if you take the plunge it would be a lot of fun. This was pretty much true. The game is controlled with the stylus and requires you to tap and slide in the correct location at the correct time (usually with the beat!). This starts easy and it gets quickly really hard, sometimes bordering on insane. It can be frustrating but once you learn and are doing it correctly on a hard song, you'll feel exhilarated. The animated backgrounds are the funniest thing in the game and the one that will keep you coming back. They describe the general theme of the game, which is music as a redeeming force. The range of songs is not huge, but each one has different difficulties and ratings that require you to come back to see the better endings, unless of course you get everything right at the first try! It won't last very long, however. And it's definitely not for all tastes!

Summary: It depends on you. If you like the genre and you are not easily frustrated, you'll be rewarded!
