Advantages: Replayable as you try to beat your ratings and lots of fun

Disadvantages: None that I can think of

I cannot put this game down it is so addictive! Totally unlike any game I've ever played either. I am not really one for fighting or war games - I much prefer puzzles and things like this. I have to say though, you need to have a sense of rhythm to play this game as it involves being completely in time with the beat and the music. If you have no rhythm whatsoever you wont get very far in this game!

There are lots of mini games when you start this, and the idea is that you just tap the DS stylus in time to the beat. You get a practice/training screen to tell you how to play that individual game, then you go in and play it for real. It could be copying what someone on the screen is doing, tapping in time with the beat, flicking you stylus across the touch screen to make a different sound, responding to a rhythm someone else is playing, playing on a backbeat (which is HARD!), although the first few games are very easy - but that's just warming up! Some of the games include dancing with frogs, playing rock guitar, banging an Indian drum, swans pecking their beaks and many more!!

You cannot progress to the next game until you have got a 'Just OK' rating. If you get Try Again you must try again! However if you fail the game a good few times you can skip that particular game and move on to the next. If you get a 'Superb' you will get a medal - you can collect these medals to unlock mini games. One you've completed one column of games you get to play a 'Remix' which is a mix of all the games in that column. These can be very hard and need a few tries, especially after the first few remixes as you have to remember all the different rhythms and instructions from the previous games! Highly addictive though!

The game's graphics are nice and bright and colourful, although not the best I've ever seen, and some of the characters are hilarious. The game is at quite a good price too, about £20 last time I saw so it's quite a bargain. And once you've done all the game you can always go back and try to get superbs on every single one (on a couple that takes some doing I'll tell you!). All in all a highly addictive and fun game and definitely worth the money!

Summary: A fun, addictive game that will have you annoying others for ages tap tap tapping away!!
