With a beautiful soundtrack and visuals to match, you can’t go wrong picking this game up for the Wii. Thankfully, the game is priced at a budget-friendly $30. Still, the game doesn’t take longer than a few hours to beat if you’re just pushing through it. There’s a bunch to unlock by perfecting each game as well, so that will keep you busy for a while. The game also packs in four challenges remastered from the Japan-only GBA version. However, a bulk of the game involves you earning medals (which are earned by making minimal mistakes) and unlocking various extras. Get through each stage with at least an “OK” grade and move on. With your visual cues being obscured, you have to rely on the sound cues to lead you through the end of the song.Īll in all, the game’s task is simple. For example, in “Samurai Slice,” you’ll see a story overlap the task at hand about why The Wandering Samurai is fighting demons to begin with. Visually, you’ll notice your task being blocked out by stuff that fits in extremely well to the setting. In various levels, you’ll experience tempo changes and intentionally-offbeat rhythms, forcing you to quickly adjust. The game’s graphics and sound are both used to draw you in, as well as throw you off. If you fail (which you will, when you first play a couple of the stages), you can blame it on your inability to keep the beat. While the game does have its difficulty spikes, this is one game you can’t blame on controls. The remix is a compilation of previous challenges in the set, and tests your ability on how well you know each of them in a rapid-fire way. Many of the games require you to either hit the A button or both the A and B button.Įach set contains four songs and a remix to wrap things up.

Think of it like Space Channel 5, but they’re not yelling the commands directly at you. There’s always some sort of steep learning curve with rhythm games, but Nintendo managed to make the gameplay simple enough for almost anyone to pick up. While games like Guitar Hero/Rock Band or even Dance Dance Revolution force you to respond to the music visually, Rhythm Heaven Fever manages to capture players with sound cues through the character’s actions. This game in particular manages to capture something that many rhythm games attempt to do.

And I mean that in the best possible way. From kicking a ball away from a bunch of gophers on a date, to interviewing a muscular wrestler and posing for the fans, to high-fiving monkeys in a watch, Rhythm Heaven Fever is as ridiculous as it is quirky.
