Rhythm Heaven - Fun With Flicking

Since my copy of Elite Beat Agents didn't arrive and I had to file an Amazon A-Z claim for a refund I decided to go with the new rhythm game making waves on the DS, Rhythm Heaven. It reminds me a lot of Wario Ware. It involves either tapping, holding, and flicking the stylus on the touch screen. The games encompass all types of music (Russian, tropical, pop, weird) and have you doing crazy and interesting things that are hard to put into words. The kind of sad part is that the touch screen isn't actually used. It changes colors but no action takes place on it. The music is pretty fun and the games are challenging. Every 5 games there's a remix level where the rhythm changes and you have to figure out how to solve the puzzles with the new music. At this point, I think I still like the DS version of Wario Ware better, but that's not to say the game won't grow on me and it is a good game. I'd probably give it a solid B or B+ based on what I've played so far.
