Rhythm Heaven full review

Rhythm Heaven 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 in the actual gameplay. It changes colors but no action takes place on it. The music is 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.
There are over 30 games to choose from, and after the credits challenge versions of 20 of those games unlock. You’ll do everything from play a lizard trying to attract a mate to a dog ninja slicing vegetables and skillets. The cute and weird nature of the games makes it hard not to be engaged. It is a little short and you can conceivable finish it just a few hours. It’s a great game to have with you on a bus or train commute as mini-games last for just over a minute, and the fun addictive nature will make each play a pleasant experience.
