A Quirky Take at Music Games

What do you get when you cross Warioware with Guitar Hero? Well, you get Rhythm Heaven Fever, a series of mini games that tests your ability to match the beat of a song.
There are 35 different games available, but they all boil down to the same objective. Hit the A, B, or A and B buttons at the right time over and over again. The games include tasks like blast off rockets, punch a bag, slice monsters, pose for cameras, or hit golf balls into the hole.
But that doesn’t mean this game is dull or tedious. There are weird characters like you would find in the Warioware games, and the songs are very catchy.
But there are a few problems I had with the game. The two player mode felt like it was tossed in at the last moment (and it only has seven mini games available), and I didn’t like the fact that when you first get the game, you can only play one of the mini games and have to unlock the rest one by one.
Also, the later levels can get touch (especially that last one), and some material can only be unlocked if you get a perfect performance in a select mini game at a select time (which is really tough). This will annoy some players.
But Rhythm Heaven Fever is one that can be fun to play, and can be addictive. It’s worth a rent, and at $30, a possible buy.
