Adventure Dipped in Love and Music
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a musical role-playing game, based on the theme of love and friendship. The cute game has been brought to the Nintendo DS by NIS America, which is a subsidiary of Nippon Ichi. The game casts the player as a young girl named Cornet, who is in love with a prince. Cornet is a peasant girl and she is extremely infatuated with this prince, whom she has never actually seen but met in her dreams. Now, the “adventure factor” in this love tale is added as Cornet possesses special powers, which help her to rescue her prince charming from a wicked witch.
Cornet is not an ordinary girl. She is special because of her ability to communicate with puppets. That’s why she is accompanied by many dolls, including one named Kururu, in her journey to win the heart of her love. Kururu is both a doll and Cornet’s best friend, and he assists her throughout her adventure in the game. The gameplay proceeds further with the presence of a detailed map on the topmost screen, which serves as a guide to simplify the floor plans.
The best part of Rhapsody is its pleasing and charming presentation, which look amazing with the 2D sprites and colourful ambience.The game comes from the makers of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, and the animation is very similar. This visual ecstasy is definitely enhanced by the sweet and melodious musical effects. The Japanese melodies are clear and engaging, adding up to the fun. So if you cannot wait to experience the thrill of stealing a handsome prince’s heart, quickly get Rhapsody to enter the world of Cornet.
