An Addictive Rhythm Game
The Nintendo DS has another game on the block, Rhythm Heaven, created by the Wario Ware franchise. It includes minigames that are played at a frantic pace, in conjunction with a great and deep musical experience.
The first minigames will require you to operate a catapult, while square blocks are rolling in front. When they reach the middle of the screen, you will need to shoot the log through them, and do so while following the beat of the square’s movement. It’s kind of similar to games like Guitar Hero: On Tour (Nintendo DS), though of course without the guitar. As you move further, the blocks vary their speed and eventually the screen goes completely black except for a small ray of light in the centre. That may sound a little difficult, but if you follow the beat appropriately, you can play the game with your eyes closed.
The other two minigames, in addition to the catapult game, are also very captivating. One has you using a fuel pump in a robot factory and the other one has you playing as a singer in a row of three people. The beguiling beat and the sheer challenge to line up the shots would keep you engrossed for a long time.
The Nintendo DS has not only replaced the button pushes with stylus controls, but it has also kept the pick-up-and-play nature intact. You might find Rhythm Heaven a wee tough, but believe you me it will keep you pleased. I, just like you, can’t wait until this hits shops sometime later this year.
