Rhythm Heaven - PAX Writeup

I was a huge fan of the import only GBA original Rhythm Tengoku, and was thrilled to hear about the DS sequel, even more so when I heard it was getting localised for at PAL release under the name Rhythm Heaven.

If you never played the original, the easiest way to describe it is somewhere inbetween Elite Beat Agents and Warioware (and indeed is from the same team as Warioware). There are a bunch of microgames thrown at you at an incredible pace, and they all rely on you using your ears, and rhythm skills to play along.

You probably need to play it to fully understand, but it's a really original and entertaining game, and this new entry makes great use of the DS touch screen.

A convention floor is probably the worst setting to play this kind of game, where the sound is the most important feedback you get from the game, but I still really enjoyed it.
