Rhythm Heaven is AMAZING!!! - Dark Jaguar - 7th November 2013
Early this week, I picked up a copy of Rhythm Heaven for $5 in a bargain bin on a lark. (By which I obviously mean the bin itself was on top of a lark.)
I should preface this by saying the Wario Ware series has, as of late, been upable to recapture the magic of the first few games. They are mini-game collections, yes, but lack that "a bunch of mini-games back to back" factor.
Well, it seems that team ended up making a new series, and that's what Rhythm Heaven IS! You start off on each "tier" playing 4 mini-games, then they are all tossed together in a "Remix" that's basically Wario Ware, but with one difference. That difference is the rhythm, the rhythm is gonna get ya. You see, every mini-game has a song, a beat. You can play each mini-game, technically, just by listening to the beat and not even looking at what's going on (though the visual cues do still help). The remixes create a whole new tune to tie in a bunch of previous mini-games, so it doesn't get stale. It is also COMPLETE INSANITY.
I fell in love with this impulse buy within a day. I then went back to the store and picked up a Wii game released just last year called Rhythm Heaven Fever. I have no idea how I missed out on this gem! This is one of the best best things ever ever!
This is my new obsession, but wow, the demands on your rhythmatrix are beyond insane. The very last Remix remixes EVERY LAST ONE of the mini-games into pure madness.
Just to see if it could be done, I looked up remix 10 on youtube. These people are divine! Watch, and weep!

Am I alone in my love of this game? It's some of the best fun I've had since the original Warioware, and the rhythm twist really makes it feel like a whole new game.

I have the Wii version, but haven't tried it yet... a rhythm game? I have a very hard time imagining that I might actually like it.

It isn't "dance dance revolution" if that's what you fear, not even close. It is Wario Ware, a series of mini-games. It's just that your actions in the mini-games are done to a rhythm, and you play better if you pay attention to that rhythm. Watch that video.
