MediaKick Review: Beat The Beat: Rhythm Paradise

MediaKick: "Originally dubbed Rhythm Tengoku in Japan, the debut Gameboy Advance title never left those shores. The premise was simple; beat the mini-games by keeping in time with the beat by pressing the buttons. It was so popular that when the DS sequel saw crazy sales in Japan, the rest of the world got to sample the craze, like the more recent Zumba fad. But the input style had changed from the simple and infallible buttons to the imprecise touch-screen flicking method. There was a fear that Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise for the Nintendo Wii would also do away with the button inputs in favour of tacked on waggle controls. Of course, this isn’t the case; but does it keep to the tempo or has it lost its groove?"
