RPGamer Impressions: Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure

RPGamer: In the end, I felt rather pleased with my time spent with Rhapsody DS. Even though the simplistic map and battle system initially make the game look like Fisher-Price's "My First RPG," the changes are actually welcome upgrades that make the game run much more smoothly. I have to admit that I walked away a little sad that I didn't get to hear any voice acting or beautiful melodies, but the NISA staff assured me that both were dutifully ported over to the DS. The music that I did hear sounded surprisingly clear for the DS, but its hard to tell how the main songs will come through. Either way, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure DS is certainly a title to check out come September 2008.

Pretty much. They just toss that plot twist in so stupidly.

Wait, how is Rhapsody a "Good Soundtrack?"

Anyway, the museum music in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is like the only song I don't enjoy.

Breaking Benjamins song in Halo 2 was way out of place, and awful.

Wedge193324d ago

So many albums have THAT song that just highlights how good the rest of the soundtrack is.

I dont want to even know why the $%#/ someone would thin any song in FF9 stains the soundtrack...

Just because a game is geared towards women doesn't mean men will catch cooties from trying it out. This list suggests men give Style Savvy: Trendsetter, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Atelier Meruru, Princess Debut and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure a chance.

I've enjoyed all the games listed here except for Hakuoki. Princess Debut is my favorite, and one every big burly man should play at least once.

Fantastic list.

If this is your way of justifying kiddie games, then do what you gotta do.

I hear "Fiddle the Bean" is pretty fun.

From the Artelier paragraph, 'the heroines are almost always female.' No crap sherlock!

Anyways, its true, one of the reasons I've never tried the Artelier games on PS3 is that it seems girly. Might give it a go as soon as the PSV port is released.
