Red Rocket Games' rhythm title Mevo and the Grooveriders has received an update now available for download. The download adds a few new features along with some bug fixes.
As you progress you gain points that let you unlock costumes, alternative heads, and new special moves. These include approximations of the four Left 4 Dead characters, but such affectations prove to have almost no effect. Each level has three challenges to complete, but if you achieve the Gold requirements while still aiming for Silver, they aren't recognized, forcing you to play through again. And then a third time for Diamond. And midway through the 15 levels the difficulty curve smacks you in the forehead. It's at a throwaway price, and for a few of the early levels it's passably challenging, but Mevo fails at its most fundamental task: to include rhythm with its action.
TheBBPS writes: "If you're an adult gamer, check out our staff's favorite rhythm games and play those first. If you're still craving more, maybe give Mevo & the Grooveriders a chance. If you've got kids who want a rhythm game, this may be one of the better choices over something like Guitar Hero, which requires more coordination. Mevo keeps is simple, and I appreciate that. I just wish the idea was better executed".
GameVortex writes: "If anything, Mevo & the Groove Riders taught me to not judge a game by its title, no matter how childish it may seem. Take this lesson to heart and dance on over to Steam or Big Fish Game's website and give Mevo a shot".
