The Wario Ware series is special in two ways: it's the only place mini games are anything other than achingly banal, and everything about it from its art style to the content of its nibble-sized chunks of entertainment is refreshingly unhinged. Produced by the same team, the same level of highly polished weirdery is at work in Rhythm Paradise, which, unlike other games found in the genre, gets you to undertake all sorts of tasks to the rhythm of a beat.
Rhythm Paradise is charming, funny, immersive, original, musical and... difficult! If your inner rythm structures aren't good enough to follow the beats of f.i. The Prodigy you'll be sweating like a pig if you want to complete the entire game. Those that love music, super original and refreshing minigames or like a challenge is at the right address with this new DS game.
Pros:
* Very original
* Good music and graphics
* Lots of variation
* Very charming
Cons:
* Sometimes too difficult
* Not always clear what you need to do
Gamerstek: "There are 25 unique mini-games, but its variants raise the amount to over 50. Each game is very different from the previous ones, meaning that each game represents a new challenge ..."
BG writes: "Rhythm games… bleuch! Oh please god not another bloody collection of rhythmic mini games on the DS - shoot me now! Although… this was made by the same guys who made the spankingly good Wario Ware. Couple that with the fact that this is the sequel to one of the titles that started the rhythm game movement way back on the GBA, Rhythm Tengoku… hum maybe a closer inspection IS required."
