It is known as Rhythm Tengoku Gold in Japan and it has finally been translated to English bearing the title: Rhythm Heaven.
And, boy, if it ain't heaven...
In this delightfully funny game, you get to hold your DS book-style, thus, you play the game totally using your stylus (and hearing).
Rhythm Heaven is a--as its name tels us-- a rhythm game. Ehm. You get to tap the touchscreen and also often times, flick the stylus on the touchscreen's surface, following the beat of 8-bit music or chiptunes, though sometimes there are some silly short cutie songs that you just gotta fall in love with after hearing them.
The game is divided into tens of short rhythm games each telling different "story," and Remix game where the short rhythm games are --err-- remixed.
Each rhythm game is funny, with many of them are so hilarious that they got me laughing so hard, I lose (There. If that's not one of the cheapest way to admit that the game beat you flat, I don't know what is); and each time we make a mistake, i.e. late to tap or to flick we'll get an evil eye from either a pair of monkeys, or a couple of ducks or whatever it is that accompanies you. You might even get a bird pooping on your mug. While you are an Easter Island statue. Now, THAT is funny.
And that's what I find as the biggest challenge in playing the game: Not to laugh and concentrate on the rhythm.
I sometimes find myself NOT looking at the screen and just use my hearing to get that "perfect-timing" to tap, and it often works.
The game is brought to you by the people that made Warioware games, so you know that wacky, crazy, insulting situation is the norm in this Gold.
