Lady, I don't even know you!
The Charge:
Tap into the rhythm!
Opening Statement:
With the music game genre already stuffed to the gills with a glut of titles since it exploded into pop-culture conscience with the successful birth of the Guitar Hero franchise in late 2005, Nintendo; probably the undisputed masters of the casual gaming niche, look to be eyeing a piece of that fat money pie with their latest release, Rhythm Heaven for the Nintendo DS. The sequel to 2005’s Japanese only GBA release Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Heaven looks to take the simplistic, frenetic game play that developer TNX (the makers of the WarioWare series) are known for, and use the audio-visual improvement between the GBA and DS to stand atop the tide of lacklustre music titles clogging retail shelves worldwide. But just how loudly and how proudly does Rhythm Heaven sing?
