However, Megamix still makes for an inconsistent game.
To its credit, each section is structured with the older games first. Games like “Sneaky Spirits” and “Quiz Show” come with a stifling lack of music or flow, and they play out stiff and awkward.Ĭomparatively, games like “Hole in One” (from Rhythm Heaven Fever) and “Catchy Tune” (a new addition to Megamix) have such smooth flow that it is difficult to imagine Megamix without them. But as a compilation game, older mini-games from Rhythm Tengoku are noticeably worse than the newer mini-games. Megamix employs a variety of beats and off-beats, keeping the gameplay fresh and colorful. I’ve never played a game that is so mechanically basic, yet so brutally precise.Īfter a few hours, you’ll be jamming on time to sixteenth notes. The result is a remarkably unique game feel. With its bare-bones control scheme and simple win conditions, Rhythm Heaven’s sole purpose is to teach you to follow the rhythm. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero require prior familiarity with its songs to enjoy, whereas games like Osu! and Elite Beat Agents require a lot of spatial precision to master.Ĭomparatively, Rhythm Heaven is the ideal rhythm game for young players. Rhythm games have a long history of developers trying to innovate, but I’ve always had problems with its design. Megamix is more of a greatest-hits compilation of the previous three titles, with a handful of new mini-games. In terms of gameplay, Megamix is definitely a faithful sequel to the Rhythm Heaven franchise. The game even insists that the story isn’t really important. Rhythm Heaven games never had any story before, so the story in Megamix is used mainly for humour. There’s a story about helping a pink bear named Tibby return home to Heaven World, but there’s not much to say about it. Along with a StreetPass feature and a pachinko machine, there are also plenty of unlockables to collect and challenges to complete. The game is composed of a bunch of mini-games with simple controls. Rhythm Heaven Megamix is a rhythm game on the Nintendo 3DS, and the fourth installment in the Rhythm Heaven series. Based on my personal experience, it is often easier to relax and go with the flow than to focus and keep count. “Flow” is a term the game frequently uses, and it is easy to see why. Rhythm Heaven Megamix is one of those rare games in which it is impossible to play without becoming immersed.
