Rhythm Heaven is a video game for the Nintendo DS and the first in its series to head to the west, whereas the previous installment (Rhythm Tengoku) only saw a Japanese release. The game is made by the people behind the WarioWare series.
[edit] Gameplay
The minigames featured in this title, unlike many minigame compilations released, are highly unique. Whereas minigame compilations are usually badly received, critics tend to adore the series for its innovative take on the tired genre, unsurprising seeing that it was constructed by the group who made WarioWare.
Games, unlike WarioWare, don't take mere second to finish, but nevertheless are quite frantic. Each game is, as its name implies, rhythm based. You'll have to time your motions with the stylus, touching and swiping at the right times. Sometimes you'll have to hold your stylus on the screen for a certain amount of time and then remove it to make an action occur. For example, in one game you'll hold your stylus on the screen while two, odd looking characters next to your own start to sing a single note. After the second one belches you'll have to remove the stylus to make your own character do the same.
