The same is true of that bloody cat that goes "Ba bam bu bum". "Wubadubaduba is that true?" is something that's been seared into my memory since 2011. One mini-game from the Wii version, Ringside, makes a return here, and I was ecstatic. It's like Rez, really, but rather than psychedelic visuals Rhythm Paradise goes for cute cartoon characters and sound effects. The characters are well-written but simple sketches, often by design walking cliches: and that's because this is really all about the rhythm. Its narrative is instead twee and sweet, and the game has a rather earnest tone that thanks you for playing it repeatedly. The game even acknowledges this at the first, gleefully noting this isn't one of gaming's "big and serious" stories. The promotion for the game boasts that this is the first time it features a story, but none of that really matters.
#RHYTHM HEAVEN MEGAMIX SERIES#
The series has appeared on the GBA, DS, Wii and now appears here on the 3DS. "All you do in those games is press A and occasionally B, but they're amazing. Some of you might already know the Rhythm Paradise series, a simple set of games that task players with numerous simple rhythm-based challenges that last a couple of minutes a piece.
We're often a bit more focused on the big triple-A titles here on VG247, but every now and then one of us sneaks the time to write a story like this for a game that just bloody well deserves it. It's simple and, dare I say, almost perfect. It gets rid of all the possible complexities and strips everything right back: It's just about a button press. Rhythm Paradise (Rhythm Heaven in North America) is one of the best examples of that out there. Sometimes, the best thing a game can possibly do is focus. This game is tiny, but listen - it's amazing.
