Music, tempo and precision: the rhythm game makes the controller and the soundtrack pulse in unison. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Forty-two tracks including new Niconico producer hits, plus playable Kagamine Len and Rin; Project Diva 2nd genuinely polishes the formula. The virtual room gains charm; probably the best PSP entry into the franchise."
"Fifth entry bringing new tracks and an improved interface. The series begins gaining maturity. A solid transitional entry that satisfies fans while continuing to expand the franchise's music catalogue."
"Guitar Hero dedicated to the 80s with a selection of classic rock and metal from the decade. A nostalgic journey through the decade's excesses that will delight fans of this musical era. Less novelty than main entries but a solid tribute to the period."
"A one-of-a-kind concept never matched, as hypnotic as it is demanding on your sense of rhythm. The difficulty can stiffen toward the end, but the infectious energy of the drums carries everything."
"Guitar Hero precursor rhythm game created by Harmonix. The player navigates a hexagonal music track activating sequences. Innovative concept, eclectic music content and excellent replayability. A cult rhythm game curiosity, founding the future success of Harmonix."
"Guitar duels against cosmic enemies riding an inventive rock-pop score that lingers long after the credits; Gitaroo Man Lives is an adorable rhythm UFO. The timing is exacting, but stringing it together is pure bliss."
"Anniversary edition celebrating ten years of IIDX with a rich track selection and polished presentation. The 7-key format is demanding but rewarding. A strong series milestone appreciated by veterans and serious newcomers alike."
"Rocksmith 2014 is the enriched version of the guitar learning game with new educational features. Learning electric or acoustic guitar by playing real songs. Revolutionary and effective method."
"Pop'n Music 14 Fever! cranks up the heat. More tracks, tougher charts and a contagious buzz. For players who already own the nine buttons, an absolute blast."
"Encore version of Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s with a different complementary setlist. A welcome expansion for fans of the first Rocks the 80s wanting more decade classics. Consistent with the first entry in style and selection."
