BIT.TRIP BEAT

I've owned a few version of bit.trip beat (right back to the original wii release) and I have to say that it is one of the best rhythm games on the market. It is deceptive in that is looks simple, but it throws a lot novel & mind bending challenges at you even if it is a memorization heavy game. The presentation of the game is fantastic both in the soundtrack, but also in the visuals. The 3 boss fights are varied and interesting. Now for the shortcomings of the game. If you don't like repetition and dying to learn new beat types you will probably not enjoy this game. There are not a lot of "levels" but they are pretty long. All that said, it's the sort of game that you will play over again just to get in that groove.

Thought I'd check this game out, since I like rhythm based games, but - mouse sensitivty at the lowest setting is still too fast (tiny movement of mouse, otherside of screen) - rhythm almost non-existent - several weird mechanics that make no sense at all
