This pretty much makes up for the rest of E3.

That....looks rather interesting.

Rhythm Tengoku 2?

Oh heh, it's even the same name.

I loved the first one on GBA.

That music is so funky and wierd, it's awesome. The last song with the robots sounds like something earthbound-ish. Definitely intriguing.

Yeah, supposedly this is technically "Rhythm Tengoku Gold" in Japan but in typical gaijin fashion we pretend it's the first game in the series. :)

I'm just tired of seeing music games based around rhythm. As a drummer, I'm pretty damn good at it.

Now what if there were a music game which relied on tonality? You had to play, sing, or otherwise produce the harmonically correct pitch or scale dergree, or something.

[Dhsu]

Well I'm sure that would be as trivial for many people as rhythm games are for you. Also there are a couple songs in the Ouendan series that would give any drummer a run for his money.

That said, I recommend Gitaroo Man and Beatmania IIDX for tone-based gameplay.

I suppose this means we're totally ignoring the whole Rock Band / Sing Star / Karoke Revolution thing, right?

Either way, I think pitch and tone something a lot of people just might never get, even with practice. Or...at least get over a LONG period of time as opposed to something that's rhthym based.

Also: I know a LOT of IRL drummers that can't play Rock Band's drums worth shit...

I've played trumpet for over 12 years now, I did marching band for 4 of those, I've had a love for music my whole life (oh...and I'm not a white person. Does that still count for rhythm?), I'd say rhythm is pretty much embedded into my being, but I wouldn't say that it's made me so good at rhythm based games that I simply can't find them enjoying anymore. I'd infact say if gives me a slight, if any, edge on non-musicians.

You've had to hit correct pitch since karaoke revolution 1. Rock band has this feature as well o_O

Robots :O :O :O i may have to check this out.
