rhythm heaven on ds

the other day i saw a tv ad for this game and thought it looked kinda interesting. interesting enough to dust off my ds and give it a try. ever since the success of brain training nintendo have been milking the casual gamers dry with any sort of training games they can think of. brain training, maths training, sight training, even bloody face training. and you could argue that this game is the same but not they've cottoned on to all the training titles and in a huge mix up, taken the word 'training' out of the title!

anyway i've been hooked on this game most of this week. it's similar to those wario ware games and like 90% of all ds and wii titles it consists of a load of mini games. you basically have to tap, hold, flick, slide and lift the stylus in time to the music and visuals you see on screen. it might not look as cool as strumming a big plastic guitar (but what is, right?). the game sounds pretty simple and stupid but give it a try 'cause it's really addictive.
