![]() Sometimes players are trading off beats, and sometimes they are hitting beats simultaneously. Multiplayer reworks the games you already know into cooperative versions. The fact that it isn’t immediately available creates an unnecessary barrier to players bringing in their friends, but it’s entertaining once it is available. Rhythm Heaven Fever has a multiplayer mode you can unlock, just like WarioWare: Smooth Moves. After beating the seven tiers of games, you can unlock more activities that rework the games you have already played, giving you reason to return. ![]() The challenge-to-fun ratio is occasionally off, specifically the game involving fish and another with shrimp (sea creatures don’t have good rhythm apparently), but for the most part all the games are full of surprises and smiles. It’s much easier than the tap-and-flick gameplay seen in Rhythm Heaven for the DS. You can play the game with one hand, and the lack of motion controls means you can tap the Wii remote along with the rhythm without any worries of it affecting your game. There is no need for wild gesticulations or a nunchuck. Every game is built around pressing the A button, and occasionally both the A and B buttons at the same time. There is absolutely no use of the motion control with the exception of navigating the menus with a pointer, but even that is entirely optional. Whether you hit the beats or not, the game moves on until the end where you are awarded a fail, a pass, or a medal for being perfect or nearly perfect. Each game lasts about a minute and a half, and there is no failing out. You get a couple of tries to get the hang of the rhythms, and then you’re off. You play badminton while flying a plane, dance on a beach as a shrimp, spin around in an office chair as a pig, and go on a double date with a gopher – and all of it is set to an infectious beat.Įvery game starts with a short training sequence to familiarize you with the basics of the musical premise. ![]() These require a lot more skill and are far more engaging. I use the whole word “miniature” and not the abbreviation “mini” because these games deserve more than to be lumped together with standard minigame collections. Along with a similar art direction, both games are made up of a string of miniature games. Rhythm Heaven Fever comes from the same group of developers as the WarioWare series, and the two franchises have a lot in common. With that disclaimer out of the way, I can say that the Rhythm Heaven series (Fever included) offers interesting, creative, and challenging gameplay – and you won’t find anything else like it. ![]() It’s a bizarre game that wears its Japanese origins on its sleeve, and you will get frustrated if you’re not at least somewhat musically inclined. ![]()
