Rhythm Heaven

Rhythm Heaven, known as Rhythm Tengoku Gold in Japan and Rhythm Paradise in Europe, is a video game for the Nintendo DS. It was developed by Nintendo SPD 1, and music was helped composed by TSUNKU. It is the 2nd installment in its series and the first to be released outside of Japan.

Gameplay
The game is meant to be played by holding the Nintendo DS sideways. Left handers have an option to change the position of the visual gameplay in much benefit for them. The DS version also takes advantage of the Nintendo DS's touch screen more than anything.

Controls
The controls for Rhythm Heaven, just like every other game in the series, are very basic. There are four main mechanics used, both for all of the mini games available to play and just getting around the game itself. These controls are tapping, holding, sliding and flicking. In addition the L/R buttons are to be used in one specific rhythm game alone. The D-pad is also usable for accessing areas and finally the start button to pause during a mini game.

About Rhythm
For the musically impaired, rhythm is a variation of any length and any accentuation of sounds, pitches, and other things. If you are a musician, many things in this game will come naturally to you, and you just may complete this game in a day or so once you get the controls down. If you aren't, that's fine, you can still enjoy this game just the same. Listening to the background music's meter, tempo, and sometimes melody are key to getting through the game. Try not to rely on the game's visuals too much, as they can confuse the player into doing the wrong thing. Also, this game forgives you a bit more if you're late in your rhythm than if you're early. Try to use this to your advantage.
