Police Call
|
This "toy" is actually an investigation tool. |
Police Call is a Rhythm Toy in Rhythm Heaven Fever unlocked after obtaining 7 medals.
Description
Police Call is a very odd rhythm toy compared to others in the series. There isn't much rhythm involved. You control a hand that presses buttons with its index finger. The phone has 11 buttons, including normal letters, a send button, a backspace button, and an orange arrow button. The background is a solid gray color with a spotlight and the phone screen is green with a battery indicator and what appears to be a service icon with music notes. Note makes a cameo appearance on the phone between the send and "next" buttons.
As mentioned in the description of the toy, it's actually less of a toy and more of an investigation tool. Entering for the first time isn't different from entering any other time. You get told random dialogue from a brown-haired man in a suit, and then you are taken to the phone.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Police Call revolves around entering codewords obtained from playing other games to hear secret messages. It's the only game that requires pointing of the Wii remote to use.
