It’s not hard to see the allure of the rhythm action genre for game developers, providing as it does a framework within which to work while at the same time enabling some hugely idiosyncratic and downright eccentric experiences. When executed well, the tension between interactivity and aural feedback can be wonderfully liberating, but problems can arise when these two worlds fail to meet; as unsatisfying mechanics flounder to connect with aural elements. The latest title to attempt to seamlessly meld these two elements into a cohesive – and toe tapping – whole is Fun Unit’s Groove Heaven for the Nintendo 3DS, but does it find perfect harmony or ear-drum perforating dissonance?
"Failed by it's aim, Groove Heaven provides a truly brilliant design, but nothing much else, disappointingly bringing nothing new to the table." - Nintendo Feed
Nice to see a review up that is about a bad game for a change. Most people don't post reviews on bad games.
Thanks.
No problem buddy! We try to provide reviews of a diverse range of games, whether they're good or bad.
GP writer Leah Santa Cruz reviews Groove Heaven on the 3DS.
There is some violence since you can die, but it’s all cartoonish and not gory. If you don’t mind the demon/goddess love story this game is kid friendly. Currently Groove Heaven is only available on Nintendo’s eShop.
