Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is not a bad game, but when compared to the original, this remake for the Nintendo DS pales in comparison. Gone is the completely unique battle engine that made the game stand out, and the choice of using the monotone emotionless Japanese vocals instead of the almost universally preferred (even by the Japanese) English dub is bound to alienate the audience NIS America claimed it was gearing this game for – the casual mainstream gamer who doesn't want to invest 100+ hours into a Disgaea title.
As such, the game is far disjointed to pull in the cult audience that the original had. Save your money and buy the PSX version off Ebay. It's superior and worth the extra cash.

Pretty much. They just toss that plot twist in so stupidly.
"As we say in the 'cast, these aren't necessarily the worst songs in gaming, but they stand out to us as ones we dread. In most cases, they're simply the worst songs out of otherwise great soundtracks." -GR
Wait, how is Rhapsody a "Good Soundtrack?"
Anyway, the museum music in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is like the only song I don't enjoy.
So many albums have THAT song that just highlights how good the rest of the soundtrack is.
I dont want to even know why the $%#/ someone would thin any song in FF9 stains the soundtrack...
Just because a game is geared towards women doesn't mean men will catch cooties from trying it out. This list suggests men give Style Savvy: Trendsetter, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Atelier Meruru, Princess Debut and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure a chance.
I've enjoyed all the games listed here except for Hakuoki. Princess Debut is my favorite, and one every big burly man should play at least once.
Fantastic list.
If this is your way of justifying kiddie games, then do what you gotta do.
From the Artelier paragraph, 'the heroines are almost always female.' No crap sherlock!
Anyways, its true, one of the reasons I've never tried the Artelier games on PS3 is that it seems girly. Might give it a go as soon as the PSV port is released.
