Tech-Gaming writes: "Even though the formerly white-hot rhythm game genre is cooling down in the U.S., some companies are still making earnest efforts to produce music-based titles that set themselves apart from the army of guitar clones that have backed-up the digital highway since Guitar Hero became a phenomenon. The latest of these releases is Beat City, courtesy of Universomo. Even though Beat City is the first non-mobile title developed by the company, the studio has taken its knowledge to the Nintendo DS platform without a hitch and perhaps it is due to this experience that Beat City is a vivid and fun music game that can enjoyed in bite-sized pieces while the player is on the go."
A decent addition to any rhythm game enthusiast’s collection, no matter what the age or experience level. However, older or more experienced gamers may find that the game lacks challenge and that the game’s aesthetic is a tad too cheery.
In Beat City, players prove that rhythm is life by tapping in sync with the beat in order to restore Beat City to the vibrant, melodious City it once was and rid the city of the evil Cacophony Corporation, which brings nothing but monotony to the city. Can you feel the beat? Use the power of the music to prove that rhythm is life and revitalize the city.
