Think about this for a second: The popularity of dance games rivals that of shooters. Dance Central and Just Dance aren't pulling in Call of Duty records by any stretch, but the growing genre is on a massive, millions-selling upswing. I mistook Rhythm Party for a crummy casual cash-in trying to take advantage of the explosive success. The Kinect Arcade dance game is more than that. Rhythm Party goes out of its way to do something different with its genre, which is more than many shooters can say for themselves.
A simplified, yet still compelling dance game with top-notch production values and absolutely gorgeous visuals that actually works quite well with Kinect's abilities.

DHGF: In the U.S., Konami has certainly seen its ups and downs in the rhythm game genre, with more recent times yielding far more results in the latter. Even though most of its DanceDanceRevolution titles remain solid (although the recent games’ music selections have some saying otherwise), releases such as Rock Revolution and Beat’n Groovy have been painting the company has nothing more than a music genre has-been.
