Welcome!This thread is about the game series known as
Rhythm Heaven in America and
Rhythm Paradise in Europe.
What is this series about?Basically, every game in the series is pushing buttons to the music in different minigames. There are 3 ranks you can get in the minigames, depending on how well you did. They are Superb (meaning you did pretty well), OK (its name says it all), and Try Again (meaning you
sucked and should kill yourself didn't do well enough to pass). The Superb rank will get you a medal for that specific minigame you got the rank in, and will unlock the next level for you. The OK rank simply unlocks the next minigame. When you've cleared a certain set of minigames, you'll unlock a remix stage which is simply a mix of the things you've done in that set. If you clear that remix stage, you'll unlock the next set of games.
TL;DRYou press buttons to music and hope that you don't suck.
Sounds interesting. Is there anything else to it?Yes, actually. Once in a while, you'll come across the chance to get a Perfect Rank on a stage you've already completed. To get it, you have to clear the stage without missing ANYTHING. If you screw up, you have another 2 chances to get that perfect rank (at least in
Rhythm Heaven Fever. I haven't played any of the other games, so I don't know how many chances you get in the other 2 games).
You said there was 2 other games plus this Rhythm Heaven Fever, whatever it is.I'm glad you can read, my friend! And yes, there are two other games! One of which is
Rhythm Tengoku, for the Game Boy Advance. This is the first game in the series. However, it never got released outside of Japan. The first game that did, though, was
Rhythm Tengoku Gold, or rather, Rhythm Heaven in America or Rhythm Paradise in Europe. This was released on the Nintendo DS. Up next is
Minna no Rhythm Tengoku, or rather Rhythm Heaven Fever in America and Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise in Europe. This is the most recent game in the series, and it was released on the Nintendo Wii.
Where can I buy these games?Try eBay if you're looking for Rhythm Tengoku. As for the other two, they can be found in most video game stores, and eBay if you're too lazy to go to the stores.
