From the few reviews I read, the biggest downfall of the game that I saw was the controls.

I'll look a bit more into Final Fantasy, just might have to give it a go.

Thanks

Well, you already have the three staples of the system I'd say. I just got Rhythm Thief today and I'll give it a go and let you know what I think, but there's a demo of it already on the eShop that convinced me to get the game. You might also look into Resident Evil: Revelations. I don't have it myself (yet) but I've heard great things about it and there's a demo available for it as well.

And you're right about the Kid Icarus controls, they seem awkward and convoluted at first, but once you get the hang of it, it feel quite natural. It just requires the stand to play properly, at least for me.

But even then I cannot seem to stop playing Mario Kart. And I've got games yet to unbox!!!

I know the feeling, I still have a couple sealed 3DS games as well... and 360, and PC, and even PS2.... rolleyes.gif

Hey Savag3, sorry it took me a couple days to get back to you.

I'm really enjoying Rhythm Thief. I haven't played it too much, but it has a unified story that you progress through, with quick different rhythm mini-games carrying you through it. And then there's also short puzzle sequences separating them too, so it always feels like there's a lot of variety.

TheatRhythm on the other hand just has three game play modes, and you basically play the same songs over and over, very similar to Rock Band or Dance Dance Revolution I suppose. But I'm not really finding it repetitive at all, especially when playing the songs I like best. And there's also "Dark Notes" that the game gives you, which is basically a challenge mode that changes up the notes you have to hit on familiar songs, so it feels fresh there.

So, they're both rhythm games, but quick different when you actually take a look at them. But I would still recommend both: TheatRhythm just because its Final Fantasy and I love FF music, and Rhythm Thief because it has a story, variety, and a lot of style.

Hope this helps. smile.gif

Not a problem. Thanks for the help!

If you would like to know the final decision: I got none of the above thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

The steam summer sale kicked in, and I started buying games there, so actually what I ended up doing for the long car ride was a combination of playing through some of the games I purchased on my laptop, and playing almost every demo from the 3ds market.

I have to say, I laughed at Rhythm Thief when I first started up the demo. I thought it looked crazy. I played it more than I did any other demo on from the eshop. There were only three "missions" and I found myself playing them over and over again. Really an awesome game, and once my bank account recovers from the steam sale, I will be picking it up.

Ah, yes, the infamous Steam sale. I purchased a good chunk of games there so far. rolleyes.gif

And if you like the Rhythm Thief demo, then you'll love the game. thumb.gif There are a total of 50 missions, and I'm up to around 20 I think with about 3 hours in. Just to let you know, I picked the game up for $30, so you should be able to find it at that price instead of the regular $40.

Just got my New Super Mario Bros. 2!!

IGN is right, the game isn't nearly as hard as the NES/SNES ones, but the levels being much longer and requiring you to collect dumploads of money makes up for the lowered difficulty smile.gif

The coin craze is something very notable, too.

I dislike the change in the default control layer, A and B jump, while X and Y sprint/attack. Nothing to ache about though.


Overall the series has gained lots of depth with this game, despite the lowered difficulty. The duration seems about right, took me around 1hr to finish the 1st world, so it should hover around the 8-10 hrs gameplay for someone who takes his/her time. More or less like the rest of the games in the saga.

Here's hope that the DLCs will be cheap and include truckloads of insanely difficult levels, though!

Glad you've enjoyed it Artikbot. Always nice to pickup an old game and play it again.. Even if it has been remade. rolleyes.gif

I got my hands on Tales of Vespyria a couple of weeks back, loving the game.. But that's just me and such genres.. Also slipping my 3DS into my bag, coat pocket, trouser pocket, anywhere when I go out.. Kinda want to get more streetpasses.. I only managed to get 2 last Saturday and that was in town for 30 minutes or so, and good 1000 people wandering around. x-x;;

Tbh not interested in the xl since it has the matte finish. I actually like the glossy look. Down side of the mate, I noticed while having my dsi is that your fingers overtime stains the area around the keypad and buttons.
