Sometimes I like to do this thing where I listen to certain music and I imagine really cool fight scenes that heavily coincide with the music. That might sound strange, but don't knock it 'til you try it. It's EXHILARATING, I live for games that even halfway pique my imagination like that.
And Groove Coaster is one of those games; turns out two buttons and striking visuals is all you need to emulate that experience. The selection of songs is great; I felt right at home with all the Touhou arranges and Darius tracks/remixes (and even some surprises like Burning Halloween Town from Deathsmiles). The aforementioned in-game visuals are beautiful too, and I love the song specific references. My absolute favorite thing about the game has to be ad-libbing though. Finding ad-libs through sheer instinct on songs you've heard before has got to be one of the greatest feelings in the world.
