Rhythm Heaven games are always a delight to play. The combination of WarioWare style "microgames" with rhythm-based gameplay is such a unique concept that hasn't been replicated much elsewhere! Per its title, the majority of Megamix's rhythm game offerings come from past games in the series with only a few new additions. Since I had only played the DS game before, I had a great time with this one as most of the games were new to me!
All of the rhythm games this time are tied together by a story mode that feels like it doesn't really need to be there. There is also a fair amount of side content and items to collect with in-game currency. Unfortunately, this side of the game suffers as the currency system is completely unbalanced. At the end of the game, even after going for all Perfects, I still did not have nearly enough money to collect all of the in-game side items. The only way to obtain them all would be to just repeat the rhythm games ad-nauseum which is not fun in the slightest.
But my quibbles don't distract from the fact that this a great rhythm heaven game! You know what you are signing up for. The rhythm games are still the star of the show and don't disappoint.
