I know what you are probably thinking. "Huh? 5/5? S-Tier? This cheap-looking PS2 game?" People say that rez is the ultimate "synesthesia game", but this does it way harder and better to me. Easily one of the most unique and addictive rhythm games ive played. Hard to explain, but ill try; you go down this path with columns on it, and play a rhythm game on each column. the columns correspond to each instrument in the song, and if you play a column perfectly the game will auto play that instrument for a few measures, and during that time you can go to the other instruments and eventually get the whole song in its entirety to play. Not only does it mean that you always have an exact understanding of how well you are doing by hearing how much of the song is being played, but it also means that as a rhythm game you get to do all sorts of different rhythmic patterns from each of the instruments in each song, making the game constantly stimulating in that aspect. It also gives this feeling of running a one-man band as you juggle between each instrument to keep the whole song playing. It leads to this fantastic rhythmic experience I haven't experienced before or since, and is definitely a highlight of the genre. Absolutely a must-play.
