Rhythm games were created specifically to eventually birth Rhythm Heaven. This series is the masterpiece of its genre.
There really isn't any other series that truly is about the music in the same way RH is, not relying on any sort of charting or arbitrary memorization but rather the simplest possible controls - in this case, tapping and swiping - to react to the beat of catchy songs and sound queues. You can (and sometimes probably should) play RH with your eyes closed which is a true testament to its intuitive design and dedication to its concept. Listening to the soundtrack outside of context is impossible without subconsciously filling in the sound effects.
Everything about this game is wonderful. Fun fact, I found RH in a Toys R Us bargain bin for $5, and to this day it remains the most valuable $5 I've ever spent.
