Haha, this game is fascinating with different peoples' reactions. I easily perfected Donk-Donk after two or three tries. Still can't medal Air Rally yet.

Yeah.. I medalled Donk-Donk with one error on try #1. Air Rally took me about eight tries for a medal. But Love Rap is giving me fits.

It's one of those games where you can get screwed easily once you've lost the tempo. Otherwise, no trap in here. One binary (donk-donk/pause/donk-donk/pause) and one linear (donk-donk-donk-donk-donk-donk...)

No comparison with others that make no sense on a rythmic basis.

I'd say every game makes sense rhythmically; there are certainly no "arhythmic" games in here. The issue is that some are more easily learnable than others, and it differs from person to person which rhythms/grooves are more easily learnable.

Not saying there's any real reason for it, but it's the only game up to Remix 7 (which is as far as I am so far) that I don't have a medal on. I can't do triplets for that long without losing the rhythm.

I'd hardly call love rap "rythmic". The beat doesn't give any clue. It's really more a reflex game.

You've just got to figure out the rhythm, it very much fits into the rhythm of the song. I've had problems with plenty of the games, but not with love rap. Again, different games will be hard for different people.

It's all rhythmic--everything in the game can be written down in musical notation. Some are just trickier than others.

"Into you" is exactly one beat after she starts. "Crazy into you" is exactly a beat and a half after she starts. "Fo' sho" is three-quarters of a beat, I think (that's the tricky one).

Donk-Donk is also hilarious because there's absolutely no explanation for what these things are.
"Hey, let's get ready to do that thing we do!"
In the cast roll, they're labeled as "Uh... these guys?"

Have you guys having trouble with Monkey Watch watched the demo during practice? I could see the syncopation being a little difficult to pick up on your own but it seems like a really simple pattern once you've heard it yourself. I'm surprised it's giving so many people the fits.

It does require a steady rhythm for a long time though, more than the other games. One thing great about the Rhythm Heaven games is it shows how easy it is to rush the beat without even realizing it (my problem, anyway). If you've never played an instrument you might not realize that it's pretty fucking difficult to keep a perfectly steady beat. Makes you appreciate drummers and bassists more, haha.

I made it through Monkey Watch, but I'm beginning to feel like my main issue with this game is the Wii Remote's A button, surprisingly enough. I wish I could better articulate what my issue is: it's either the "depth" or the button or just a symptom of me rarely using the control (meaning I'll eventually adjust). My thumb hurts. :/

LOL. After watching the demo, I was okay with donk-donk. I just can't get over the... inexplicability of it. I love that the intro screen says, "This one's hard to explain." Indeed, yo.

IAWTC. Well, almost. The rap "boing" made me laugh harder and longer, but the high-pitched voice is also rather amusing.

I am terrible at those... I wouldn't say they are bad, just annoying for those of us with bad short-term memory. I'm better at staying on beat or rolling with music, not so much at copying rhythm patterns. What was that handheld game thing where you had to hit the colored buttons in the same pattern it gave you, and it would get longer and longer... I was terrible at that crap. The thing that looks like the Chrome icon...

Ah, Simon. That's it. lol

Strange. I thought Donk Donk was one of the easier games... Got a superb on my first try. What's giving you trouble? The timing switch? I think the other issue with Donk Donk might be that you can look like you didn't get the timing right because you smash into the stuff in front of you but it still works..?

I must have tried love rap nearly 20 times to get a medal on it. Such an annoying game!

Also has anyone found some of the 2 version of songs easier then the 1 versions to medal or play? I still don't have a medal on Double Date 1 (I was late on 1 ball and it gave me just okay) yet Double Date 2 I missed 4 balls and was late on like 3 and still got a medal. Also I thought Working Dough 2 was a joke, not that WD1 was difficult either but it was harder then the sequel.

Holy shit, I didn't see the "Extra games" unlockable coming! Is it just the four that I can see right now? Because Monkey Tap (assuming that it's the last one) is the only one of the four that were among my favorite games in Rhythm Tengoku. Why not give us Air Batter, or Space Dance, or Close Shave, or one of the countless other games that were better than the first three they picked?
