Beats on PSN/PSP

Nice little game that lets you use any MP3 and turns it into a nice music game. Very cool and very cheap, like 5 bucks or less cheap.

It's pretty cool. The main problem is that some songs don't synchronize very well, but the ones that do are so much fun.

 

[Unknown One]

Patapon fits the descriptions.

 

[mclem]

Useless fact of the day: Rhythm is the longest word in the english language without a vowel. The more you know.

Not quite, but on a technicality: "Rhythms"

 

[Mael]

Patapon fits the descriptions.

There's even a demo for each, be warned it's not for everyone though

'Y' is not a vowel?

 

[trinest]

Theres heaps on the Nintendo DS (and some awesome music games too like Music Monsters)

Band Mashup for the Wii uses the controller.

No love for Rock Band Unplugged (PSP)? Sadface.

Wii Music is great, but it's not really a rhythm game (though you could counter-argue that it's just as strict if not more so with the timing required to make a decent-sounding song).

Ouendan and its sequel and Elite Beat Agents, of course.

Rhythm Tengoku >>> Rhythm Heaven, too.

And 'strengths' is the longest word in the English language with just one syllable.

 

[ULTROS!]

Does Space Channel 5 for the DC count? It was released 2000.

This topic reminded me that Inis is still doing Lips, and that annoys me.

Argh. Thanks a lot.

Play this now. Its like the "Flower" version of a music game. Not rhythm so much, but it deserves a mention.

Thank you for this. It is wonderful. Though I am not entirely sure on your 'Flower' reference.

 

[V_Arnold]

Boom Boom Rocket.
Boom Boom Rocket.

And more importantly,
Boom Boom Rocket.

Play it!

 

[Luigiv]

The Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 lets you play the game with just the remote, not sure why you would want to do that or if the other versions have similar features though.

Yeah GH 1-3 lets you use your regular controllers (for all systems). It actually works pretty well with a DS2.

 

[Bildi]

Boom Boom Rocket.
Boom Boom Rocket.

And more importantly,
Boom Boom Rocket.

Play it!

Agreed. Awesome game.

DJ Max Portable for the PSP. I love the DJ Max Portable games. Check them out. They're worth your time. Also, Rock Band Unplugged is peripheral-less as well, along with Rock Band iPhone & Lego Rock Band DS. Can't stress enough Elite Beat Agents & the Ouendan games. Both are excellent.

As for the PC side of things, Audiosurf where you get to jam out to your songs. Oh yeah, I also just remembered Phase for the iPod. You get to use your own music for that game too.

If so, I raise Unison

I agree that Wii Music is not a rythm game, but rather a creative game.


What was the name of the rythm game on DS with platforming ideas that were released a couple of weeks ago?

Maestro! Jump in Music.

I think it only came out in mainland Europe though, I've not seen any copies in the UK. The print run was very, very limited, I think.

 

[WillyFive]

Elite Beat Agents, Audiotorum, Wii Music, etc.

 

[KittyKittyBangBang]

Not enough Bit Trip mentions in this thread, its REALLY good, both Beat and Core are excellent

 

[KittyKittyBangBang]

:lol I guess the OP didnt specifiy they had to be good

 

[A Twisty Fluken]

Wii Music is good if you've got the chops for it.

Anyway, unfortunately, Taiko No Tatsujin on Wii doesn't have an "air drumming" mode, so the DS version is the one to opt for to remain peripheral free.

Obviously, because we're just going off the reservation anyway, just get Rhythm Heaven, it's too awesome. (EBA/Ouendan are great too, but RH is in another galaxy)

 

[Alphahawk]

Does Space Channel 5 for the DC count? It was released 2000.

Considering that was at least one generation ago, arguably two, that's almost certainly a no...

Also 0 Beat Drop for XBLA fits that bill

*begrudginly* oh, alright, those are also correct answers.

Yup. Wasn't even really available in the UK. There is apparently some restock activity going on with online retailers, though.

Mine's on backorder to be then exported to me by a friend.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Rhythm Tengoku >>> Rhythm Heaven, too.

Seriously. Rhythm Heaven is such a let down.

 

[sinxtanx]

Seriously. Rhythm Heaven is such a let down.

It is still a very fun game.
Oh, and Osu! is available for the iPhone as homebrew, for all you purists

"Strengths" is the longest English word with only one vowel.

On topic, there's that PSP port of Gitaroo Man, but that's a gen-bender I suppose.

EDIT: Would Space Invaders Extreme/Infinity Gene count? Not strictly rhythm-based but they sure do a lot of crazy stuff with sound and music integration.

 

[Alphahawk]

What about "Phase" that ipod game Harmonix put out. That was this gen right?

Also Groov on the comunity games section. Oh and Electroplankton, and Jam Sesion and that Hannah Montanna game all on the DS...

 

[abombb]

(I know it's probably not what you meant, but PC is always this gen)

That's a great answer

 

[Wehrwolf]

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva. Also getting ported to the arcade so as not to be just on a handheld

 

[Castor Krieg]

DJ Max Portable for PSP, wonderful set of games.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Why are so many people bringing up handheld titles when the OP specifically isn't looking for those?

 

[Colocho]

I know, right?

 

[Einbroch]

We need a Gitaroo Man 2.
