Anyways, the demo is absolutely amazing

 

Couldn't agree more, it's superb! besides the lack of 'Perfect!' bonuses (who knows perhaps this will be in the retail version ::shrug:) I'm loving it.

 

Pre-ordered

 

I've been pre-ordering a lot of 3DS games as of late, but if they're this awesome, I can't complain.

 

I don't remember if this has been mentioned, but is there going to be any DLC for this game?

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone want to post their scores so far?

 

R01: 78,600pts

R02: 51,100pts

R03: 118,800pts

April can't come soon enough :D

 

I pre-ordered this game back when I thought it was coming out in January lol, it's been a long long wait but it'll be worth it!

 

I really want his game on release day, but with it being a Sega game, it will no doubt be at a discount price within a few weeks after release.

 

It's weird how Sega games always do that lol, I mean even Sonic Generations was really cheap after a couple of weeks.

Same. Demo confirmed I will get it at some point though, was a bit on the fence about it before.

I really hope so.

Didn't take note of mine, but had the MAX possible score for R02 & R03. :awesome:

Didn't bother perfecting R01 as I wasn't keen on the music in that one.

 

By the way, @\-Dem0\- (and anyone else that is liking this game), if you haven't played Rhythm Paradise, be sure to check it out!!

Not only is it better than Rhythm Thief*, it can be picked up very cheaply these days.

 

*I realise the audacity of this statement seeing as I haven't even played the full game of Rhythm Thief, but trust me... The Rhythm Tengoku series is untouchable. ;)

 

: peace:

Just had another go on this, ended up perfecting R01 this time too: :hehe:

Noticed that the 3rd stage is actually R04, not R03. :wtf:

And on the touch screen it looks as if there's space for another stage... :blank:

 

It's also strange how there's no "thanks for playing the demo" message or anything. ::shrug:

Finally got round to playing the demo, no surprise, it's awesome :D

 

And indeed how could it not be? It's basic math!

 

Rhythm Heaven + Layton + Elite Beat Agents + Lupin The 3rd = AMAZING! :)

 

Visuals are fantastic, music is great, voice acting is great, gameplay is Spot On and the scenarios are hilarious. It's a clear must have for me. Cant wait :bouncy:

 

The only real complaint I have is that it feels as if it could do with a practice warmup before each stage (ALA Rhythm Heaven) but that's not a big deal.

 

Also, am I the only one who actually finds it harder when the guides are turned on?

The demo for Rhythm Thief is simple yet stunning, I defy anyone to download it and not feel compelled to pre-order the retail game if they hadn't done so already of course. :)

 

It feels like a fresh fusion of Elite Beat Agents (Main Characters) Space Channel 5 (Directional Actions) Rhythm Paradise (Visual Cues) and Feel the Magic (General Zaniness) all wrapped up in one terrific title! :D

 

Day one purchase for certain, not that it was ever in doubt. :heh:

They praise the rhythm-action segments but found the Layton-esque exploration and logic puzzles weak.

 

Also, noticed that this is No.1 in ShopTo's 3DS pre-order chart. Must of gained a few fans after the demo last week :bowdown:

Got a nice little package in the mail today - the official soundtrack of the game, imported from Japan.

 

3 CDs, 97 tracks (every song and jingle plus bonus songs!), and a leaflet with screenshots, credits for each individual song and LYRICS(!!!)

 

I wasn't really expecting to get it before the game (the site I ordered it from said the delivery may take many weeks, yet I got it within days!), but I'll probably be able to resist the temptation for these twelve days that remain... Hopefully!

Official Nintendo Magazine review :-

 

Everything is dripping with class - the music, the cutscenes: all phenomenal. As long as you're the type who doesn't mind replaying games when you finish them, this is well worth your money. A brilliant adventure whose shortness is its only drawback. Well worth a look. 88%

 

 

 

 

BTW my copy has been dispatched :awesome:

 

ShopTo.Net? Got my dispatch e-mail at 6:14pm. Defintley gonna be here by Good Friday then :grin:

IGN Review.

 

"Rhythm Thief is well worth persevering with. It’s a game with a song in its heart and romance in its soul, a sweet-natured slice of old-fashioned escapism underpinned by taut and satisfying rhythm-action systems. If a hopeful tilt at a sequel in its closing moments seems rather naively optimistic, you can hardly blame SEGA for dreaming. After all, it would be a crime bigger than any of Phantom R’s thefts if his story were to be forgotten. "

 

8.0/10

Nintendolife:

 

"Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure is a title overflowing with charm and verve, with a style that can entertain children and adults alike. It has a couple of missteps, the biggest of which is the occasional use of gyroscope controls, while simple puzzles and missing object searches don’t quite match the title’s overall quality. It’s the audio-visual presentation and stylus/button-based rhythm challenges that steal the show, representing some of the finest beats in the genre. It may not be perfect, but musical gamers with some groove to share should certainly consider a trip to Paris with Phantom R."

 

8/10

 

I agree, I just finished Chapter 1. The three 'Rhythms' that were part of the demo all came from Chapter 1. The only one that was missing was R03.

I'm really liking this game :)
