Muse Dash took me a little bit to get my head around. In essence the controls only have two options during gameplay, up and down, that you hit throughout the songs, which makes it a more visually impressive version of Taiko no Tatsujin. The stages feature your character dashing across a course as obstacles approach, which you attack with either a high or a low strike. Miss your timing and you take damage instead. The game has a lot of pastel or bright blue and pink, and although Muse Dash didnt trip my eyes as bad as SWH, it did take me a little to adapt.

The one consistent theme about Muse Dash is that youre constantly unlocking things. New renditions of your character, new items to choose from for your passive bonus, and of course, new songs. Each track has several difficulties and challenges to complete on each. I found it irritating that many songs forced you to play on medium before you could try them on hard, and the challenges are all difficulty-specific, which means technically I should have also been playing through everything on easy, too. But beyond that, the game is cute, the animations are fluid, the controls are responsive, and theres not a lot to complain about.

Should you play it?: Do you like simpler, straightforward rhythm games?
