It's like Rhythm Heaven, but with a lot of extra fat. Save for about ten minigames, there is not a single thing Megamix adds which improves the experience, and Megamix adds a lot. Challenge train, easier versions of already easy games, Perfect runs locking you out of the rest of the song upon failure, cutscenes, the thing where the bottom screen grades every individual input down to the frame (I know you can turn it off), and currency, only serve to detract from what was once minimal perfection. The remixes are okay, though, and more of them are pop songs this time around. Never quite reaches the high of Fever remix 8 and 9, but it's okay. Thanks for finally letting Americans play the Japanese audio, but I already imported this game from Japan when it came out a year before... I wouldn't mind if this is the last Rhythm Heaven game, because if a future title takes a single queue from Megamix, it will be mistaken.
