Every time I play this game I'm less sure what to think of it, I love the rhythm games themselves but the way it is handled is abysmal. It's truly Sega's answer on Professor Layton except with a focus on rhythm games rather than puzzles. I love the story driven rhythm games, but I feel like the story of Rhythm Thief never goes beyond it's surface level and opportunities to do so have never materialized. The game ends in a cliffhanger, with no sequel to be seen because it's reportedly canceled.

It's a shame because the series had the potential to be the next Professor Layton if they kept it up, but SEGA threw it to the wind. If you love rhythm games it's definitely worth taking out but if you're in for a truly story driven game look someone else as you'll never be given an satisfying conclusion.
