Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure was the best rhythm game I've played on the 3ds and also the best 3ds game for me.
I found out about this game some time ago in a video that showed a stage 2 and I thought it was interesting and the last game I had played on rhytm was horrible (American idol on GBA) so I gave it a go.
The story of Raphael, Marie and his dog Fondue is one of the most creative stories I've ever seen in a handheld game, I love the main villain, I love their motives and the final plot of the game is incredible. The 2d character art is beautiful and unique and the 3d models are even better.
At the beginning of the stages you'll get off to a very bad start and as you go along you'll perfect the timing until you reach a point where you'll have the game's music stuck in your head, I still know the music for the first stage and the second stage on my mind.
The gameplay is very good, I loved the rhythm stages of the statues, the dance stages and also Maria's violin stages, especially Notre Dame, the stages where you have to move the 3ds are weak, especially Stage 31, which was the most challenging, however this game influences you to finish, it's what contaminates you when you play.
I'm sad that the game doesn't have a sequel, and European aversion is very expensive these days, but on the other hand I'm happy that this master piece of rhythm games hasn't been destroyed by poor sequels. Maybe one day they'll release a remake or remaster, perhaps for the current generation, which I might play.
All in all, the game is worth playing and is a better 3ds experience.
