The best, most polished collection Rhythm Heaven has to offer yet. The consistency in quality is really high here; sure there's a couple games that aren't quite as standout as others, but overall, they're all a good time. Even the not-as-notable ones have a lot of charm put into them that shines through. And of course, the hits here are some very high highs, I would list my favorites but there'd be too many, so I'll just say Karate Man as usual and every other vocal song too. It feels like they got a little more time and budget for this entry as their first home console game, and it shows. There seems to be more care put into things like the difficulty curve as you go, transitions between games in remixes, bringing back some GBA games as bonuses, 2 player, etc. Having a simple, consistent, normal control scheme is also a relief. If you just want to check out what Rhythm Heaven's about, play this game. If you enjoyed the DS game, play this game. If you have a pulse, give this game a chance to win you over.
