Feels like a classic almost instantly.

While the story and characters are a bit goofy, they never cease to be fun and a breath of fresh air.

The rhythm mechanics are simple and remain that way for the most part. It gives you plenty of time to try out different combos and special attacks throughout the levels.

The soundtrack is great. For a game that has to have the same song on repeat for long sections, it manages to blend it in and not sound repetitive, which is astounding.

It has quite a bit of platforming, which is not its strong suit.
The absolute best part of this game are its action-pack sequences and boss battles, specially near the end of the game.

A joy to play through.

Also, the Invaders must die sequence had me banging my head through the whole way.
