Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise |OT| Another Nintendo rhythm game no-one will play
- Thread starter Shiggy
- Start date
Is the scoring system as bad as it sounds?
But it's still maintaining its MSRP... I know it's Nintendo and all, but impressive (I guess) given that it's been out since February.
I've been seeing it for $19.99 at multiple retailers :<

Just got up to love rap, I can't say I feel much rhythm in this one minigame.
But I swear that sets 4, 5 & 6 (excluding the love rap) are much easier than sets 2 & 3, basically the difficulty curve seems backwards at times, or maybe my rhythm has improved.
Well whatever the case i've greatly enjoyed most of the games from these later sets.
And the perfect system is still silly, I perfected the baseball one but it doesn't count as a perfect because it's not time for the perfect chance, boo I say! A retry system would also be nice for those occasions were you know you've buggered up.

Oh yeah, the Japanese soundtrack, maybe love rap becomes more tolerable that way.
Anyone know if all regions have all text translations? I'm in Germany but don't actually speak the language, I need it in English
Don't worry, the game includes German, French, Italian, Spanish AND English texts. I believe it's based on your system settings. All languages are on the disc.

Well I guess it's kind of funny, it does have the added bonus of high and low pitched failure lyrics. Still the game itself isn't that great.
Nice to see a new OT up for the European release. Hopefully Tesco gets it to me tomorrow. Was surprised to see HMV online didn't even list it so I could take advantage of my usual 10% discount.
Due to the fact it isn't being stocked everywhere I thought this was the safer purchase and will get Theatrhythm at a later date. Two rhythm games on the same day would be too much and I have been so looking forward to this.

Subscribed to marvel at everyone getting frustrated by Monkey Watch again for reasons I will never understand.
(On the other hand, that dancing shrimp one took me for-fucking-EVER.)

Strange...I had no trouble with Monkey Watch. Definitely one of my favorites.

What? This is out today? Will visit the next store in the morning.
Dancing Shrimp one was interesting. It took me longer than any other game to beat the practice. But once I finished the practice, I got through the game in my first try, and proceeded to medal it soon after.
It's just really hard to figure out, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy.
Monkey Watch is always hard

Great games this and I would like to think it will do well in Europe however I doubt that will be the case.
I am really struggling with my imported US version though - the level with the dogs in the chairs that spin round? I can never get it right!
Its almost like the sync is a little out - although all the other levels so far have been OK.
Any suggestions to get past this?

Fuck, was at Media Markt just some moments ago and I didnt see it there
How is the difficulty compared to the DS game? I hit a wall really early on in that, but this looks more accessible (at least in the videos). Does it have any settings to adjust audio lag for HDTVs or receivers?
And is the multiplayer any good? Always on the lookout for games to play with my kids

It's a great multiplayer game inasmuch as it's well-suited to having one person play while everyone else watches, gives directions, etc but it's not really made for simultaneous play with other people.
It wasn't even popular on GAF? I bought it... :|
So, when you guys complete the game, you'll have to say "I beat Beat the Beat," right?
I'm stuck on Monkey Watch, too. I really need to play this game on a CRT, input lag screws me up so bad.

I can't say I enjoyed the tap dancing and shrimp games I just did, something about them just wasn't that fun for me, fortunately Cheer Readers looks to redeem this set of minigames.
So I just tried the police phone minigame or whatever it's called, I have no clue what the hell this is all about!
Having got this far I travelled back to Monkey Watch and i'm still awful at it, the pass rankings in this game are all over the place, I stumbled my way through the rocket launch and tap dancing ones on the first attempt despite playing like ass, meanwhile some games like the office pigs and Shrimp games seem to have a very small allowance for blunders.

Grumble, Grumble at Remix 7, I feel like i've done well enough numerous times for at least a bare pass. Those bloody tapdancers, I swear my guys legs do the same as my cpu buddies yet they keep glowering at me in disgust and presumably putting in the vote to deny me passage to what lies beyond.

I didn't spot anything off with my one, just a very brief black screen between transitions like the rest of the remixes. It's a long remix that one, too much figure fighter as well.
Unfortunately by making me check this I just had to try remix 7 again, nailed pretty much everything except tap troupe, ARRRGH! it's unusually trickier than the standard version, faster tempo I'm thinking.

Heard good things about this series, and my Wii is crying out for a new game, so bought.

Kinda want to import this for the dual audio.

So wait have you just been blitzing it over this one day then? I have yet to return to Figure Fighter 2.
Well it's a pretty addictive game. Been feeling a bit under the weather so this was a nice game to relax with since I was basically only pressing one button most of the time.
I have just gone through most of the game with OKs, though the game does seem to give you Superb on the most random of occasions.

The rules for me tends to be superb when you think it was OK, try again when you think you've done OK.
So there are secret words to use with the police walkie talkie toy.
Apparently one is found in this trailer:
And I found two myself
Mr Upbeat:
Munchy Monk:
Is there a list for where the words are hidden without giving away what the words are?

The co-op games are pretty weak since they're just single-player games tweaked such that certain prompts only go to one player or the other instead of having the one player do everything. The endless co-op games were designed ground up to be done with two players and are much better examples. Mochi Pounding in particular is brilliant because of how subtle the "good rhythm" theme manifests itself in it.
