Rhythm action games combine the enjoyment that comes from creating music with the challenge of video game scoring. The player is usually tasked with dancing on a mat, tapping a touch screen, pressing a button, singing into a mic or strumming a fake guitar controller in time with the music.
On occasion this tap along with the music style of interaction is used in other games (such as a means of combat in adventure games). But is it only games that solely focus on the players ability to play along to music (without other aims or goals) that are usually considered true Rhythm Action games.

Sound Shapes combine music creation and platform gaming. With an accessible editor and level sharing over the internet, this will either be an internet sensation, or a curious oddity in the future history of gaming... read now

My dad loved Sesame Street Once Upon a Monster, but I think most five years olds would prefer playing Costume Quest with their parents. The Kinect controls are too fiddly when you are little, and there are not so many things to do... read now
Just Dance 3 turned my serious dancing exercise into something fun and social. Getting eight friends and family dancing on the Wii at the same time (rather than just taking turns) was more important to me than Kinect's full body detection... read now
Just Dance 3 Kinect adds full body dancing and bespoke choreography to what is already my favourite dance game. Sensibly shaped dancers and a great track list make this a great party game for all ages... read now
Final Fantasy: Theatrhythm promises a musical diversion away from the vast worlds of the long-running RPG series. It's easy to see why Final Fantasy's music deserves a spotlight... read now

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster wraps up six episodes of storytelling with enough emotion to melt even the hardest of gamer's hearts... read now

Get Up and Dance is set to give enthusiastic PS3 and Wii party-goers a whole new range of dancing diversions. By including group play, is this the start of re-enacting Glee in the living room?.. read now
Fruit Ninja Kinect sounded like a bit of a gimmick. Once I had been persuaded to stand up and play, I got into the silliness and found it to be quite a lot of fun... read now
By embracing the touch-screen technology and having levels that can be completed in three minutes, Elite Beat Agents is the game the Nintendo DS was made for. .. read now
Rock Band 3 has been an addictive Odyssey in our house -- with friends and family alike. Every concert provides new opportunities to acquire fans, do vocal gymnastics, and generally strive for that elusive Pinnacle at the end of the Road: the Three-Part Harmony... read now

Michael Jackson: The Experience brings Just Dance to the PlayStation 3. Rather than simply replicating the Wii game's success, singing, choreography options, videos and pictures make this the definitive version -- providing the King of Pop is to your taste... read now
ExerBeat is Namco Bandai's fitness game aiming to deliver exercises for all ages. Just Dance influences on the exercise game may be no bad thing, as is the use of Mii's. The main novelty here is an increased focus on rhythm and timing in each of the 150 exercises... read now

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that.

So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy. |
Our columnists each focus on a particular perspective and fall into one of the following types of gamers:
