Daigasso! Band Brothers / Nintendo DS : 5 of 5

My DS Lite has really been getting a workout lately, and most of it has been from this incredible Japanese import game! As you know, I'm a huge fan of any music-based game, so I ordered Daigasso! Band Brothers from YesAsia based on solely on great reviews, and they were correct - this is one of the best music games ever. An easy way to describe the game is like DDR for your fingers - as songs play, lines move across the screen that tell you which buttons to press (this DS game rarely uses the touch screen), and as you press these you are actually playing an instrument in the song. For every song in the game, there are tons of parts - everything from keyboard to guitar, and even bass and drums! If you make a mistake, you definitely hear it, since you are really playing the part, which is so cool. It can definitely get challenging, not only rhythmically, but because you are dealing with 10 buttons at a time (four arrows, A/B/X/Y, plus the L and R buttons)! The song list is pretty incredible - it includes some great Jpop like Morning Musume's Renai Revolution 21 and some really clever medleys of classical music, Christmas songs, and some great Nintendo hits! It even has the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon theme! There are challenges you can take to unlock more difficult game levels, and a "bat girl" character to keep the game cute, but the real fun is just enjoying playing the music. I just ordered the expansion pack which has even more songs, so I'm going to be playing this game for a long, long time!
