Personal top rhythm games?

[NeonKnights]

Project Diva Arcade
I love seeing the reactions to my ultima manos technique.

 

[Tonberry]

Final Fantasy Theatrhythm!
Especially the arcade version because it had local multiplayer, but I’ve only ever seen one once in my life.

My favorite rhythm game has to be rhythm haven for sure!

I'm more familiar with the Wii version, but I imagine that one is also good fun!

beatmania IIDX, there is nothing that can top it really. Dance Dance Revolution or In The Groove go hard too, and other hardcore rhythm games.
I personally dislike Osu with passion. Ouendan 1 and 2 with EBA are OK games by generally a shovelware company so it has some glaring design issues like bad life bar and generally bad scoring system that focuses on combo rather than accuracy first. These systems being taken as is without fixes into osu, while community builds up the game several fold more complex than the hardest songs in the original games becomes one of the most miserable annoying games to play. it is not fun to grind a game where one miss equals a full restart while other systems focusing on accuracy lets you try through a whole song with prospect of improvement regardless the combo.

Taiko no Tatsujin or even Donkey Konga are good fun.

Love me some Taiko no Tatsuijin! Osu is a bit above my personal skill set

Anything Miku/Project Diva gets my approval. I am only ok at it skill-wise though

Final Fantasy Theatrhythm!

I didn't know there was an arcade version! I really enjoyed Final Bar Line & KH: Melody of Memory. I really wish the Dragon Quest one was localised! Theatrythm is a great series in general

Guitar Hero III (PS2)
i have so much fun memories of this game and back in the day it has inspired me to learn to play a real guitar and listen to more old rock music

Wacca, next question

 

[KaiserMk7]

Does the Subrosian dance minigame in Oracle of Seasons count?

 

[ThatOneLum ThatOneLum]

Anything in the MaiMai range of cabs is heavenly. Something fun about slapping those big weird buttons around the screen.

The others I've played extensively have been guitar hero/clone hero/frets on fire and Taiko no Tatsujin. I've been meaning to buy a Taiko drum for the Switch but I haven't got around to it yet lmao

 

[Lokgamer]

Hatsune Miku Project Diva and Metal Hellsinger.

If I count the Karaoke/Disco Dancing minigames from Yakuza for myself, then I don't see why that couldn't count for you!

I still want a Taiko drum as well! I nearly bought one for my Switch back in 2020-2021

Hatsune Miku Project Diva and Metal Hellsinger.

Project Diva rules! I'm not as keen on Metal Hellsinger, but I'm glad such a unique idea exists!

Exactly! As a Miku lover I really appreciate the existence of Project Diva and as a Metalhead and fan of doom 2016 I really apreciate the existence of metal hellsinger.

1- Project Diva MM+ on Pc with mods for mooore songs
2- Taiko No Tatsujin Rythm festival
3- Persona 4 dacing
4- Persona 3 Dancing
5- Groove Coaster Switch
6- Rythm Heaven Wii/3DS
7- Theatrhythm FF Bar line (even if i mess up with the joystick the controlls were better on 3ds but local multiplier is fun)
8-Project Sekai Colorful Stage
The games that disapointed me:
-Kingdom Hearts Melody of memories, I beat it but sometime i feel like the songs and targets aren't exactly matching
-Persona 5 dancing, The remix seems a lot lower in quality compared to the others games accord to me

What bothered me about Melody of Memories is only really a nitpick, but a few of my favourite songs to play on there didn't count towards certain milestones like total enemies defeated. I really enjoyed it otherwise.
P5D is probably my least favourite of the Persona Dancing games, but I still had fun with it. They weren't quite the same as P4D.

I'm a big fan of that list in general, though!

Funny thing is I'm quite compotent on a guitar by a guitar hero I'm bloody useless

 

[Agent Otaku]

P4/P5 Dancing games. They're really fun!

I'm the opposite! I used to be really good at Guitar Hero, but I was always hopeless on an actual guitar

P4/P5 Dancing games. They're really fun!

I love how P4D had a proper Persona-style story to it! P3D & P5D were also great fun, but I was a little disappointed at how scaled back their stories were

Funny that I'm pretty decent on a real guitar
Though I prefer the drums

I got into rhythm gaming back in 2021, and I somehow managed to play a ton of rhythm games on various devices and platforms. Somehow though, I still have a ton more games I want to play!

Here's my current top 5.

1. BeatmaniaIIDX
2. Samba De Amigo
3. Project Diva (except I didn't really like project diva x that much.)
4. Sound Voltex
5. DDR

And if i'm being honest here, it'd be easier to name rhythm games I haven't played than the ones I have.

Also, while this isn't necessarily a rhythm game, there are so many rhythm games with Touhou songs!

I never ended up trying Project Diva X. I mostly played Project Diva f 2nd on my PS Vita, and then Future Tone when that came out on PS4.

I've been playing rhythm games for almost 20 years and I'm still finding out about a LOT of them that I haven't played or heard of before!

I don't play many rhythm games but I do like Friday Night Funkin.

Guys ! i forgot to share a very fun experience I made !
I been playing project diva since psp I started in easy and the gap from easy to normal was ok but normal to hard was very challenging for me ! And 10 years later i'm can beat 98% of the songs in hard and a very tiny bit on extreme.
So Years ago I made my bestfriend play on ps4 (she hated vocaloid voices for a long time and never really played rythm games) I pretend that the easy mode was hard. I pretend that easy and normal were bored old charts from psp and 3ds.
Now she play in extreme and ex etreme only ! She buy various games from the series and she even have some songs that she love !
We love to play rythm games togerther if you have any suggestion for 2 players games others than taiko, KH and FF.
(Fun fact 2: I have a mini project diva controller and don't have space for taiko ones so i turned an old rockband drum into a 2 player taiko controller ! It work great but beating the controller with 4 drumstick at the same time make the clip that hold the psoiton getting lower and lower so we end playing on the ground)

 

[chxshire22]

As a teen i played a lot of Deemo, in fact it was the first game i purchased on the play store.

Magnolia is a good song, so is Sairai, and a bunch of other tunes. I reaaaally recommend playing this

But now i really love PSP's Project Diva Extend, and Project Diva Megamix!

That is an awesome story!

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle is a pretty fun multiplayer rhythm game. It has online & local, although I've heard the online co-op can be pretty spotty. I've only played local co-op.
