What's your favorite rhythm game? And what's so special about it?

[Makaroshi]

• Sound Voltex - for aestetically cool visual, the "remixing" feeling and dynamic gameplay;
• Wacca - for Hardcore Tano*C, amazing originals and also for very fun yet not so hard gameplay with intensive hands movement;
• Chunithm - honestly, it has the best music library so far, that alone makes me want to play it;
• beatmania IIDX/BMS - BoF, awesome IIDX music libraryl
• pop'n music - it just brings satisfaction when I beat something in this game, because I find 9k layout to be the hardest out of all rhythm games I've ever played (yes, for me it's even harder that IIDX lol);

My favorite rhythm games:
*MUSECA 1+1/2
*DDR (I was a pro in the PlayStation era DDR games back in the day)
*Taiko no Tatsujin
*Maimai (the washing machine shaped arcade game)
*Dog of Bay (Japan only PS2 launch title, kind like Dogs version of Cats)
*Pop'n Music (especially the Halloween themed one)

Cytus!!
Yes its on mobile but when I was 10-13 (maybe) I loved the music in it.(All of them)I re-downloaded it a few years ago and huh...The game feels very bad...But I didn't regret checking it out again because of nostalgia

What game should I try first? I'm familiar with the franchise, but never played a single Guitar Hero game. I've heard of Clone Hero though, I might go with that.

Yeah, clone hero is the best way to play guitar hero games, there is so many songs you can download. I dont remember an exact site but there is a site called something like encore chorus (correct me if im wrong) where you can search for a song and get it, as long as someone has made a chart for it.

The remake of Shadow of the Beast plays like a rhythm game but is disguised as an action game. Same with the Kung Fury Arcade game. Both rock.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is excellent.

Persona: Dancing All Night games are alot of fun too

DJ Hero was a really fun time with the controller.

And Audiosurf is a classic if you want to play rhythm stages based on your own songs. It may be a little dated now though

The only ones I've ever played are Crypt of the Necrodancer(super fun), and RockBand, but I only ever did vocals.
