Summary: Rhythmic Acid Trip

Taiko no Tatsujin is a colorful rhythm game with quick load times and fun minigames. Although I don't read or speak Japanese, it has a tutorial mode that demonstrates the mechanics of the game.

The music is interesting (especially to my Western ear), the gameplay is challenging (especially on the fourth difficulty level) and the visuals are somewhat akin to "Simpsons" episode where the family visits Japan and keeps getting seizures from watching TV.

Overall, two complaints: one, the high-pitched child-on-amphetamines voice really grates on you after awhile; two, the visuals may be a little too trippy -- prolonged play (an hour or so) gave me a headache.

For help navigating the Japanese menus, try here.
