91Rhapsody is one of the best "oldschool" experiences you can have these days.
-
A fairly enjoyable title that is full of humor and memorable characters.
-
A sweet little game that offers a nice change of pace from usual RPGs. It's VERY cute though. [May 2009, p.77]
-
80Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a charming and welcome addition to the DS library. If you're looking for any sort of challenge, then turn around now, but if you prefer characters and light-hearted stories in your RPG. then by all means pick it up. This is a perfect title for newcomers to the RPG genre and hopefully sends a message to other publishers dumping shovelware onto girl gamers.
-
A cute, charming RPG that feels as a great gateway game for people who are interested in the genre.
-
Quite possibly the girliest, pinkest RPG you'll find - but it's still infinitely better produced and more charming than most. [Apr 2009, p.83]
-
A simple, fluffy and light-hearted affair, but one that will charm your socks off and make you giggle if you give it a chance. [May 2009, p.74]
-
80Unless you're completely jaded or prefer games with darker themes, Rhapsody is a fun and whimsical RPG that definitely warrants a look. [Oct 2008, p.93]
-
76Many gamers are going to dismiss Rhapsody out of hand as too cutesy, too girly, and just plain too weird. Still, the likable characters, fun quest, and lighthearted vibe add up to a loveable game that is well deserving of its cult status, and any DS RPG fan would do well to lighten up a little and follow Cornet on her quest.
-
70At 12 – 14 hours of gameplay, RPG fans who subscribe to the length = value doctrine may feel shortchanged, but within that short time Rhapsody packs a lot of personality.
-
70All told, though, Rhapsody's charm and characters do just enough to keep you going through the relatively short 14 hour experience. It won't be for everyone, clearly, and probably not every old school JRPG fan, either, but it's worth a punt.
-
Regardless of Rhapsody's shortcomings, the game manages to offer an enjoyable and very funny experience; none of it makes much sense, but then, it's not really meant to.
-
66Rhapsody might be a good choice for the budding RPG player, but it's too easy and too old fashioned for most of us.
-
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is not a bad game within its genre. On the contrary: despite its age and some aspect with are obsolete in comparison with more recent RPG titles, the game is still enjoyable as much as when its original installment came out ten years ago.
-
64As long as you can overlook the simplicity of the game play, the abundance of cut scenes and its ridiculous amounts of cuteness then there is a lot of fun to be found within.
-
60Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a lovely remake of a niche PlayStation classic, but it still lacks broad appeal.
-
Rhapsody DS won't replace your classic Playstation game disc, but it offers an updated touch to this original game in a portable package.
-
Luckily such design oversights are quite rare, but an overall polish doesn't change the fact that this 10 year old remake is suffering from an identity crisis. If the charm and appeal of Cornet's world gets its claws into you, you'll be hooked. If not, you'll be bored before the end of the third chapter.
-
As a whole package, Rhapsody delivers a charming and entertaining tale about love and finding one's happy ending.
-
This quirky RPG port of a PSone title has a reworked turn-based battle system that makes the already simplistic experience mind-numbingly dull.
-
50The main problem with Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is that it doesn't add anything new to a well-worn genre. If anything, it takes a smattering of ideas from other RPGs and tones them down quite a bit.
-
50It certainly has some potential, but Rhapsody constantly disappoints.
-
It's a whole lot of "blah" in a tiny piece of plastic.
-
42Outside of the charming (and yes, very girlie) story and genuinely humorous dialogue, all that's left is a short, extremely easy, and sometimes confusing RPG.
