An extremely satisfying experience and, if nothing else, certainly renewed my appreciation for classical music and for conductors, in general.
Once I got used to the orchestral score, Mad Maestro was surprisingly enjoyable, long and difficult (which isn't exactly the norm in the genre). [May 2002, p.107]

While it is a tad disappointing that the game doesn’t have its conductor’s staff, the overall selection of music encountered and execution makes for a refreshing departure from the status quo in the genre.
Although Mad Maestro is plenty novel, quirky, and cute as a button, it doesn't have enough depth or replay value to justify its price.
You get the feeling that this could be a nice little game that is more than the sum of it’s parts, but sadly this is not the case.
Mad Maestro!'s repetition, missing variety and sundry flaws make it the runt of the litter so far.
Pressing one button over and over at different pressure levels doesn't ring my bell, and I doubt it will ring most of yours.
Summary The city has announced plans to destroy the concert hall! The hero Takt is a young conductor attempting to recruit the best musicians, from all walks of life to put on a Mega-concert to save the concert hall. Perform perfectly, and you will save the hall and keep music alive for generations to come. Hit a bad note, and you'll be looking ...
