    An extremely satisfying experience and, if nothing else, certainly renewed my appreciation for classical music and for conductors, in general.

    Despite the obvious simplicity of such basic controls, Mad Maestro manages to play fairly convincingly.

    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.

    Mad Maestro!'s repetition, missing variety and sundry flaws make it the runt of the litter so far.

    Classical music fans rejoice and everybody else can rejoice too. THis game has a frantic fun to it. the soundtrack is one of the greatest ever assembled. The mini-games are weird and the graphics suck, but when you are in the middle of 'Swan Lake' trying to get a perfect score, none of that matters.… Collapse

    This is one of those games that few people know about, and that's unfortunate. It makes unique use of the PS2's pressure sensitive buttons to create a new kind of music and rhythm game: one where you are the conductor of a ragtag orchestra. The characters are a cute and a bit bizarre; your orchestra pit features instrument playing lions, robots and other misfits. The game provides little re-playability outside of the music sessions, and the story is a bit thin. The gameplay, however, is addicting and difficult. If you find this game in a bargain bin, give it a home. You may be surprised at how fun it is.… Expand
