A fun game. It's fun for parties, or just when trying to pound out a beat. I really wish there were more songs I liked, though. ["Doki!" version]

It loses a point against "Samba de Amigo" purely for the reason that it doesn’t make you move like complete prat whilst playing it, but for overall accessibility it can’t be beaten.

Seems to be aimed at a younger audience than most rhythm games, and as such, the challenge of the game is ramped down somewhat. There is some difficulty to be found in the harder levels, especially in the survival mode, but in the end, anyone with any rhythm whatsoever shouldn't have any trouble breezing through every song in the game. [JPN Import]

Ironically, given the extreme Japanese presentation, it's an excellent title to introduce to non-gaming friends demonstrating again how the genre continually transcends cultures by virtue of its core universal gameplay. [JPN Import; 3 Mar 2003, p.103]
