A Musical Story

One I saw this game, as a story and music lover, I jumped into the bandwagon. It took me a bit of practice at the beginning, but once the rythm fingers settled in, the music started flowing. The music and the graphics are beautifully crafted, and I felt I was a part of the story that was developing. Every once in a while I went back to a previous chapter to be able to play it "perfect". But then it arrived chapter 16 and the train derailed. The story took a dark path (that's ok, no problem about that), but the music... it started to break up along the story, coming more and more of a no-rythm, non-sense notes almost impossible to follow. The joy turned into a chore of trying to follow some sounds without a clue of when the keys need to be pressed. Thankfully, after a lot of misses, the game has some mercy of you and provides a traveling dot to show you when the notes are coming. But say bye-bye to that perfect chapters, and that means the "extra" ending scenes will not be shown. I wanted to love this game. I really did. But the strangeness of the music on chapters 17, 18 and so on, almost imposible to follow, sucked the joy out of it. It's a shame, because this game deserves better.
