Ill be downloading the trial atleast.

[MILINKYO]

LOOKS OK!!! might check it out. also it looks like you get a 50g cheevo just for buying it.

[Invader999]

Will definetely be buying this the minute I get more points. Finally, our donations get us loads of points. If you don't know what I'm talking about, the achievement Fairy Godmother is most likely obtained by buying the game.

[Doctor Mandrake]

I bought it this morning (yay for charitable good deeds!) but haven't played it yet. Looks like a fun distraction, though.

Huge sucker of a game, given it's status as a casual title. Over 800 megs. Go figure.

[Snotty]

The Xbox dashboard has chime on its game marketplace and spotlight front pages, and giant bomb refered to it in their 'I love mondays' video so hopefully this will find itself in the mainstream.

This games good fun, with appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers.

I think the best song is in the demo (mind=blown) but they other songs are solid too.

[xhunterrrr]

I am downloading this right now and it looks like a pretty enjoyable game. There have been a ton of games involving blocks/objects and music, but this one actually looks fun!

[SenTK421]

Indeed a good game and charitable. I was also surprised in the size of it at nearly 900MB, must be some high quality sound but since my speakers are crap at the moment I can't get the full effect.

[operation remie]

very very fun game. i can't wait to try and get 100% on this one.

[kookyscientist]

It's a great game.

[Gunstar Red]

The game is decent and you do get the Fairy Godmother 50 GS the moment you start the game. I picked it up since it goes to charity. The 810+ MB is daunting though since I'm starting to run out of space on my HDD.

[Stealth_Lynx]

I warmly recommend the game.
It's like the bast*rd child of Tetris and Guitar Hero (or Music 2000 for those old enough). I wonder how long it takes before you can't stand the soundtrack, after hearing it over and over when replaying till you get 100%. Sounds more feasible than Hexic HD (I still miss the last one).

[velho lobodomar]

are there any hard/annoying achievements or is it an easy/quick 200?
i want to help with the donations, but it is not my type of game really.

[MetallicaDan]

I got 95 points in about 2 hours of play. It seems like it's one of those easy to play, hard to master games. Pretty fun though.

[o0Grimmjow0o]

The achievements are hard at some point, but I just like the game.

[Coorhagon]

anyone know what charities the money goes to?

[quadrin_5]

LOVE this game! i played around with the trial version and by the time i looked at my watch, 3 hours had passed. looks like it's gonna be tough to get "Ultimate Champion" achievement though. sure hope more tracks are released down the line.
