Since receiving my import copy ofRhythm Heaven Wiilast week, a day hasn’t gone by by when I haven’t gushed abouthow awesome its monkeys are(usually to a relatively disinterested non-gamer friend), sang one of its songs at the top of my lungs (likeYou’re my I Love Youfrom Japanese girl group The Possible heard in the video above, andhere in the game), or spent an inordinate amount of time analyzing one of the game’s tricky rhythms. The game may not take +40 hours to complete, but I’ve already spent +40 hours thinking about how awesome it is. That’s how you know you got your money’s worth.
It looks like I’ll have even more opportunities to think aboutRhythm Heaven Wiiwhen I’m not playing it. A 4 disc CD soundtrack for the game is set for release on August 24th for 4,800 yen (only 1,000 less than the game itself). There are over150 songs here, including some “perfect” and extended tracks. The previousRhythm Heavensoundtracks released in Japan sold out fast, so if you want this sucker, you better snatch it up quick.
