Have you played DDR? Donkey Konga? or any other music related game. Well I have to say this is the first game that i have played that makes it really seem like you are playing an instrument. You'll really find out if you play with 3 other friends because when doing so there is almost no automated sounds, only sounds that you play.

The game basically starts out in a begginer mode. This mode is extremely easy because all you only need to hit 1 of 2 things, either the d-pad or face buttons. In the other difficulty modes you will have to start using each directional input, each face button, and even the L & R buttons, transforming the whole DS into a complete instrument.

The gameplay will remind you of DDR but the gameplay is more like Donkey Konga as the Notes to be played come in the Left to Right motion instead of from the bottom going upwards. You'll play the notes either pressing a key note, pressing and holding a key note, seems easy enough right? Wrong, depending on the songs you can be in for some extreme finger excercise.

Now I would want to go and talk all day long about the great songs but its easier to just provide a link with everything listed for you, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daigasso!_Band_Brothers#Song_list.

I do have to say that the game does take some time to learn, it is pretty hard once u get out of the begginer mode. However there is a HUGE self reward for sticking to it and experiencing what this little gem offers. For me this game has been not just a gaming experience and more like Woodstuck..........short of the sex and drugs though, but sometimes u do get that high feeling when you play a truly awesome game, which i really do think this is.
