For other, there are Doney Konga, Samba de Amigo, Parappa the Rapper, Battle of the Bands, and a few other upcoming games. I can't wait for We Cheer, personally.

I'm going with Guitar Hero. DDR is a lot of fun, too, but the song selection totally ruins it. The gameplay is more fun in DDR, but it doesn't have many good tunes, which is why I went with Guitar Hero. You get a good workout from DDR, and it's really fun jumping around, but God, what to listen to? Kick the Can?

Audiosurf was a major disappointment for me. Donkey Konga flat out sucked, and I can't think of any other Rhythm games I've played at the moment.

I think there are lots of "fun" songs in DDR.. not in a genre I would normally listen to, but still cool. My vote goes to Elite Beat Agents, though. That game was freakin awesome.

Ever play Samba de Amigo? :D It's coming out on the Wii soon, IIRC. But yeah, my favorite is Rock Band. Harmonix are awesome, and it shows in the games they make and how they treat their community.

Amplitude was also a good one.

I guess Guitar Hero and Rock Band blow the socks of anything simply with their controls, but they use the same formula as amplitude

The lack of Beatmania IIDX in this poll is blasphemus.

My favourite is DJMAX on PSP but the best is the mania/freaks series from Konami.

DDR, but Stepmania, a free, deeper, community-supported game based off of it is much better, though you play with your fingers (also has USB gamepad support)

I'm not big on rhythm games, but can't you import your own songs into Audiosurf (I've only played a bit)? I don't find the tracklists for any other rhythm game too appealing, so I never buy them.

I really liked a lot of the games mentioned on this thread, but I have to admit that I was addicted to Guitar Hero the longest time.

So, I voted for Guitar Hero in the poll.

probably Parappa... But also Rhythm Tengoku, which isn't a series yet since only one game's been released and only in japan, but there's a sort of sequel coming for the Wii

Although I've played others, Patapon is the only rhythm based game I took very seriously.

If Rockband was on the poll I'm pretty sure it would win but my vote for GH would still stand. I just got done playing a session as a matter of fact. I think I just played the guy who equals me in skills. Very close 5 game match. Every song came down to the wire.

Yeah, you can play any song on Audiosurf. Hell, they don't even have to be songs. I played Dane Cook tracks while playing Audiosurf.

Also, I'm such a freaking idiot for forgetting Rock Band! How could I possibly forget that?

I wish they would bring this game to North America it looks so cool.

Daigasso! Band Brothers it would be so awesome to play this game but I can't since I don't live in Japan. They were thinking about bringing it to North America under the Title "Jam with the Band"

But of the games I played Rock Band.

I really liked Parappa the Rappa, then the mind-bending Um Jammer Lammy. Then Parappa the Rapper 2 came out and it pretty much ruined the series with it's dull setting and storyline plus poor uninspired and non-catchy songs.

Samba de Amigo was a blast, specially ver.2000 which had an amazing 40+ track selection.

I also like the Beatmania series. The only problem with them is that every release always has only a few tunes I like among tons of generic tracks.

Hm Rythm Heaven looks interesting. But i don't like WarioWare much so...
Probably my vote would go to Elite Beat Agents. I'm getting it next week if things go right.

Rock Band...mainly because of the drums
