Wow, talk about original!

It may not be the best dance-rhytm game ever made, but this game has some properties to make it a worth-playing game for almost everyone that enjoys music and rhytm games. The graphics in black in which you see a rabbit following a line, it's actually...pretty cool! Some never-seen art that will be joyful for someone that is actually looking for something more original. The gameplay is nice, too, athough it may take some time to «get the right timing». The rabbit walks in a line, but this line isn't constant. It's got some obstacles, like «grass or spikes», elevations, loopings, or holes. To cross these obstacles you must press one of two or four possible buttons for the action you must take (roll over for grass, climb an elevation, cross over a hole, do a roll through the looping), for example, all the d-pad buttons do the same thing. But this isn't over yet! There are more complex obstacles that are a combination of two normal ones. And for those you must press two buttons corresponding to the obstacles that are making the big one (like a looping with spikes, or a hole). So I guess there are about 10 possible different obstacles with different ways to cross.
When you don't cross some obstacles properly, your rabbit may turn into a frog, and then into a worm, and then you lose if you still don't manage to cross many objects. You can be promoted, though, if you cross a certain number of objects without failing.
There aren't many options in this game, and about in-game only experience it may be quite limited, since you only have about 6/7 music courses to do divided in 3 categories, each harder than the other. There is something quite nice about this game, though, that makes this mainly-limited game last for a very long time for many (or for others, almost an eternity). YOU CAN PLAY YOUR OWN MUSIC CDS IN VIB-RIBBON!!! And although I can't manage to find anything out about how they game programs courses (or in other words if the music's sounds are properly matched with certain obstacles and how), something I can say: It makes a very fun and addictive experience, and it's worth trying every music!
So that's why I consider Vib-Ribbon one of the best and most original music-rhytm games of all times.
