Major Minor's Majestic March Review
Now, I'll admit that even thought the interface and tutorial make this game seem like it will be a cakewalk (move baton to rhythm, wave to have others join), there's a big learning curve, mainly in keeping with the proper pace so that you don't lose band members and remembering what symbol means what when seeing who you're going toofast/slow for. However, once you dedicate a couple of rounds to getting the hang of it, you'll find that MMMM is a pretty enjoyable experience.
I would recommend this game to any fan of the rhythm and music genre, but do not buy it just because the art style is reminiscent of Parappa, or because the same people worked on it. Sure, the cutesy story scenes and quirky style of the game are very similar to that iconic title, but this is a whole other game altogether.
The graphics themselves aren't awe-inspiring, but the art direction and colorful back-drops shine through. It's also great to hear how the pace of the tunes in each stage speed up or slow down in real-time depending on how fast or slow you move the baton.
I had a fun time with MMMM. Overall I'd say it is a highly recommended and highly underrated gem of the music genre and deserves a second look. Ignore anyone who didn't like it because they didn't get the hang of it right away. My only complaint is that after playing a few stages your arm WILL be tired. Alternate the arm you use if you can!
