App Review: Groove Coaster

Just when the music game genre was going stale, Groove Coaster comes along and not only turns it on its ear, but delivers a wonderful breath of fresh air. Rather than staying put and waiting on the notes to come to you, you’ll hop onto a winding track, touching the screen as your icon crosses flashing beats. That not only gives the game a sense of motion, it keeps you on your toes as your perception is challenged. (Is the next beat far away or just over the next hill?) That winding sense also helps to visualize the music. The firework-like explosion of light that accompanies successfully hitting each beat makes things even more challenging — but also much more fun.

How enjoyable is this game? It’s one of the very few you’ll sit through the credits for multiple times — since even those are playable.
