Finish the game and you unlock a superb bonus, where you can take in the entire intoxicating experience from beginning to end, soaking ears and mind alike in the full album. The effect is wonderful – akin to Guitar Hero smashed into Rez, but also its own thing.
When better placed to move The Fool around, though, you can learn a level’s choreography, and get fully into the zone. This game is really made for a controller.
Also, the touchscreen controls are sub-optimal. Given the manner in which the lush visuals arrest the eyes, it’s easy to be dazzled and crash through levels at first. You blaze along in 3D, scooping up collectables by getting yourself into the right lane at the optimum moment. The game plays out as a rhythm action game. As if she didn’t already have enough to deal with.
