Gaming Good Rhythm Games?

[_v3]

Taikojiiro (Taiko no Tatsujin) << Best one, I like this one soooo much, the taiko mode here is better than the taiko mode in osu! (tho it has only local multiplayer)
Osu! (EBA / Ouendan )
Lunatic Rave 2 (BEATMania IIDX PC)
Stepmania (Dance Dance Revolution)
K-Shoot Mania (SoundVoltex aka SDVX)
O2Mania (O2Jam)

All of the above are rhythm game for pc based and have either a built in or separate beatmap / notechart creator so you can make your own maps if you ever feel like it.
If you click on the name of the game it should redirect you to a YouTube video with some pretty hard maps (just to see what you could possibly one day be playing like).
These are the ones I personally know and have played, if there are others I'd like to know too

I used to play O2Jam but the server has been closed. Is there any new server?

Not as far as I'm aware off, there are certain low populated servers floating around (5-10 players online), nothing big.

There's a torrent floating around the internet not sure if it's legal to post here, the game is free I think since it's a fanmade game so linking to the torrent shouldn't be illegal?? IDK, easy way is to just google it out and add torrent at the end, should be the first result.

Lunatic Rave is excellent. Don't be scared off by videos of stupidly hard songs, there's enough easier ones too.

 

[emmanu888]

Just be warned that if your trying to find themes for Lunatic Rave, it can get a bit complicated, took me six hours to find the Beatmania IIDX EMPRESS theme.

 

[Ericthegreat]

Try Osu.

Yes, there's a total of 5 taiko no tatsujin wii games, all japan exclusives, so if you can import them you'll still have to hack your wii for region free disc loading (unless you got a hacked wii, then you can boot them from a usb loader).

Arras nailed it, for anything taiko related visit TaikoTime, the blog is constantly updated with the newest taiko no tatsujin related stuff (arcade news, console games, dlc...).

Only Osu! Forever Osu!...unless it's project Diva because that is fine too.

Playstation only (if you exlude project mirai) and for some reason they went with 30 FPS on F ones - on fucking rhythm game - especially when dreamy theaters were 60...

check out phaseshift if you are into the whole guitar hero/rockband scene

Here's a reasonably simple guide I found to setting up Lunatic Rave 2:
http://www.reddit.com/r/lunaticrave2/wiki/index
Yes, it is a bit of a hassle, but the game is excellent. I recommend setting up LR2HD and getting one of the HD skins (I use EndlessCirculation myself).

I've only played guitar hero and OSU! on PC. There are some good games on Nintendo DS, 3DS and PSP though.

 

[Alchemilla]

Osu!, Kickbeat, Retro/Grade and Space Channel 5 Part 2 are ones coming to mind. Also here's steam tag list: http://store.steampowered.com/tag/en/Rhythm/
If you emulate DS, PSP and other consoles then there's tons more.

Why are you recommending part 2 without recommending part 1? First game wasn't a rhythm game?

Why are you recommending part 2 without recommending part 1? First game wasn't a rhythm game?

Well first and most obvious issue is that they actually haven't ported first part, so you are going to need an emulator instead of buying native port. First part is also pretty much worse in every aspect, some parts are almost identical to second game, it's not needed that much plot vice and it uses videos with enviroments instead of 3D models, meaning playing game with 4:3 aspect ratio compressed video on modern HD monitor doesn't look that great at all.
