Theatrhythm Final Bar Line breathes new life into songs that I’ve heard hundreds of times with its snappy action and whimsical presentation. It evokes the best kind of nostalgia and just made me feel good when playing it.

If you’ve played any rhythm game, Final Bar Line should be easy enough to pick up. Think Guitar Hero, but substitute the fretboard for a sequence of buttons to hit on your controller. There are a couple of distinct flourishes, like when you hold a button and follow notes using the joystick, which at times can almost feel like you’re conducting an orchestra. I especially enjoyed this mechanic during sweeping overtures like the main theme from Final Fantasy VII.

If you appreciate the soundtracks of Final Fantasy and/or happiness, you should probably play this game. It celebrates 36 years of music from a franchise near and dear to the gaming community. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to lounge in my favorite chair and relive some of my best childhood memories. — Andy Bickerton, contributor
