A few beats off key

Ontamarama has some cool, although peculiar, tunes drawn from all across the musical spectrum. Compared to other music games, like Dance Dance Revolution or the upcoming It’s a Wonderful World, the tunes are definitely different - but even in its oddity, it’s delightful to listen to. Overall, the world of Ontamarama is a strange one - even for the hardcore fans of Japanese role-playing games. It’s colorful (thanks to nice art direction) and the music does a good job portraying the game with style. If what Ontamarama was trying to do was advance the music game genre, it sort of has. But, if a sequel can better integrate the two strands of its gameplay, we could have a real hit.

You'll love

You'll hate
  • Challenging!
  • Not entirely cohesive
