description
Based on the manga series, Nodame Cantabile is a music/rhythm game where you lead a group of misfit musicians in an orchestra. You use the stylus to tap the screen in beat with the song, playing the part of the conductor Chiaki. The game features classical pieces from the anime series, as well as the Puri Gorota March!
Nodame Cantabile has likely been inspired by Nintendo's popular Nintendo DS™ Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents series. You have the scene playing out on the top screen and you hit moving notes on the bottom screen.

Pretty Good This is a fun game. You'll probably get more out of it if you've seen the series, but I played it before I watched it and it was still fun. The main gameplay is a rhythm game that's very similar to Ouendan, although much simpler. Some of the later pieces get fast and furious, but it doesn't get anywhere close to how hard Ouendan is. There's also a lot of other minigames included, such as a mini version of Taiko no Tatsujin. You'll complete the story mode very quickly, but there's a lot of unlockables. Language-wise, it's pretty difficult if you want to understand the plot, but it shouldn't be a problem if you just want to play the game.
Recommended for the price, for sure. Fans of the furious Ouendan pace might be a little dissapointed by how easy it is, though. On the other hand, anyone who couldn't keep up with Ouendan (or didn't like the music) might find this game more their pace.

GET IT IF YOU LOVE NODAME CANTABILE. Definitely a must have for the Nodame Cantabile fan. There's even a Purigorota mini game. (The very one Nodame was playing in ep 23/24 of the anime series)
The rearrangement of the classical pieces are really snazzy and cool too. :)

Short... But great fun! I completed this in just shy of 4 hours.. There are still a few little extras to complete though.
The gameplay is, as mentioned before, a collection of mini-games all of which can be easily completed by anybody with a sense of rhythm.
Be sure to check out the Anime and Manga series as well ;)

Not too bad for the price Its a collection of music ish based mini games. Theres a taiko drummer type one, a running to a space ship one, sorting clothes, cooking food, a musical conducting (similar to Elite beat or Ouendon) all with a classical music backdrop. For the price its a great game thus far (Got it a day ago) No reading really required, unless i guess you actually want to know whats going on lol other than that its pretty much common sense. ^_^
