Rhythm games are not the first type of games that I go for. While I do enjoy these games from time to time, I usually find them easy and repetitive. So when I came across Slash It Ultimate I was going in with a slightly preconceived notion on if I was going to enjoy the game or not. After putting in some time with the game I discovered that while it does exactly what I thought it would, it does have some variety to it.
Gameplay in this rhythm game is pretty straight forward. Music plays while images/letters/numbers show up on the screen. Hitting these images/letters/numbers at the right time raises your score while missing one resets any bonus score you were earning. At the end of the song you get a rating on how accurate you were, a one to five star rating and you earn credits to unlock new modes and songs.
There are seven different gameplay modes. Arrows, alphabet and numbers are pretty straight forward. Space is just hitting the spacebar when the image is in the right location. Words has you type what is on the screen while mouse has you using the mouse to hit all the images on the screen. Cube has you use the arrow eyes to move around and space to jump and when you jump your camera view changes from side view to behind you. Each mode has a normal and hard mode but I really could not tell a difference between the two.
There are a total of fifteen different songs in the game. Each song has a difficulty next to it, and I did notice a slight change in how fast things were on the higher difficulty songs. There is a decent variety of songs here although I liked the default one the best. Each song besides the default one has to be unlocked which can easy be done using credits earned. You have to unlock each gameplay mode for each song which is not hard, but can take awhile.
I liked the graphics of this game. The game uses constantly changing color backgrounds and light bursts that kept in line with the music. Each of the different modes also had there own background designs which reacted to the music. The audio was also good which is important since this is a rhythm game.
My biggest problem with the game is that it get repetitive fast. Even if you like the songs, the gameplay gets old fast. Also, the ability to not use your own songs was a letdown for me. That would have at least broken up some of the repetitiveness. Finally, once you unlock everything all that is left to do is beat your high score.
Even with my complaints, I did enjoy this game. The different game modes give you options as to how you want to play the game. While you can not use your own music, the fifteen songs here do provide some variety. Ultimately, if you like rhythm games this one is not bad. If you do not like them, this game will not do much to change your mind.
