    Being a session musician with perfect pitch, I thought "WOW! This will be amazing!" Yeah I cried myself to sleep that night. I have perfect pitch yet the actual quality of the sound is so ass-backwards and the game doesn't give you any idea of what to do, It's like doing the dirty with a mute. You have no idea what they want and if they try to make a sound it just sounds bad.

    Reviewers and the earlier user review miss the point of this cartridge. It's not a fun, action-packed adventure game. As a matter of fact, it's not really much of a game at all.

Sure, the graphics get annoying, and I wish I could turn off the canned applause to speed up the drills, but the cartridge gives a fair approximation of a college-level introductory ear training course. That's what I hoped it would be, and that's exactly what I got.… Expand

    While I agree that students don't have to be coddled and rewarded for every lame attempt they make, neither should they be continually punished. The game forces them into a mode of learning that is definitely not nurturing.

    Rhythm 'n Notes, as a whole, really doesn't have all that much to offer. It's all flash and no substance.

    This game, unfortunately, is one big negative.
