So the other day I roamed out to the mall and got me a fabulous DS game known to the world as OntamaRama.
SO.
It's pretty much a music/rhythm game not unlike Taiko Master or Donkey Konga.
BASIC JIST: Fill notes to play them by poking little goobers in the eye, play them by pressing the corresponding directional button.
IS IT ARE BE FUN TEIM?: I think so. Quite amusing, fun and takes a fair amount of skill. Got difficult for me pretty quick, since I don't have any sorts of skills to pay any kinds of bills. Particularly rhytmical bills. However, some of the songs are rather good and I enjoy playing it nonetheless. Seems to be a fair amount of unlockables (songs, play modes, etc).
O SHIT ITS CUTE: Yeah, yeah. Shut the fuck up, douchebags. If you like rhythm-ish type games, then don't fucking pass a perfectly good one up just because it's cute. In fact, don't pass up ANY decent game simply based on cuteness. It won't make your dick shrink to play something adorable.
ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT?: Story mode is incredibly fucking short. Not much of a story to it at all other than you have to save the ontamas. Left me wondering quite a few things (what the fuck are Ontamas? how the fuck can an evil dude get power from them? etc etc etc).
So... Considering all this, I give it about a 7, or a 7.5 out of ten. Super fun, but the fun runs out faster than I wanted.

As Neonie bitched to me about (<3), it's a multi-tasking game, and that totally isn't easy for everyone.
Funny though. I showed it to my music-game-loving friend who is crazy good at both DDR and Ouendan (the two things this game seems to be made of) and it just confused the crap out of him, even after I explained how to play.
And yeah, it gets kinda hard when there are a lot of ontamas on screen.
