In the mind of a song writer!

If you should tidy your games(and not only because your mother says that) this game would be put in the category "odd story"! If the question is why then read the plot. You are in the dreams of the polish song writer Frederick Chopen while he is dieing from a fatl disease. The character which you control is called Polka. It is a young girl that suffers from a non-treated disease. You get to know other children(with music names) to fight the evil wizard Waltz. As a game with a revolutionary idea it is surprisingly good.

The game has a classical value. This results from the wonderful places and the colourful design. The levels are all fascinating and you don't fell like stopping watching them. There will be moments when you will find yourself gazing around with the feeling of amuzement. Unfortunately the camera stays still and that limits you in one view so you can't look everything you want. But the wonderfull cel-shaded graphics and the soundtrack that consist of Chopen's music will make a dream-world that invites you to explore him and it's sure that you will.

The game has of course the features of a classic RPG game(levels, exploration, special powers etc.) but there is some originality too. In the begining of every lap your character can move freely and make as many atacks as he wants. However there is a time limit. Every atack reduces the time that has left so you will have to think carefully before you act and plan you tactic.

In the PS3 game there are some bonus more than the 360 one. That happens because it is improved. Two extra levels exist the couple of Crescendo and Serenade is available. Moreover the story has been well translated and has some more cutscenes with Chopen as a star. In these scenes everything about the plot is explained.

the game has only a few bad things but who minds! Everything that doesn't happen in reality happens in dreams! A woth playing game!
