Unlike the first game, you can play the main mode in coop. Both players will want a set of bongos. Super fun game, but your enjoyment is greatly influenced by music taste. |

You can play up to 4 player offline, but it gets cramped, so 2 players is recommended. Online play has a fee. |

Fun in quick spurts with crazy moves and easy to get into gameplay, but not deep or engrossing. |

Like Crystal Chronicles, everyone needs a GBA and link cable to enjoy this. Great game with a heavy setup and cost. |
