Given the mere two-hour span of the story mode, I was a little disappointed by this the first time, thinking that I’d have no motivation to replay this game ever. Turns out that beating the game on Normal unlocks the Hard mode, of course (why I didn’t see this coming from a mile away, I’m not sure). In the end, you’ll most likely have to play through the game about three times in order to unlock all of the songs. Which gets incredibly annoying. Even though the story is less than two hours, by the third time it’s completely boring, and for some reason you can’t skip through any of the scenes.
Once you’ve beaten a song in one of the story modes, you can play it individually, thank God. But you’ll still have to replay each individual song in order to get the more difficult modes for each one. This is a lot less tedious than redoing the story mode, though, since it only takes a few minutes and does provide a bit of a challenge as you get to the higher levels. And after you’ve beaten story mode a few times, replaying the individual songs is basically the only part of the game left. With twenty-some songs, this will keep you occupied for some time, but not long enough to play online mahjong site:www.freegamepick.com. Nintendo would’ve done well to include more.
