  Considering its low asking price, Magical Beat is a fantastic and bold puzzle game that only skips a few beats. The lack of online multiplayer is like nails on a chalkboard for a title such as this, but the magnificent soundtrack, charming avatars, and addictive twist on an age old genre make it worth dancing to the tune of.

  Magical Beat, while cleverly designed and audiovisually charming, feels stripped down. The game lacks the sorts of options and modes that help elevate a standard puzzle game to the level of cherished time-killer and competitive classic. Though a handful of nifty unlockables make for fun fan service, they don't add much to the threadbare single- and multiplayer modes. It's a real shame that this cute concert feels like it's over before it has barely started.

  Magical Beat is a basic rhythm-based puzzle game that exists thanks to similar titles like Lumines and 0D Beat Drop. Although it provides fun in small doses, the difficulty quickly ramps up in a way that requires patience to progress. Hardcore puzzle fans, however, should not pass it up for exactly that reason. Yes, the game is rather small in scope, but it’s also only ten dollars.

  It forced me to master it, learning how to work in tandem with the beat and the puzzle elements, and I continued on into the night after I unlocked the bonus songs with a smile on my face. But after everything was said and done, I wanted a bit more variety -- not just in the form of more songs -- but in some new modes or even online multiplayer. The good news is the core formula is very solid, so if you're looking for a new puzzle battle game, this is it.

  Seasoned puzzle fans will have a field day with this game, but those who prefer a little more meat in their experience will be left wanting more
