Curtain Call is a rhythm game filled with artful nostalgia, but elements like the Quests elevate it beyond enjoyable pandering.

Its enormous musical selection means that any dedicated player will easily spend over one hundred hours trying to unlock everything and among the rhythm and music genre, this is an indispensable buy.

With gameplay limited to simple taps and swipes, I realize that only a niche group of people would enjoy the time spent here, and honestly, I don't feel as though Curtain Call is a complete game—I prefer to think of it as an interactive music player.

If you enjoy rhythm games,Great music & final fantasy along with other square enix franchises then I basically guarantee that you will love this game. Final bar line on switch is an all around better game in general but the ability to use the touch screen / stylus for this entry really does change a lot. The added wrinkle of stylus play on the 3DS makes the gameplay much more involved and exciting. The song list is solid and the controls are almost always extremely reactive. Combining rhythm game play with JRPG style play is genius and make the experience that much better overall. Highly recommend this game!

Ahora sí que sí. Horas y horas de duración para comemorar una de las mejores franquicias de los videojuegos. La que se viene con Final Bar el año que viene será gorda.

Even the small issues of Curtain Call will not manage to take it away from the spot of the best rhythm game on the system.

The ultimate concern with any rhythm game is whether the actions that the game is asking players to take (swipes, taps and so on) reflect the movement and mood of the music. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call nails this, and makes for a music game that is both fun and rewarding. Especially for the Final Fantasy fans out there.

After over 85 hours of play Final Fantasy Theatrythum is one of my favourite 3DS games not only is the chibi art style gorgeous but the game has content and a lot of it! with over 200 tracks ready to play without any updates or DLC and the Rythmia system isnt bad it both progresses the story unlocks characters with shards and new special songs and on top of that with the songs unlocked you can plug headphones into your 3DS and play your songs on the go a nice little reward for people who just wish to relax. the difficulty of the game is perfect you can take it slow pace yourself to hit right notes at its medium difficulty and hit almost every note on hard and i have tried to get SSS on almost all of the final fantasy 7 songs the buttons are responsive fast the songs are memorable the art is lovely my only gripes that i have is that its hard to get platinum cards for collector enthusiasts and i wish i wouldn't receive the same platinum card yes i know i can boost characters with it but i Wish there was a way for us collectors to boost up our library but regardless this Isnt much of a massive setback at all you can still enjoy the game for what it is. but my biggest problem with the game is i wish there was more content yes there are hundreds of songs on dlc to download and yes i have bought a few songs (all of ff7 and advent childrens dlc songs and bravely defaults songs) but i just wish FF15 songs where here really after only the second game for it being a curtain call i really hope there is an encore! this game is perfect and the community on gamefaqs can always help you out if you wish to play online but theatrythum gets a 10 out of 10.

Being able to play something that celebrates over two decades of excellent music brought me lots of joy, and serves as a reminder that Final Fantasy has some of the best music in video game history.

It's more a second movement than a sequel, but it's still brilliant and full of memorable tracks.

Curtain Call could be a better game, but its music makes up for the fairly straightforward rhythm action on display. If you've been a stranger to the series until now and want to jump in, Curtain Call offers hundreds of Final Fantasy songs, from the mainline series to the obscure spinoffs.

The game's fusion of rhythm-action and RPG never quite fits as neatly as you'd hope. [Nov 2014, p.115]

Awesomely addictive game. So many characters to level / abilities to lock/ songs to get/ the list goes on. It's def a hard game to put down, I always want to play just one more song.

good game and i loved the RIDICULOUS number of songs/characters the game comes boxed with but some of the graphics actualy made me ill during my playing it. in particular this would be the rainbow during the regular songs and the tilting screen during the airship songs. if you are visualy sensitive be aware of these features otherwise buy away!

What cannot be denied about this game is the addictive quality of the levels. There came a point after about 5 hours of gameplay, where the realisation hit that realistically I was playing for upgrades that are essentially pointless; (in-game sound effects, new characters - which in truth have no personality). For a split second I was excited to have a decision, do I unlock princess garnet from Final Fantasy IX or Tifa from Final Fantasy VII? Once I had chosen, it was apparent that it didn't make the slightest difference to my playing. There is no criticism for the in-game content; much like a typical Final Fantasy game that can always be depended upon for plenty of game content. There are tracks to play from all the main games to date and even some of the more obscure spin-offs of the series. That being said, having to spend 89p to play some of the e-store tracks does seem rather exorbitant. Although the game definitely improves upon the original Theatrhythm, it doesn't have a big enough hook to make me want to play more than a few hours casually. I tried out the medley quests until I got bored of them and then played a few tracks from the recently added Final Fantasy XIII-3 but then I was ready to trade it in. + Masses of unlockable content + Improves upon gameplay elements of predecessor - Buying bonus content can get expensive - Replay value gets a little stagnant

One of the worst music/rhythm games i have ever played. Now with a supposed "sequel", which is just the same game with minor additions that could have easily been DLC for the original. Totally overrated by Final Fantasy fangirls. While the music in most final fantasies is great, it doesn't sound that good on the 3DS. And the gameplay is abysmal. Why pay money for this when you can listen to the various OSTs in much better quality on Youtube?
SummaryTHEATRHYTHM FINAL FANTASY CURTAIN CALL expands on the original in every way with new gameplay modes, 221 songs, and over 60 playable characters. Featuring music that spans the full breadth of the storied FINAL FANTASY franchise, players tap along to the memorable beats and harmonies as the adorable, stylized characters battle and quest t...
