Game: Rhythm Zone

The console gaming market has seen a real boom in the music and rhythm genre in recent years, with the likes of Guitar Hero and Rock Band bringing friends and family together with one true goal in mind - to rock out. Of course, the PC isn't so suited to such an experience, as the idea of a group of people congregating around a computer monitor in a study isn't so rock 'n' roll. A number of developers have still had a fair crack at it, of course. Rhythm Zone is Sonic Boom's take on the concept, with the twist that you can import your own music library into the game and play any song you want. While it sounds like a nice idea on paper, the end result is far too random, and this plus the lack of content makes Rhythm Zone difficult to recommend.
