Gamers Heroes: 80 / 100 by Casey Scheld

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival features a killer setlist, a great difficulty curve, and a splash of flash. While the subscription-based Taiko Music is a questionable addition, this title is well worth a drum solo (or quartet).

EGM: 4 / 5 by Mollie L Patterson

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a solid new entry in Bandai Namco's rhythm game franchise, offering a roster of fresh music to enjoy, some creative new game modes, and more unlockables to have fun collecting. The game doesn't offer as many multiplayer options as its predecessor did, but does feature more to keep solo players occupied. Rhythm Festival also offers what is arguably the biggest addition the franchise has ever seen, the Taiko Music -a new music subscription service that can greatly expand the life of the game while also bringing with it some additional concerns over our subscription-laiden future.

NintendoWorldReport: 6.5 / 10 by Jordan Rudek

Fans of previous games and Japanese music, including the dozens of anime themes available here, will find a charming and compelling package in DON-chan's latest outing. Others might not appreciate the lack of variety in the basic library, which seems to demand that players fork over for the more robust offerings of the Music . It rubs me the wrong way when, at launch, the base version of a game contains but a fraction of what can be purchased or rented digitally. There's no denying the cute and colorful characters of the Taiko no Tatsujin world, but you're almost forced to pay a to keep the party going.
