The conductor minigame actually makes you feel the rhythm of the piece, and the way Nodame’s silly antics play out between scenes is spot on for fans of the manga. I’ve replayed the final concert sequence three times already, it’s that satisfying.

The tutorial does a great job teaching the baton gestures, and the game captures the manga's quirky humor perfectly. I love that you unlock cutscenes by hitting the right notes during concerts.

The game does a great job of capturing the quirky humor of the manga, and the conducting mechanic is surprisingly fun with the PS2 controller. I’ve spent hours trying to perfect my baton movements to match the music, which is a nice challenge.
