If you're going to rip off the Guitar Hero series, you should at least get the basics right, and that's where Rhythm Zone falls short. In Rhythm Zone, like in Guitar Hero, blocks of different hues representing musical notes travel toward the bottom of the screen, and you press the proper buttons as the blocks cross the bottom of the note highway. The game's hook is that rather than sticking with a predesignated tracklist, it lets you use your own music in addition to the small set of included songs. It's a great idea, but in practice, it's often a mess. While most songs are at least playable and occasionally enjoyable, few of them result in note structures that properly match the tune, let alone replicates the act of making music. You can plug in a Windows-compatible guitar controller if you want to inch closer to a music-making experience, but lack of strumming support makes this an incomplete option. While developer Sonic Boom deserves credit for letting users personalize their music game experience, Rhythm Zone proves that there's no substitute for a carefully constructed note chart that matches the music it accompanies.
