Only through the first 3 hells so far but not enjoying it as much as BPM: Bullets Per Minute. While the visuals are nice the actual rhythm portion feels very one dimensional. Having played BPM earlier in the year it felt like a much much smoother game from the rhythm perspective with the option for eighth notes as well as the extra replayability that comes from being a rogue-like.

A nice art piece and some solid music. But if you're looking specifically from a gameplay/mechanics (and arguably "fun factor) perspective I feel like BPM: Bullets Per Minute is hands down the better pick.

-- Went back and replayed BPM after to make sure I wasn't misremembering. While the better visuals / music go to Metal: Hellslinger, BPM is definitely the better game mechanically with fantastic mechanics and tighter controls.

-- Ended up picking this up again on a heavy discount (just a sucker for metal and rhythm) and finished out the whole thing. I still stand by it being more of an art piece than much of a game. It's pretty easy and the lack of subdivision on the notes keeps it from being that interesting. Robobeat or BPM are still the better games. But the music absolutely rocks. I'd give it a neutral rating if that was an option.
