There’s a beautiful little touch in Spin Rhythm XD. Occasionally, you’ll be asked to just wildly spin the game’s onscreen controller - a two-tone disc responsible for playing almost all of the game’s notes. It’s a moment of exuberant action amidst a game all about small-scale perfection, the same feeling you used to get from Rock Band’s drum fills.
But what I love in particular is that, when you stop that spin and get ready to keep playing your chosen electronic cut, the game always leaves the disc in the perfect position to play the next note. It’s a miniature masterstroke of design, a way to simultaneously make the game feel fair, and keep you perfectly in the flow (not to mention feeling amazingly good at a game that gets pretty punishing pretty quickly).
