5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music in "Super Beat Sports" is generally praised for its catchy and infectious quality, enhancing the overall rhythm game experience. While the soundtrack is memorable and charming, some players feel that the combination of music and sports mini-games may not fully meet their expectations for variety and challenge. Overall, the game's simple controls and lively tunes contribute to a fun, toe-tapping atmosphere, despite some minor disappointments in multiplayer gameplay.
“The entire soundtrack is catchy as all heck, monsters are all adorable, baseball is incredibly fun.”
“A musical and sports mini-game collection may not be the perfect combination, but rhythm fun is still to be had.”

Super Beat Sports Review
Super Beat Sports casts the player into a world ruled over by inhuman alien lifeforms, obsessed with physical, brutal gladiatorial events under the oppressive droning of a harsh synthetic rhythm, without any explanation of why or how things have come to be this way. Aside from all that though, actually it's really rather cute, the games are fun for newcomers or veterans alike, and the local multiplayer options are top-notch. While score-chasers will find plenty of medals to earn for perfect performances, casual play will end up being pretty repetitious, especially with the lengthy load times. Because of this, even though it's broken up into bite-sized chunks it isn't always an ideal single player experience. We'd still recommend it however, especially at a budget price, so if you're looking for a fun party game to try out then assemble your crew and go whack some spaceballs!

Those who want their rhythm games to have a high level of challenge, a memorable soundtrack, and more variety in terms of gameplay, stay away from Super Beat Sports. Those who are content with something that's (relatively) cheap, casual-friendly, extremely cute, and fun despite a lack of depth, try out the demo, and if you like what you see (and hear), by all means, feel free to throw your money at it.
