I think the world of Nocturne makes for a really interesting backdrop for a really cool story.

Having to play to the music during fights means that you're always engaged in fights, and is a downright ingenious way of keeping grinding against enemies from getting stale.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

The four difficulty levels allow anything from a great introduction to a genuine rhythmic challenge, making it perfect for anyone, rhythm gamer or not!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
47 of 278 sampled reviews raised it
The rhythm game aspect isn't much different from classic 4 column games like Sound Voltex or Robeats, but the way it combines it with combat puts SUCH a cool spin on it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Fantastic original soundtrack (which is especially important for a rhythm game lol).
