If music be the food of love, play on; and if said music also gives me achievement points, play harder. Fantasia: Music Evolved is a 2 player co-op musical extravaganza coming to Xbox 360 and Xbox One later in the year. Many of the tunes are magical, whilst some are just manic.
One of the things I loved most about Fantasia: Music Evolved is that it truly is about the music. From watching trailers and gameplay you may think the concentration is on dancing, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, I'd argue you don't dance at all. A music game that requires Kinect but isn't a dancing game? It's true. And it's pretty fun too.
Launching for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, Fantasia: Music Evolved will be available October 21, 2014. Today we got a new trailer, as well as the announcement that songs from Depeche Mode, Drake, MIA, The Who, and more would be included in the game.
In a new trailer for Fantasia: Music Evolved, the latest music and rhythm game from Harmonix, we get a glimpse at The Capsule, a level (or realm) in Fantasia where a lone monkey is cut off from the outside world. The trailer shows off co-op and single player gameplay to Elton John's "Rocket Man."
Our last coverage of Fantasia: Music Evolved was at E3 2013, but that hasn't stopped the makers of Rock Band from putting in work on their new rhythm and music game. Of course, this time you don't need to break out the miniature drum set or the squeaky plastic guitars every time you want to have a jam session with your buddies. Merely stand in front of the Kinect and wave your arms a Conductor for the world's most erratic orchestra, and listen to the madness unfold.
After my Disney Infinity preview, I was treated to an in-theater demo of Harmonix' upcoming Fantasia: Music Evolved. Now, I had heard that this was going to be a game based on the classic Fantasia films, but with the inclusion of modern music, which seemed to clash with the theme. I went in skeptical, but Harmonix decided to get experimental on me and now I'm warming up to the idea.
