Oh man, this is one of those obscure GBA gems that flew under the radar. It's a Japan-only Fullmetal Alchemist rhythm game where you tap along to anime tracks from the series. The timing feels surprisingly tight for a GBA title, and the pixel art cutscenes between songs are a nice touch if you're into the 2003 anime's style.

You'll recognize most of the big tracks from the show - "Melissa" and "Ready Steady Go" are in there, though some arrangements sound a bit compressed on the GBA's hardware. The difficulty spikes hard around the later songs, especially if you try playing on the harder modes. I remember getting wrecked by "Brothers" the first time through.

Definitely more of a novelty for FMA fans than a serious rhythm game contender, but there's charm in how weirdly ambitious it is for a licensed GBA title. Just don't expect anything close to modern rhythm game polish.
