 Music video game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A music video game, also commonly known as a music game, rhythm action game, or rhythm game, is a type of video game where the gameplay is oriented almost entirely around the player's ability to follow a musical beat and stay with the rhythm of the game's soundtrack.
In an offshoot of the serious games initiative, a hybrid music video game is emerging where the goal of the game itself is the resulting concert music from the interaction between performer and live projected video game.
However, unlike many other music games, the player may obtain an even higher score and access a special "COOL" mode of play by "freestyling" (though the algorithm by which this is scored is often nebulous and the results virtually unpredictable).
