Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Rhythm play modeled on performing an instrument through timed notes, gestures, or instrument-shaped controllers.

Include when

Assign Instrument Rhythm when rhythm play modeled on performing an instrument through timed notes, gestures, or instrument-shaped controllers. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Instrument Rhythm from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
