Published by Ubisoft, Jam Sessions arrived on the Nintendo DS in 2007 as a rhythm game.

It landed about 3 years into the DS's life. Other notable DS releases from 2007 include The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, The World Ends with You and Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you play on a TV with noticeable input lag
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Jam Sessions is like

Music and rhythm games challenge your timing by asking you to hit inputs in sync with the beat.

Tip for newcomers: Modern TVs can add input lag that throws off timing; use your TV's game mode if rhythm feels off.
