Rhythm Thief is a rhythm adventure game where you take the role of Phantom Thief R who travels through Paris stealing rare and valuable treasures. The rhythm portions of the game come into play as you attempt to break in and escape from buildings. The gyro sensor will also be used somehow in gameplay.
The game has been compared to the Professor Layton and Elite Beat Agents titles due to the anime-like cutscenes and the rhythm-heavy gameplay of the title.
