A rhythm action game method and apparatus comprises an audio analyser 110 adapted to analyze a music track and provide corresponding rhythm data, and a sequence generator 260 adapted to generate game play cues according to said rhythm data. The audio analyser comprises a plurality of beat detectors 111, at least one section detector 114, and a correlator 115. The section detector 114 detects discrete sections within the music track, and the correlator 115 is adapted to provide a plurality of outputs for use in generating a dance or other sequence of cues for player response, dependent upon weighted values of the outputs of the plurality of beat detectors and the at least one section detector. The apparatus further includes a dance controller 117 which alters parameters of the at least one beat detector dependent upon the plurality of outputs from the correlator. The apparatus allows an external source of music, e.g. a music CD, to be used in playing a rhythm action game such as a dance game. |
