There's a revolutionary crossover happening at the intersection of music and gaming that's grabbing the attention of casual game players and musicians alike. Piano Fire is an superbly gorgeous and balanced rendering of such a mixture: it is an eclectic and rewarding experience.

As soon as you kick things off, you're welcomed with a slick and easy-to-navigate UI which will encourage you to dive into the world of E.D.M. in pianistic form. This is a game designed by people who know what a good time is. This is not about hitting the right note, it's not about playing the right chord, it's about feeling the beat, letting the rhythm move through you from your head down to your toes, through your hands and then, finally through your fingers.

Perhaps the coolest thing that Piano Fire has going for it is its huge list of tracks. There's something for every taste, whether you love the newest EDM hits, or you grew up on the old-school classics. Every track is strategically created to be as fun and challenging as possibly and it’s easy to learn and even easier to get hooked. The difficultly levels are well thought out for beginners just starting out on their musical journey and for the seasoned player that is looking for a real test.

The in-game mechanics of the game are slick, offering excellent control and a feeling of satisfaction when you hit those few notes the others seemed slow to pick up. It’s rather an eye-candy game with animated, colorful graphics that match the music. It’s not a game so much as it is an audiovisual playground that places you in the moment.

Piano Fire also works as a teaching music. This game is a great starting point for anyone who has ever wanted to know how to play the piano. It breaks complex songs into bite sized pieced and teaches you the rudiments of rhythm, timing and where your fingers are supposed to be. The more you play, the better you become not only at playing video games, but also at learning how to play the piano.

All in all, Piano Fire is a gem in music gaming. This is a entertaining and educational game that merges fun of gaming with beauty of music.
