Typically rhythm games rely on timed input according to on screen cues and tempo. Mad Maestro features this style of gameplay, with the additional layer of pressure sensitivity. Utilizing the pressure sensitivity with the dualshock 2, the player must conduct an orchestra by tapping correlating buttons with varying degrees of pressure. There are three levels of pressure; light, medium and hard. The Japanese release featured an optional Baton peripheral.
The use of pressure sensitivity in addition to standard rhythm game play mechanics was considered by some to be overly complicated.
