This is not an official review or whatsoever, this is just mainly my thinking about the game : Project Diva.
Project Diva scores :
Gameplay : 9/10
Graphics : 10/10
Sound and Song choice : 8/10
Customization : 10/10
Overall rating : 9.25/10
The vocaloids finally found their way, through SEGA, into our handheld devices, PSP. In Project Diva, Miku, Luka, Rin, Len and fanmade vocaloids all come alive dancing on your screen. Well at least, without the notes it'll be just the MV.
Project Diva scores in gameplay. The gameplay is someone similar to DS's Elite Beat Agents, whereby you wait for the circle to close in before hitting it with the stylus. PD however, uses the 4 buttons, Triangle , Circle, Square and X to utilize this. The graphics were pretty decent, and the gameplay really put me in a tight spot for a moment.
Me playing Levan Polka, I MISSED cause of the lag caused by taking a screenshot.
Trust me, a GREAT is not easy to get.
The game is a little choppy on note spamming parts, but it did not really hinder the gameplay. The characters are all really cute, besides this there are also over 200 or 300++ fan art of Hatsune Miku in the game itself. Oh, did I mention you don't get combos until you hit something like a "perfect" ? Yeah now I did. Another thing that contradicts this game will be.. on some occasions in-game the bright lights in the background make it difficult to see the notes, followed by massive shaking of the cameras which make your head go @_@ for awhile.
Songwise, I've heard some titles myself like Soar, Miku Miku Shitageru, Levan Polka, Dead End and Electric Angel. The selection is somewhat limited but still it's roughly a little lesser then DJmax.
One additional thing that caught my eye is the Customize menu. Really, I mean
CUSTOMIZE. You can put a .mp3 format song into your PSP/MUSIC folder and it'll appear in the customize menu. You then can add which Vocaloid you want for the PV, add the actions, like dancing, expressions and stuff, and to finish it off with the note charts. I did not fully abuse this yet cause for one thing, I don't understand Japanese.
Lastly, there is the room edit function. Basically this for those simulation lovers. Decorate your vocaloids' homes, add stuff and see them interact with it. Awesomely cute.
Luka's taking a nap :3 Thats it for my review. A good game, for those in for a little challenge.
