Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X

Overview -

You (probably) know her name. For nearly ten years, Hatsune Miku has brought her vocaloid talents to a mess of platforms. But now, it's time for her PS4 debut in Sega's 'Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X.' The rhythm action game features an all new module unlocking system, the voltage scoring system, and a brand new request mode.

Welcome to the world of 'Project Diva X.'

Video Review

Ranking:

Every single song here has its own unique stage and choreography, all of which has been designed and animated really lovingly. In fact, the only major complaint I have here is that some of the stages are a little too busy, and led to some notes blending in with the background for me, making them harder to see. Still, this is a really lively, pretty game where it counts.

Audio Review

Ranking:

There are just over 30 tracks available, which isn't huge, but it's a surprisingly diverse setlist that ranges from traditional pop, to disco, to sentai theme music. I can count on one hand the amount of tracks I wasn't instantly enamored with, and even outside of my time with the game, the songs here have really stuck with me. The game shines a spotlight on some really talented famous and underground producers, which I absolutely love. Quality absolutely trumps quantity here, and despite a smaller setlist than in previous releases, this might just be my favorite of the bunch.

Final Thoughts

Despite some minor issues, 'Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X' is a lovingly produced, beautiful, and extremely fun rhythm game that stands as possibly the best on both PS4 and Vita so far. For those who haven't experienced the series before, there's no better time to jump in, and for those who have, this is one of the most refined takes on the formula to date.
