Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd - PlayStation Vita

Let me first say, that I'm very glad Sega released a physical copy of this game. Seeing as after playing it, I'm kind of disappointed I can't buy a physical version of Project Diva f. Let me also say, that I severely underestimated how fun PD f2nd is. I'm not very good at rhythm games so I continuously passed on getting it. I decided to give f2nd a chance and I was hooked. I started a new job working 3-11pm so I rarely have time to dedicate to video games. So I've been using handhelds as of late. And for pick-up-and-play ability PD f2nd has got it in spades. The ability to play any song of the fly with headphones at work gave me something to do at short bursts throughout my breaks. And the unlockable extra content made me want to jump to the next song immediately. The extra content being: Unlockable costumes, unlockable UI skins (when loading) -Note: When you unlock these UI skins you can use the screenshot function to save them to the Vita and use them as wallpapers. (VERY COOL) Then there's unlockable furniture, gadgets, and decor for your virtual Miku (and characters) in the Diva room.These unlockables you get by completing songs. When they are unlocked you can buy the content using DP (Diva points) you also get from completing songs. As far as the things I've listed. There's the AR card. Which you can use to create a virtual concert in your living room. Which made me laugh seeing Miku dance around from my living room into my kitchen. Other than that, I haven't gotten too far in the game, and the stuff I've experienced isn't even the tip of the iceberg considering I haven't used all the features. Very great game, and tons of replay value seeing as the music is amazing with 4 different difficulty levels. And let me tell you, this game gets really hard as you progress. So prepare those thumbs for some pain.

I'm not going to lie, this is without a doubt the most addicting game I've ever played. And I've been addicted to many handheld console games for years. I'm almost regretting buying it (not really, but alllmost almost) because I can't put the thing down. It's only been three days but it's entirely ruining my sleep schedule and I can't stop yawning at work. Thank goodness for coffee!Still, overall, no regrets. This game is one of the best I've ever played, partially because I love music, rhythm games, and vocaloids. And this is all that and more. I'm glad I finally saved up the money to purchase the vita. My favorite aspects of this game have to be the modules -the vocaloids' many and I mean MANY varied outfits- and the diverse range of song titles. I spent $50 on the DLC for additional outfits and songs and it has been entirely worth it. But even if you don't spend a penny on DLC, the modules you can purchase with in-game currency (Diva points) that you earn while playing songs are all fantastic.Let me just say one thing, though - this game is freakin' difficult. I've played 100+ hours of Theaterrhythm and so when I got this game I assumed it would be a breeze even though I've never played the first one. Holy waffles was I wrong! The mechanics are completely different and far more complex, especially at the higher difficulties. It's not frustratingly difficult, but enough so to keep me constantly immersed in the game.

case was not included just comes in generic cd case. works perfect though so it's not a big deal.

...don't fix it, and fortunately, Sega has continued a winning formula with the 2nd installment of Project Diva F. Chances are, if you're thinking about buying this game, you know what to expect, but after putting in a few hours day one with the game, here are some observations.The core gameplay is intact from the first Project Diva F with just a few modifications. New features include the addition of "double stars" (which require the tapping of both directional sticks to clear) and "linked stars", where a single star target moves along a path, and the target must be hit at several points along the path.Other minor tweaks to the game include small changes in the Diva room (the head-petting game is still there with a few small modifications; the characters seem to get annoyed somewhat more easily this time around). There are also more items to buy in the shop, such as skins to customize the look of the game.If you've tracked down an import copy of Project Diva 2nd for the PSP, many of the songs which are unlockable early in the game will be familiar, including "Melt", "Packaged", and "Clover Club". I really like all of those songs, so that is a plus, but there are a number of other songs on the setlist which are recycled from earlier Project Diva installments. If this really bothers you, then you should probably deduct one star from the game's rating.One major change from the first Project Diva F game is the difficulty levels. The overall difficulty of the "Easy" and "Normal" levels seems significantly ramped up from the previous games. I'd say a 4-star difficulty song in normal mode this time around would be equivalent to a 5 or 6 star song in hard mode in the previous game. For instance, there are some weird button sequences that show up in normal mode that wouldn't have appeared until the hard difficulty level in the previous game. Interestingly, hard mode seemed pretty similar to the previous game. Extreme mode seems all over the place. I was able to clear "Melt" on extreme mode (7.5 stars) on the first try with no real difficulty, but Levan Polka (9 stars) in extreme mode was blisteringly hard!As with the previous game in the series, there is no shortage of content with plenty of songs to unlock, and a plethora of modules, gadgets, and skins to collect. Also, if you have save data from the first game you can import it; diva points won't carry over, but items/modules unlocked in the first game will carry over.In addition, you can now use multiple assist/challenge options during a song. Some of the familiar options return (continue once if song energy hits zero, eliminate double targets, etc.), but there are some new challenge items to keep even the most veteran players coming back. For example, you can choose to make all of the notes "nano-sized" (which is more challenging than it sounds!), speed up the notes, or have the notes to come from random directions. Stack a couple of those and you could make for some extreme challenges!I'd say if you are new to the series, you might consider picking up the first Project Diva F first, but if you've already played that game, then there is no reason not to have its sequel in your game library. Now it's time to quit writing and get back to the game!

Excellent game. Fun to play for hours

Perfette condizioni, nuovo ad un prezzo conveniente, ps3 project diva 2nd

Es un juego bastante adictivo y entretenido con una gran variedad y calidad de canciones, es uno de los mejores juegos de su genero, recomendado totalmente, difícil de encontrar hoy en día y a buen precio

This is a sequel to 2013's Project Diva F. The rhythm game is mostly unchanged from PDF1, it's still super colorful and demands every ounce of your attention. The game is tough but rewards practice, and anyone with average reflexes should be able to improve enough to get a good amount of gameplay. "Extreme" difficulty mode will still be beyond most people's reach though.If you are unfamiliar with Vocaloid culture, it evolved from a software package that synthesized a human singing voice, allowing songwriters to write and record songs without the need for vocal talent. The anime-style mascots for the various "voice banks" gained a cult following, and are now considered stars in their own right in Japan. The music is essentially crowdsourced; songwriters post their creations online, and the most popular get licensed for CDs, concerts, and video games. This meritocracy ensures that the music is fresh and varied.The song list for this game is a solid collection of 40 old and new Vocaloid hits. The majority feature Hatsune Miku on vocals, but fans of Luka will be pleased to know she has four solo songs in this game, that's twice as many as last time! Each song has an cute and elaborate video that plays in the background, and will no doubt distract you.There are more songs on the way via paid DLC, which I have mixed feelings about, as they could have easily packaged these with the game. However, there's still more content before DLC in this game than PDF1, so I'll let it slide.They've made the system for unlocking items, such as costumes, accessories and gifts, more interesting. Each song has a list of challenges, for example "complete this song 5 times" or "score a cumulative 393 note combo". Completing a challenge unlocks one item in the store, and reveals more challenges. This is a good way of providing an incentive for playing after all the songs have been unlocked. Completing all the challenges and collecting all the "titles" will probably take the average person 100s of hours.Highly recommended for anyone interested in rhythm games, Vocaloids or J-pop.

Very enjoyable game!! Perfect for vocaloid fans or even rhythm fans looking for something different!!! :)
