Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd Review (Import) - PSLS

"The track list good, though the new material doesn’t pack the punch that the older stuff does. In all, there are 20 new songs in PDF2, with just as many returning from previous games, including an Extreme version of Levan Polka. Three of the re-releases feature new PVs — my favorite being Sakura no Ame (“Cherry Blossom Rain“). The old PV for Sakura no Ame was quite basic, mostly Miku singing and dancing under a cherry blossom tree with a few outdoor cuts and shots of a school here and there, but that was it. The updated version has much more style and power as Miku walks around in her old high school recording a video. As a school teacher in Japan, the song and video hit home." -PSLS

It's kind of sad but kind of awesome that the best song of the whole series has been used as the tutorial in these last couple.

ftwrthtx3661d ago

The music is always the best part of these games for me.

randomass1713661d ago

Why would you import it when it's confirmed to get a localization?

admiralvic3661d ago

From what I understand, Heath Hindman (Knifefight) lives in Japan, so it's just buying the game at their local store. The reason why they put "import" in the title is because they usually have someone else review the localized version.

randomass1713661d ago

Ah, that makes more sense. Cool! I loved the first Miku game, so I'm sure I'll love the second one, even if it doesn't change too much.

admiralvic3661d ago

@ Randomass171

Technically its the 5th game (not counting HD ports and arcade editions), but it's a fun series that doesn't really change (new elements / minor improvements were made over time though) as it progresses.

knifefight3661d ago

Yeah. It's an American site, so if the product is foreign to the main audience, they require it to be label an import review. Sometimes it's trivial, since with very little (if anything) will change with localization of some games, but it's good to be clear about exactly which version of a game has been played.

TheLastGuardian3661d ago

The english demo sold me on the first one, but I imported it because I wanted a physical copy.

knifefight3661d ago

There are lots of reasons people import.
It all depends on what matters most to you.
In this case, the game is available right now, so it can easily be your handheld fix for the summer, rather than waiting until probably late August or some time in September (release date not yet specified -- it's only "Q3 2014: for EU and NA).

Different people have different priorities and lifestyles, so it all depends on who, what game, and when. :)

RexDD3661d ago

Can't wait! I'm really looking forward to playing the new songs.

TheLastGuardian3661d ago

Just got the platinum in the first one. Such a fun game. It hasn't left my Vita since I started it. Can't wait for F 2nd.

No tearaway or killzone mercenary?

Kallisti2940d ago

Did the Vita ever get a game that looked better than Killzone? That game looked so good for a handheld game.

Darkwatchman2940d ago

Nope. Still most technically impressive vita title ever.

Deadpooled2939d ago

Probably the best fps on a handheld ever, actual effort from the developers Guerilla Cambridge compared to the shoddy devs who did those resistance and cod games.

Blastoise2940d ago

Needs more Soul Sacrifice Delta

Deadpooled2939d ago

I remember the limited edition psvita soul sacrifice versions (red one) which looked stunningly beautiful.

Kal-V32938d ago

I am a proud owner of one and it is awesome.

ONESHOTV22940d ago

for my list it's

Persona 4 Golden
NFS Most Wanted 12
Soul Sacrifice
Dynasty Warriors Next
Muramasa Rebirth
Terraria
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Metal Gear Solid 2
Gravity Rush
Ninja Gaiden Σ Plus

StanleyRoper2940d ago

A totally decent list. I could add A LOT to it. How about the 2 EDF games? EDF 2017 Portable and EDF 2 Invaders From Planet Space?

Skankinruby2940d ago

Killzone mercenary, uncharted golden abyss, gravity rush, and resistance burning skies were my favs. So sad the vita wasn't more successful it had so much potential

Darkwatchman2940d ago

The only one you listed that I consider "best of the system" material is Killzone. Gravity Rush and Uncharted were Eh, but Resistance Burning Skies was decent. I did not like the single player. That portion of the game felt very underdeveloped, but the multiplayer for a time until Killzone came out was probably the best handheld shooter online expeience you could ever have. Tons of dumb fun
