Music games are great. We don’t get enough localizations of these button-tapping delights, and that’s a shame. Fortunately, they’re the sorts of titles that are easy to import with barely any language barrier. Uta no Prince-sama: Music 3 is one of those games. It’s good, for what it is. This is basically a budget music game with 33 songs you’ve never heard with multiple degrees of difficulty for each one. Accept that, and you’ll have no trouble accepting it.
There are many different kinds of otome games on the market. The most prevalent sort fall into the visual novel genre. People go through a story, pick certain choices or dialogue responses at major moments, then end up on a path for a specific character. Sometimes, people get ones that are RPGs, like Angelique, or simulations, like Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side. However, there is one route people can take to get into otome games that is rather welcoming, eases them into the genre and offers an alternate sort of gameplay that can be enjoyed even if someone doesn't dig the romantic elements. Rhythm games with otome elements can be a great way to ease into the genre.
Know what’s great? When you import a game, pop it in your system of choice and find gratuitous English. Something like that can really make your day. Especially when the title in question happens to be Uta no Prince-sama: Music 3, an already easy-to-adjust-to music game!
