Today, I finally got to play Miku's game and here's a little overview on it. Well, if you're a seemingly normal human being who recently found an obsession to a green-haired virtual singing sensation known as Hatsune Miku, this game is totally for you. :D Aside from containing an almost uncountable number of times you get to see Miku in this game (loading screens, songs, everywhere!), this game is Miku moeness at its best.
You are given a few songs like World is Mine, The Secret Garden and Koisuru Voc@loid and you'd have to clear them to unlock new songs of usually from the same artist, i.e. finishing The Secret Garden unlocks dear cocoa girls. You are given 2 difficulties at first, easy and normal. Depending on the difficulty and the song, sometimes it only lets you press only one button type for the entire play. The game also gives you only Miku's original costume at the beginning, you'll have to unlock costumes by achieving requirements like Finishing a certain song on normal or great level and finishing the song like 5 times. Anyway, that's basically it along with a lot of Miku dancing while you play and nonstop Miku songs.
Anyway, going to the gameplay now. Basically, the gameplay is simple, wait for the right moment and then press the corresponding button. Anyway, to clearly explain, watch this video of The Secret Garden gameplay first.
Well, if you looked closely at the buttons, there's like a clock hand in them, it's actually a timer that signals you if you need to press it already to get a cool, the combo breaks easily in this, a safe move destroys your chain immediately. And it's a good mix from different games of the same genre, sometimes, headache if the buttons intersect each other like from one song in normal mode which I can't seem to get right even with some tries already. You'll get an idea if the song is about to be finished, a special chance appears that greatly boosts your points, keeping a chain in this session will surely give you tons of points enough to clear the song. :D
Once you survived the song, you'll see the result based from Miku's actions, if she's acting shy, it means you get rank "cheap" which doesn't count the song as cleared, only standard, great and perfect allows you to receive a clear record. Achieving great unlocks extras as well. Perfect is obtained by not having any chain break, meaning no safe, sad or worst. Hard mode of each song is unlocked by clearing it in normal difficulty with a great or perfect rank.
Though Kaito, Meiko, Neru, Haku, Rin, Len and Luka are in, don't expect much, they're just skins for Miku, much like how Star Wars The Force Unleashed lets you take the skin of characters like Obiwan but still reprises powers, movements and actions of Starkiller. The same applies here, switching to Kaito doesn't let him have his own dance and doesn't switch the singing voice to his, everything, his actions, voice are still Miku, so don't get your hopes up too much. Although the game features a song in Rin and Len versions but seriously, Len scared the crap out of me seeing him dance exactly the same as Miku even if it was his singing voice.
Anyway, this is a really casual game not to mention a lot of Miku moeness for me and Mikutards alike. Well, I can't wait to play another round. Hehehe.
