Not sure why they got rid of the entire mechanic of sustained note holds from the previous titles/all rhythm games... it's weird!!!! The addition of the touch pad slides is very fun and feedbacky but the multi-button hold mechanic they introduced to make up for the removed single-holds is so unnecessarily visually confusing in its presentation and always trips me up despite the fact that I'm, ahem, GREAT at these games!!!!

Other than that this is peak Project Diva, with an incredible and full tracklist of catchy dance bops and unlistenable frenzied robot squealing in postmodern time signatures--as it should be!!! These are still some of the best made rhythm games on the market.

Also Meiko needs to get her BORING ass retired she is not pulling her weight and is clearly outshined by EVERYONE!!!!!!! Nobody wants another narcoleptic ballad about her feeling sentimental at Christmas or wtf EVER!!!!! An absolute dud. She flopped.
