Out of all of the Persona dancing games, this one is the second best. The story is just a typical "the main characters can have fun, but lose their memories afterward" type plot, so this game is technically canon, but not in any substantive way. The gameplay is pretty good, with a bunch of good remixes for "Way of Life" or "Time," but a lot of shit ones, like "Light the Fire Up in the Night" and ESPECIALLY "Mass Destruction." Many of the complete original tracks are in this game, too, like "When the Moon's Reaching out Stars" and "Burn My Dread." Mapping is okay, with three buttons and three d-pad directions used for inputs, while the touchpad/shoulder buttons are for the disk spins. The dances are pretty good, too. Overall, Persona 4 Dancing is much better, but if you wanted a bit more fan service from the S.E.E.S cast, this isn't too bad. If you don't like rhythm games, you can skip this one.
