All songs cleared on Free mode (didn't even get a trophy!). No chance with the story mode, I'm not doing that unless I'm bored one afternoon and skip through all the text scenes. Actually made me like the P4 soundtrack less. Hard to play as the notes blend in with the background too easily (yellow on yellow is tough, even in motion). Some great mixes but it does feel hit or miss - one of the free DLC songs is probably the worst song I've ever played in a rhythm game and it's a remix of a track I really like! Note charts are pretty universally uninteresting, even though they've got 6 buttons to play with. Story mode is a low-effort over-wordy VN which is still somehow buggy.

If you liked the anime, I'm sure there's plenty for you to like, but as a rhythm game and P4 game fan, this isn't for me. Oh yeah, and it's a real paltry number of songs (25 plus two free DLC which don't even have dances - just video) for a full-price game where the guy who wrote all of them works for the same company.
