In many ways, it's more of the same as 6, but that's certainly not a bad thing. The orbs are still great, there are tons of cool minigames, and the boards are some of the best in the series, with fantastic visual designs and excellent mechanics. I'm not the biggest fan of the character-specific items, the duel system isn't nearly as good as 6, and the new mic mechanics kinda suck, but otherwise this is another really solid entry!
