Technically decent modernization of the series that has barely changed its shoot 'em up core after more than a decade.
+ a lot of spaceship customization to modify gameplay a little
+ quick music import supporting many sources
+ unique library organization feature sorting music in a virtual universe (which is tedious to navigate, unfortunately)
+ visually more bombastic than ever (with options to turn the intensity down)
- confusingly designed menus
- little diversity or innovation in-game
- music choice still has almost zero practical influence on gameplay

It's a fantastic rhythm game. It's similar to Beat Hazard 2 but different enough to provide a fresh experience. Each song you play will generate a unique level and reward you with a ship that's unique to that song. The weapon upgrade system introduced in this game allows a lot of customization for the different aspects of each weapon, letting people test out custom builds to see what's right for them. This game successfully improves on the two original games in the Beat Hazard series to deliver a similar but very unique experience.
