there's something that should be said more often about "simpler" and "worse" and "outdated" games are sometimes more enjoyable than MORE. with every new generation we see a bigger push for games to have the maximum amount of content and graphics and replay value and hours and blah blah blah and while i'd NEVER go as far as to say the later project diva entries are even remotely comparable to ubisoft bloatware or some shit... i can't help but love how small project diva extend is. the song list is shorter (more intentional, perhaps) and therefore i feel less intimidated wanting to beat every track on every mode. the ui is low-res psp chunkadunk. the master-every-track format makes a little more sense on a psp given you can just whip the game out on the go rather than having to dedicate time to sit down and grind on a ps3/4/pc. the button patterns have to try harder to be interesting by nature of having less screen space and possible inputs. the videos for the songs have a low-poly diorama type of vibe and are much simpler than later entries which i find cute and appealing. i'm happy just watching miku do little dances, i mean c'mon. i also unlocked my favorite costumes and songs early on which colored my opinion positively. i think the psp has A Very Unique Vibe and this game exemplifies it hella goodly.

plus there's a sonic outfit.

GENUIENLY FORGOT THIS EXIST
i miss remember this as the project diva F -_- /
i LOVE this one because there's popipo and the extreme dissepereance of hatsune miku
the song would be my first nemesis on project diva saga back then.
(i failed to perfect it on the extreme >.>)

What am I doing with my life

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Extend was a fairly alright rhythm game. I've had much more fun with games like Muse Dash, but this was fun. I found the difficulty curve from easy to normal to be a bit steep, but that might just be a skill issue.

I give this a 7!
