    Good news! I'm glad they announced it early, too.

    Hmmm. Amazon haven't posted my copy yet, but I think I'll still keep the order. Autumn is a while away. ;)

    Got a 9 here.

    I won't personally have room for it in my gaming schedule over the next while, but will definitely pick it up in the new year.

    Last game I plan on buying this year. If it's as good as the previous entry, I'll be looking for the soundtrack the week after :)

    I don't buy that this a completely computer generated voice. To me it sounds like 2-3 heavily auto-tuned voices mixed together.

    As well as Nagi*Posi Continues, Sadistic Music Factory and Rin-chan Now, that was a song I seriously struggled with -_-

    Well, I was initially a little miffed to have to start on normal difficulty, but it seems a bit closer to hard on Diva f - just with only two inputs. Hopefully hard isn't like the previous game's extreme mode, that was a bit too much for my poor brain.

    Ok, I just played the first song on hard and it isn't too dissimilar to normal, really. Quite a lot of the note chart was the same, too.

    I switched right to easy to get used to the songs - 3 perfects and a ton of 1 SAFE runs, including earning the horrifying title SAFE at Last (break the combo with a SAFE on the very last note -_-)

    Is this anything like Ouendan? I really loved that game.

    I don't believe so.

    That said, there's a demo of the first game if you want to try it out. It has 3 of the tracks from the first game but they aren't in this second game. The gameplay is the same (i.e. all the face buttons, directions and star notes) but:

    It's not at native res (2nd is at native res)
    Doesn't include the new link/twin star notes (new in 2nd)
    Doesn't allow you to use the analog sticks for star notes (you have to swipe the screen)

    It should give you an idea of what to expect at least.

    Jeez. 'This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee' is going to be tough on higher difficulties. I just played it for the first time on normal and just missed clearing it :|

    I haven't found any songs I'm that particularly fond of yet, though.

    I do like that normal is more of a challenge this time - if they're going to force you to play it, at least it's interesting :p

    I think I've only unlocked about a dozen songs so far, but there's nothing I like as much as 'Unhappy Refrain', 'Secret Police', 'Tengaku', 'Melancholic', or even catchier stuff like 'Freely Tomorrow' or 'Weekender Girl'.

    It's still early though, and I'm sure some will grow on me.

    I just did Peace and Happiness on hard and it's not much different to normal, actually.

    Also, I just did Akatsuki Arrival for the first time and I really like that. Can see myself playing that one a lot.

    Yeah, it's a bit odd. Hard doesn't feel as challenging as the last game - yet. Hopefully other songs pick up later, because hard on Diva f was the sweet spot for me.

    Almost had my first perfect, but I fell asleep at the wheel and missed two easy notes D:

    The Intense Voice of Hatsune Miku - yeah, that will be quite the challenge on Normal.

    I'm just thankful that (apparently) it's not like this...

    I certainly noticed that. Bit weird, really.

    Yes, I noticed it. I don't know (or want to know) if that's just the creators focusing on it more in this game...
