Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The presentation is fantastic with really crisp attractive hand drawn cartoon graphics that look great.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I have no one to play this with so these were all played with the CPU characters which is a decent experience but none of them are that interesting.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I've never been that good at rhythm games so I'm actually quite impressed I've been able to get nearly all of the perfects with just a few hours of gameplay while enjoying all of it - it never became a chore.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
If you're really good at rhythm games you may find this too easy and quick to complete for the content, but you can always go for the Diamond Perfect which requires not just perfect timing but even tighter timing on all notes.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound often got buried in the music and marching sound effects, which made getting a perfect for this minigame more frustrating than it needed to be.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
If they ever make a multiplayer rhythm game where you play various games together to get further, this should 100% be in it.
