Yeah, thanks Trelliz, I will download the demo. I'm not one for emulation but the demo is a cool idea. I just realised that the vids I'd watched on YouTube were mainly at Hard level - which is crazy busy! - so I'm hoping that I could play at pleb level or something
.
Of the 200+ songs I think 149 have an Easy mode (conversely, only a few songs have an Extreme-Extreme mode). Believe me, Easy mode is great - and just about manageable, even for me! You can choose which mode to play them in right from the start (except Hard and Extreme are locked-out until you clear the songs in one of their easier modes). Even playing on Easy will keep unlocking goodies (character costumes and accessories), so don't worry about missing out on stuff. You can even buy the massive unlock key DLC - everything available in one go!
I've rarely played this game, or DIVA X before it, in anything other than Easy or Normal - the guys on YT playing at Extreme leave me speechless. I honestly don't know how they do it - some of them just chattin' along on their streams as they button mash - and they still get 'Perfect' at the end. Incredible.
But don't worry;
this game is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. I really like the way the devs have ensured that anyone, at any level of competency, gets to enjoy the game how they would like. There is a ton of customization (gameplay and controls) and although it lacks the video-maker that came with DIVA X, you can always just opt to watch the videos (create your own playlists and favourites) without even having to play along.
Give the demo a go!
