What players say
76% of 380 reviews are positive
Players praise the soundtrack, particularly its electronic and rock selections. Complaints include steep difficulty jumps, visual clutter that obscures cues, and timing that seems disconnected from the music. Players also criticize the custom-music tools for requiring manual beat setup while allowing limited control over note patterns.
