Oh no master copies here, the EU is only getting a digital release, so I hope you still got some gigabytes left on your PS3 for this one.DrRockor said:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid And this is what Miku and the other Vocaloids do, put a vocalist in the hands of ordinary consumers, which is the impressive thing, all the songs featured in the game are fan made, it's basically all user generated content. So I think that's where the fandom lies, knowing that all the songs are by fans, for fans. And that without them this game wouldn't ever have even existed.RandV80 said:
Got to play this at Comic Con for a few hours, it's seriously fun. Soon as I save up enough for a PS3, this is definitely top of the list of games I'm getting.
...okay, second in the list behind Arcana Heart 3, but still.
And yes, the music is absolutely worth it.

It is pretty difficult. Even the lower-difficulty songs give one's peripheral vision a workout, since there's a lot of stuff to pay attention to.major_chaos said:

Personally, I've never gotten into the Vocaloid craze, buuut I do see the appeal, and Miku's voice is oddly catchy despite its... oddity. Plus, she's kinda cute.
I don't see myself rushing to pick this up, but it sounds like there's a lot of people that are excited about this game. Besides, we could use something that doesn't involve a gun for once.

WARNING: If you enjoy rhythm games and cute songs, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE DEMO FOR THIS GAME. YOU WILL BUY IT IMMEDIATELY.
All it took was figuring out the controls and playing through the song Tengaku for me to order a copy from Amazon. Now I can't wait to get it! Here's hoping they release it on the Vita as well!

Game looks pretty solid, hope it sells well so we can see more. I don't has a PS3 but will be getting a PS4 so hopefully it gets some vocaloid games too. I like how together the game looks, most music games I've tried tend to be a bit lacking or awkward.
On a side note if anyone knows of an amazing rhythm game please feel free to tell me about it

Eh, I've heard Vocaloid songs in genres like metal, (Japanese) folk rock, jazz, big band, and various other genres besides the usual sugary sweet happy J-pop stuff.kenu12345 said:
If you still have a DS or 3DS laying around, you could always get Elite Beat Agents or its wacky Japanese predecessors, Tatakae! Ouendan! 1 & 2 (providing you've a DS Lite or older, seeing how the 3DS is region locked), but gameplay wise they're the key inspiration for the Miku games as they basically adapted the Ouendan/EBA gameplay to work without a touchscreen... only to then make touch controls a side feature in the Vita game.RevRaptor said:Game looks pretty solid, hope it sells well so we can see more.

The thing to remember about Vocaloid is that it is only a synthesizer for producing vocals. What those vocals are used for is entirely up to the user. There are many tens of thousands (40k-50k maybe) of original songs created using vocaloids, in all possible genres. The only limit is your imagination and your tuning skills.Pedro The Hutt said:
