Fans of catchy music, arcade-based rhythm gameplay, or even good games should give Project DIVA X a go. This is one of those titles that will stick with you, in more ways than one. After all, how can you resist the siren call of a VOCALOID?

Your enjoyment of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X depends on a few things. If you're looking for a great rhythm game for the PS4, this is it. It has been a while since we've seen a rhythm game that doesn't need peripherals, and this title is loads of fun, especially if you're into the music. If you're a Miku fan, this is still fine if you can live with the absence of modes from prior games. For those players, they might want to look into importing Future Tone instead if they can't wait any longer to see whether Sega releases that one stateside.

It is such a shame to have to say this about a Hatsune Miku game, because there has been little to fault in previous entries, but Project Diva X is a shocking let-down on many levels. The biggest disappointment is not just how few songs there are, but just how boring they are musically and video-wise. The predicament is that the chances of localising what looks to be one of the most superior titles in the series in Project Diva Future Tone may rest upon sales of Project Diva X—a game that is starved of quality content and introduces ideas that are no improvement on the previously-sound format. Fingers crossed the lengthy localisation process for Future Tone is underway, because it's the game Hatsune Miku fans need after this limp performance.

This is one of those moments where style outweighs content. While there's not a whole lot of variety, the game shines on its positives. Even for the people that have no idea who Hatsune Miku is or what Vocaloid even means, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X is definitely worth a play. It certainly converted me.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X boasts a nice graphical upgrade, some good tracks, and the same solid gameplay as previous games, but some awkward changes in progression cause it to stumble in its overall execution.

While Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X isn’t as brilliant as Future Tone, nothing is, and the core rhythm game action is faultless. An inspiring, entertaining soundtrack, coupled with stunning characters, costumes, and choreography makes this essential. Not just for Miku fans, but for anyone who enjoys fun. And you enjoy fun, right?

Despite some minor issues, 'Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X' is a lovingly produced, beautiful, and extremely fun rhythm game that stands as possibly the best on both PS4 and Vita so far. For those who haven't experienced the series before, there's no better time to jump in, and for those who have, this is one of the most refined takes on the formula to date.

As I’ve said in the past, if you’re a rhythm game fan, you’d be doing yourself a great disservice in passing this game up. While it’s not the best entry I’ve played in the series, it’s a very solid release nonetheless.

It's a blast to play, of that there's no doubt, but the lack of song content is a real sticking point; Sega managed to get almost everything else right with Project DIVA X, but this key missing component seriously hampers my enthusiasm for the game.

A solid entry in the series, but takes several steps back that are bound to alienate long-term fans of the series, and quickly put off anyone who isn't already a devout Miku convert.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X is certainly not for everyone. Those that cannot stand the idol culture in Japan probably won’t find much enjoyment out of this, even if they are a fan of rhythm games. However, those that greatly enjoy rhythm games, and can look past the cutesy nature of what’s there (or those that are truly in to that culture) will find a very enjoyable game here. And if you walk in to this with an open mind and an open heart, you may just find yourself falling in love with what Hatsune Miku has to offer.

Project Diva X is another great entry in the franchise where it’s easy to pick up and play but harder difficulties will certainly test your limits. It’s a fun and cutesy experience that’s just full of energy.
