Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, it’s Hatsune Miku Project Diva F 2nd time, YAY! We told you the vocaloid diva was making her way to PlayStation 3 and PS Vita well now is the time to shake your groove thang. No matter what console you have you’ll be letting your fingers do the talking to the catchy beats while you listen and read along, the game now has English subtitles unlike the previous Japan only release.
That means Hatsune Miku Project DIVA F 2nd can possibly teach you how to read, yes you, learn how to read with a wide eyed blue haired mega star, can you think of a better way? No, the answer is no, there is no better way than learning to read along with Hatsune Miku… I take that back, she’s tied with LeVar Burton of Reading Rainbow fame, together they could form the greatest reading franchise on earth!
Hatsune Miku DIVA F 2nd also brings with it DLC, because what rhythm game is complete without a crap ton of add-ons. Instead of a Season Pass Hatsune Miku DIVA F 2nd has both a Song Club and a Costume Club which gives you a 25% discount over purchasing the items separately. SEGA has put their full publishing capacity behind this game as the Song Club will feature 10 additional songs while the Costume Club will feature more than 45 additional outfits, a girl loves her clothes, even a virtual girl. While you do have to buy the game separately on each console at least the game is Cross-Save compatible and the bottom of the DLC page says “Purchasing this content entitles you to both the PS3™ and “PS Vita” versions!” so it should work with both versions of the game and you save some dough there.
