Outside of the new aesthetic upgrades, Miku Flick /02 plays exactly like its predecessor. Lyrics scroll across the screen and you have to flick or tap on the correct hiragana character as it's highlighted. The gameplay is quite accessible to those with experience in rhythm games while being simple enough for newcomers to pick up without too much effort. The graphics and audio for Miku Flick /02 are both top notch and rank among the best for a mobile rhythm game. With stages and outfits familiar to those who have played any games from the Project DIVA series, the game looks and sounds simply fantastic. Sadly, Miku Flick /02’s controls don't measure up to its graphic or musical presentation. Similar to the control bugs that plagued the original Miku Flick, Miku Flick /02 has an issue with not registering taps or swipes correctly (or at all). Sega identified this issue as a 'slowdown' in the original game and patched it quickly, so hopefully it'll do the same for Miku Flick /02. The only other mark against Miku Flick /02 is the scarcity of content in the the game itself. With a total of ten songs to choose from, enthusiastic players can unlock every song the game has to offer in an afternoon.Īlthough there are additional challenge modes, this small selection of songs seems a bit miserly given the price of the app itself. It seems to include 178 songs, which is the original's Mega mix songlist (101) + all dlc songs (77).

While cheaper than its predecessor, there's no dancing around the fact that Miku Flick /02 is expensive for what it delivers. That's great news There is a DLC pack on offer however which adds another 72 songs to the game, it all adds up to a total of 250 songs. So yeah, it's unfortunate that the game drops with day 1 dlc but it could be worse. Still, it's a nearly pitch-perfect rhythm game that would have easily scored a Silver or Gold Award if it provided a few more songs to play through and ironed out the issues with its controls. If you're a fan of Vocaloid or rhythm games, you'd be a fool not to make some space on your iPhone or iPad for Miku Flick/02.
