    I love this game so much. Got it with the endless night collection that also included 4 and 5 dancing. Im not a rhythm game guy but these are fun as hell and it's awesome to see the old guys with up to date graphics and just talking to them again.

    Enjoyable, it is very familiar if you played P4D, and as a rhythm game is as solid as can be with a great soundtrack. The lack of a story though is mostly noticeable because of how unexpectedly good the P4 dancing and fighting game stories were for 'side' projects.

    Really nice to see the cast of p3 again in a brand new graphics engine. Really enjoyable soundtrack and character interactions and recommended for anyone who enjoyed persona 3

    A lot of fun for fans of Persona 3. A shame that someone is review bombing every smt and persona related game.

    A great game for Persona 3 fans that would like to see old favourite characters resurrected with new beautiful models. The game may not have a great story, but the soundtrack is climatic and the game play have soo many difficulty levels, that not only rhythm game veterans can enjoy it, but also kids.

    As a huge fan of the series who greatly enjoyed this game, it doesn't deserve over a 7 or 8, truthfully. It oddly plays more clunky than Persona 4: Dancing All Night, has a lack of a story mode and remarkably less tracks than it's predecessor. I wouldn't recommend this game unless you're looking for extreme nostalgia to Persona 3, or really enjoy rhythm games.

    It´s amazing. I recommend for every fan of the Persona Series. Amazing soundtrack, good gameplay and funny interactions between the characters. Grab it in a promotion if you think the price is too high. The endless collection is in a lot of promotions on PSN.

    Pretty good rhythm game. The song selection is pretty good and it's definitely better than Persona 5 Dancing.

    Great to see these characters return in HD, with a great soundtrack. Really fun game for anyone who's a fan of the third entry.

    Putting aside the fact that I find it incredibly weird that Dancing in Moonlight and Dancing in Starlight are being sold as two separate, full-priced games (they’re too similar in concept and execution for it to make sense) it’s neat fanservice for those who wish to spend more time with the Tartarus SEES and Phantom Thieves crew. Ultimately, though, I wish that the devs had tried just a little harder to carve out a new and exciting rhythm game, rather than something that fits squarely into established genre norms and coasts by on the charm of its characters.

    Despite the gameplay not being the best, the game is charming enough with its music and music videos to still be a fun time.

    Those who simply love music rhythm games and haven’t got much experience with the Persona series, though, should probably just dip their toes in with Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight to test the water. And maybe wait for it to go on sale before they do so. Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are both very good, but they don’t quite feel like they’re worth their asking price.
