    Way too frantic and nearly impossible to hit the correct direction on the analog sticks.
    There's a few decent tracks which lift the score up a little but I can't see how anyone other that a coked-up octopus would get enjoyment from the gameplay.
    Hatsune Miku looks and plays a lot better than this, despite the low song count. Loads times, disk space requirements and GUI all poor - avoid    Way too frantic and nearly impossible to hit the correct direction on the analog sticks.

    Ahhh... Yeah, it is a beautiful rhythm game, but... If you want something like DJMAX, keep playing it on PSP because this is not DJMAX, or nothing like that. No BGA (after a couple hours playing this, the generic BGA caused me a headache EVERY SINGLE TIME without any option to turn it off), no keysound, no online play... But it has a cool tracklist. I Iiked every song, well, except one,Ahhh... Yeah, it is a beautiful rhythm game, but... If you want something like DJMAX, keep playing it on PSP because this is not DJMAX, or nothing like that.

I Iiked every song, well, except one, but everything else was neat. Even the system music is very exquisite. Though it's not DJMAX, the gameplay is pretty fresh in the world of rhythm games of today. It is a game worthy of you if you like the genre.

    A must-have game for your lovely handheld aside all the bad things.    … Expand

    Early frustrations aside, it's compulsive experience that plays heavily to PS Vita's strengths in both the core gameplay and its structure. [Jan 2016, p.93]

    Unabashedly hardcore, Superbeat demands patience, commitment and fast fingers. If you have at least most of those qualities, give it a go - you might find a new obsession on Vita. [Issue#265, p.80]
