## Gameplay and Features

An animated PV plays as players try to time their button presses with the colorful shaped icons moving across the screen. The game's most highly praised feature, Edit Mode, allows the players to create a customized music video of their desired song saved on their PSP that could even include gameplay.

The game's playlist consists of popular songs by known Producers and also fan illustrations as loading screens.

* All songs with the Pink tag are produced by ryo/supercell.
* All songs with the Blue tag are produced by kz/livetune.
* All songs with the Orange tag are produced by OSTER project.
* All songs with the Yellow tag are produced by Travolta-P, Hadano-P, iroha (sasaki), and Hayaya-P.
* All songs with the Sky Blue tag are produced by Kosaki Satoru, Namiki Koichi, and halyosy.
* All songs with the White tag are produced by OSTER project, Otomania, azuma, Yasuo-P, CosMo, Deadball-P, and ika.

Every song has three difficulty modes; Easy, Normal, and Hard. The specific difficultness is ranked by stars. The higher amount of stars a song has, the harder the song. Easy songs have one to three stars, Normal songs have two to four stars, and Hard songs have three to five stars. Only two songs break this formula; "Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu" is seven stars on Hard, and "Requiem for the Phantasma" is four stars on Easy, five stars on Normal, and six stars on Hard.

## Modules

## DLC

The Project Diva DLC are special add-ons to the original game. To date, there are a total of 2 DLC packs released, one featuring songs sung by Hatsune Miku, while the other featuring songs sung by Kagamine Len and Rin, as well as Megurine Luka. There's also an add-on called Dreamy Theater that allows you to play the original game on the PS3 with better graphics.

To get it, you will first need a PSP with Project Diva in it, as well as a memory stick. You must also have a Japanese PSN Store account. (There are enough tutorials on the internet how to make a Japanese PSN Account even when you don't live in Japan.)

With these present, you can now download the content, but you will need a credit card or Japanese PSN Cards (available f.e. on ebay) to make this online purchase.

Please take note that it is only available in the Japanese PSN store, and PSN stores in other regions do not offer this DLC, as it is strictly a Japan-only game.

All DLC are compatible with Dreamy Theater PS3.
