Gameplay
editThe game primarily uses the same gameplay mechanics from the original game albeit with several changes. Most notable of which is that the game now uses the D-pad (arrow buttons) and a "hold and release" function for the face buttons in addition to the normal gameplay. Similar to the symbols of the first game, the game now includes colored arrows for example a blue arrow pointing downwards, this indicates that the player has to press "down" on the D-Pad and the "Cross" face button at the same time. The game also add a fourth difficulty, Extreme, to songs that is more difficult than the hard difficulty in the first game. The game will also introduce duets, as compared to only having solo songs in the first game, thus allowing players to select two modules instead. This also carries on into the Edit Mode of the game allowing players to create PVs for duets with two modules in them.[1][2]
Song list
editA total of 72 songs are available in the game; 52 songs (30 new and 22 old) are obtained normally by playing through the game, while 9 songs are only available through Edit Mode, and 11 songs are downloadable content available from the PlayStation Network.

Dreamy Theater 2nd
editSimilar to Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA, a companion game for the PlayStation 3, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Dreamy Theater 2nd, was released digitally via the Japanese PlayStation Store on August 4, 2011. Like its predecessor, the game features updated high-definition visual improvements over its respective PSP game while featuring the same content and PlayStation Trophies support, and requires the player to connect the PSP (with Project DIVA 2nd) to the PS3 via USB to access the content in the game. Notable differences from the first game are that the player need only connect their PSP system once to transfer a save file rather than having it constantly connected via USB cable, as well as the addition of stereoscopic 3D for compatible TVs. Once the game has been unlocked by transferring a save file, all unlocked content from the player's PSP system will be available to play along with the songs from the first game as an added bonus.[3]
