Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA (初音ミク -Project DIVA-) is a rhythm game created by Sega and Crypton Future Media for the PlayStation Portable featuring the virtual-diva vocaloid Hatsune Miku.
Overview
Gameplay
The gameplay is based on pressing buttons on the controller when floating gray button icons appear on top of the colored button icons. Accuracy is described with a word displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen, ranging from "cool" to "worst". The game is scored on accuracy and the player is awarded with a rank ranging from "Perfect" to "Mistake" (denoted by MissXTake).
Additional Features
Project DIVA allows the players to choose from a wide array of characters including Miku in different costumes in which most notable are her cameo-costumes of the videogames Valkyria Chronicles and Space Channel 5.[1] Also, 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 and could even include gameplay. Further customization allows players to change dance moves from stylish diva to ero suggestive.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Dreamy Theater
PSP-to-PS3 Connectivity
Sega released a downloadable software for the PlayStation 3 which enables the players to play the PSP game through a PS3 console. It can be downloaded via PlayStation Store and was released on July 24, 2010. The software is called Dreamy Theater.[2] In Dreamy Theater mode, gameplay is not changed nor modified but the graphics displayed by the PS3 console on the television are greatly enhanced into HDTV; the graphics are on par with a PS3 game. For the connectivity to work, the player must have a PSP (with the game in it) connected via USB to a PS3 with the software installed.[3]
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA 2nd
Project DIVA 2nd is the follow up game to Project DIVA, and contains brand new features, as well as returning features from the first game.

Mode(s) | Single-player |
Gameplay
Sega updated the gameplay of the first Project DIVA in which, it now makes use of the D-pad (arrow buttons) and a "hold and release" function for the face buttons.[4] A new song difficulty called "EXTREME" was also added. While the edit feature remains, it is enhanced where the player is now able to edit songs/gameplay in real-time and could also configure motions of two vocaloids on-screen at the same time.
Additional Features
The game features all of the Vocaloids from the first game. However, brand new module outfits have been added, and various costumes from the first game return as well. For instance, this brings Miku's module outfit total to 53 different outfits, not counting DLC modules. Additionally, brand new modules for every other character have been added, including Kagamine Rin's Resonance of Fate outfit (known as End of Eternity in Japan, hence the EoE in the module's title) and Megurine Luka's Virtua Fighter outfit. Project DIVA 2nd also features a new mode called DIVA Room where you can interact with the Vocaloids, similar to a sim game, and you can give them items, decorate their room, or have them interact with other Vocaloids.
Song List
Due to the return of several songs from the first game, the song total in this game is now 46.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade
Sega developed a port of the first Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA game for the arcade machines which is titled, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade (初音ミク Project DIVA Arcade). The game features Miku and her songs which also include songs contributed by the fans/players altogether with upgraded and enhanced graphics. The website Piapro even held an event/contest for artists to submit their own created Vocaloid songs as well as illustrations for the game.[6][7] Tripshots designed the machine which will include four buttons which has the same gameplay as its predecessor on the PSP.[6]
Gameplay
The game plays almost exactly the same as the PSP versions of Project DIVA, with some differences. The signature Playstation buttons are now the 4 large buttons on the machine's panel, in order to play the game. The arcade version features both songs from Project DIVA and Project DIVA 2nd, along with a variety of original songs not included in either of the handheld versions. The game's PVs have been slightly modified for the arcade machine's HD display. Players have the ability to choose from a reel of songs and select their difficluty before playing a song, similar to a Dance Dance Revolution arcade game. The four difficulties are Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extreme, as seen in Project DIVA 2nd.
IC Card Function & Diva.Net
This arcade game utilizes an IC card function. Players can select to obtain a Project DIVA Arcade Access Card from any machine. This card will open more functions for use in Project DIVA Arcade, many of those functions resembling features in the handheld games. With an Access Card, players will be able to save and load arcade data, select module outfits for use in the game, select a player name, and more. Vocaloid Points (VP) can also be accumulated through successful plays. VP can be used for gaining features, like modules, or changing your player name. Access Card holders can also participate in trials, similar to the console versions of Dance Dance Revolution. In these three-tier trials, named "Clear Trial", "Great Clear Trial", and "Perfect Clear Trial" by difficulty, the player must bet a certain amount of VP. If you pass a trial, you get to keep your VP, and receive the amount you bet. If the trial is lost, the amount of VP bet is deducted from your total. Clearing "Perfect Clear Trial" will also net you a large sum of VP.
Also, during Access Card creation, you will be asked to create a username and password. This will be registered on the internet and allows an Access Card holder to gain access to the Project DIVA Arcade Diva.Net. Here, an Access Card holder can edit data and perform many and more of the functions that a Project DIVA Arcade machine can do. However, an Access Card holder must first accumulate 10 non-concecutive plays on any Project DIVA Arcade machine with an internet connection before they can use many of Diva.Net's functions. Once 10 plays are accumulated, the Access Card holder will gain 30-day access to all of DivaNet's functions. Access to Diva.Net can only be performed this way, and you gain another 30 days of access every 10 plays. This "access" is known as a Diva.Net Right. Upon first play, a Card holder can automatically obtain a Diva.Net Right once. Losing your Right does not affect your data, but you are unable to change it through Diva.Net until another Right is obtained.
