A worthy sequel that impresses in every category fans feared it might fail, romping through Shibuya with fresh beats and a lovable cast that stands tall on its own. The pin-driven real-time combat makes a successful leap to 3D and stays rewarding thanks to experimentation, restaurant stat-boosts, and 300-plus collectible pins, backed by an energetic soundtrack and a story that consumes about half the playtime. Repetitive rival-team battles and a few crashes are the only real blemishes on a world that begs you to return.
A stylish, long-awaited sequel set in Shibuya with a fun, intriguing story, likeable characters, and a striking anime-inspired aesthetic backed by an energizing soundtrack. The pin-based combat offers enormous build variety with over 300 unique attacks, and while it starts out feeling clunky and disorienting, it grows surprisingly intuitive once it clicks. Weaknesses include a fixed camera that hampers battles, occasional frame dips, and frequent load times and cutscenes that make the experience feel fragmented at times.
Captures original essence; stylish with strong cast and engaging combat.

“A solid sequel that delivers what fans love about the series with creative combat and enjoyable exploration. While the plot is less emotionally resonant than the original, the pin-collecting mechanics, fashion system, and excellent soundtrack make it a compelling experience.”
