I've played a bit of it so far & I think the overhauled gameplay works really well tbh
Wai Wai Party always did have a bit of "mobile to arcade to console" awkwardness about it which is fully gone here
They got rid of ad-libs though >:(
But if you like rhythm games why not give it a shot!? There's a free demo and the full game is on sale rn
And for everyone who is like "play Taito games" but hasn't touched anything they made after the 90s:
This is what Taito games are now!!!! Will you play them or won't you?!
The big deal with this one is that it's the first Groove Coaster game fully designed around console play with native 16:9 charts and new controller-optimised inputs
It also has a story mode with all kinds of funky characters
