What real reviews say

★★★★★ 。非常好

★ Pay to play More than 90% of the game’s songs are locked behind many different paywalls. Don’t play this unless you’re ready to spend several hundred dollars.

★★ PAY TO PLAY!!!!! can you make this game NOT pay to play because I just wanna do the story mode and unlock new songs but it just HAD TO BE PAY TO PLAY like can you not be greedy bro
