7.0 Presentation The customization stuff is quite good, but there are a lot of nagging issues pretty much everywhere. 7.0 Graphics The character detail is good, though the included character designs are somewhat fugly. But there are lots of texture spots that just look bad and blurry. 8.0 Sound The soundtrack is awesome, of course, but the output of the music creator is pretty bad. 8.0 Gameplay The note tracking is loose, which I dig, but the transcription is poor at times. The main mode isn't deep at all. 8.0 Lasting Appeal The downloadable content support will make or break this score, but outlook is promising. The online stuff can be fun, but the created music will get old fast as the sound quality sucks. 7.9 Good OVERALL
