    The music in Project Diva 2nd is highly praised for its catchy J-pop tracks, featuring a mix of familiar favorites and new additions, with a total of 40 songs available, plus additional DLC options. While the game offers a diverse range of difficulty levels, some players find the increased challenge frustrating, especially when compared to previous installments. Overall, the vibrant music and engaging rhythm gameplay make it a must-play for fans of Vocaloid and rhythm games alike.
