VGChartz’s Issa Maki: “When all is said and done, Melody of Memory does what it sets out to do. The gameplay is simple, fun, and addictive, while the music is as wonderful as it always has been. Fans of Kingdom Hearts or rhythm games will both find something to love here, but most will be left wanting more. The RPG and other aspects that made the series what it is aren’t nearly as fleshed out as they first appear to be. Hatsune Miku shouldn’t be able to outperform the game in this area, yet it has. Outside of the World Tour, the other modes are not only lacking some basic features of the genre, but of gaming in general. In the end, MoM doesn’t quite go the distance.”
