Out of every single work ever contributed to the medium, this might be the game I am worst at. I helplessly flounder the instant I have to use more than three buttons on my controller. To me, this was like playing Elden Ring NG+++ with a 2x Damage multiplier and a blindfold on. It took me *twice* the HLTB time to finish this, and, wearing my heart on my sleeve, I did a microscopic amount of cheating… So, when even a haphazard, talentless player such as I can crawl through this game and still recognise that it does indeed rule, it only stands as a testament to its incredulousness. Such a creative, evolving experience, always pushing itself to better what it did previously. A love for itself flows out through Space Channel 5’s radio waves, harmonised alongside a delicious soundtrack for the ages. They should make 10,000 more Space Channel 5 games.

Really fun and stylish rhythm game that'll be delisted on 6th December. Worth the price imo. While it's a sequel, you can jump right in and have a great time. Sad to see it going away. Chu chu chu ❤

A bizarre, fun rhythm game whose only flaw, so far as I can tell, is its fake longevity. The thing about Space Channel 5: Part 2 is that I finished its entire story mode in a single night. I was in a bad mood for a variety of reasons, and needed cheering up, and it definitely did do that with how incredibly absurd its "story" and dancing was, combined with fun and surprisingly difficult rhythm game gameplay (I'm no stranger to rhythm games, and I find that quirky console games like this tend to be easier than the more hardcore arcade-style ones, but some of the patterns it throws at you, combined with the length of some of the levels, meant that it certainly wasn't a walk in the park). I enjoyed it! The challenge mode (which claims to be 100 stages but is actually twice that - its difficulty being that you have to get through the entire thing without a single mistake), is neat, too, and I've not yet had the skill to get further than 74% ratings (though admittedly, I've only tried twice). The music and English voice acting is not exactly what I'd call amazing (the Japanese voice acting sounds better, but that's really just a truism in old games like this lmao - and it doesn't have English subtitles so even though the commands are inexplicably still in English, you wouldn't be able to understand any of the dialogue unless you're fluent), but it adds to the aggressively-early-2000s charm of the piece. (And the song with beatboxing done by literal, actual, real-life Michael Jackson - sorry, Space Michael - is genuinely a banger. Side note, really funny to me that he just speaks English even in the original Japanese dub.) The main problem is that the game seems to be trying to trick you into thinking it's longer than it is. I saw that the first Space Channel 5, which I've not played, was criticized for its short length, and I think the devs took that to heart but in a way that was kind of transparently lazy. For instance, after finishing the six stages of the main story, I was excited to try the next round of the story mode, but from what I can tell it's extremely similar to regular story mode (down to many of the patterns, dialogue, and cutscenes) save for the fact that some of the background characters are different. This isn't necessarily a terrible thing - I'd happily play it again, and probably will do the extra mode in the coming days - but the really blatant shows of fake longevity come in the form of "co-op mode" and the "secret commands". For the former, "co-op mode" is local-only two-player where one player controls the arrow keys while the other controls "chu" and "hey", which... doesn't seem different from single-player mode, save for the fact that someone else is doing two of the keys instead of you controlling all of them. Despite this, you cannot get all the costumes and achievements in the game without going through both the story mode and the challenge mode in both single-player and co-op mode. On top of this, you cannot get a perfect score of 100% ratings on any of the stages without knowing all the secret commands - places to press a button during non-playable cutscenes in the level, such as when the characters do a little dance and shout "WHOO!" You learn these commands by going through the character profile section and following instructions to talk to various characters, who will give you the places to perform them. Except... as far as I can tell, they won't give you all the commands at once. I followed three secret commands given to me for Report 1, only to find that wasn't all of them because there were seven in total... and when I went to the character profile section to look for more, the notification had changed, but only to offer me two or three more. Why would I have to play a level - minimum ten minutes, with later ones being longer - all the way through four times to unlock all the secret commands and get a perfect score? Why would I want to play the level through knowing I couldn't get a perfect score, but that I have to arbitrarily do it so the game will tell me where the next secret command spaces are?? I don't want to start finding the game tedious, but that's exactly what this fake longevity seems designed to do - make what is ultimately a brief game with six stages and a challenge mode into something that takes much longer to 100% complete than it has any right to. And as a frequent completionist, it kinda seems like a lack of respect for my time. Ultimately, Space Channel 5: Part 2 is a silly, genuinely fun little rhythm game to kill a few hours with. I think I got it on sale for a few dollars, and I certainly don't regret that purchase. But given the highly artificial barriers toward 100% completion, I'm really not sure that getting every achievement and every perfect score in this game is worth your time. (If I'm wrong about any of the details above, please let me know! Like I said, I haven't 100% completed it, and would love to know if my impressions are incorrect.)

Campy, c*nty, and super fun. I've seen a few people saying it doesn't work on Steam Deck, but personally, it worked fine for me. Definitely recommend.
