Pros
Pro New modes added over the original title
There are quite a few new modes included in this game over the original title, which allows for more replayability. Wakeboard is the standout new mode, where players are pulled along and need to collect blocks to fill a grid. There are also developer created modes that offer variations of the core Mono mode.
Pro Soundcloud integration
User can log into Soundcloud to then use music from the service int he game. It is easy to do and offer a vast amount of music.
Pro Great turn-based combat
Combat is what you would expect for a normal turn-based RPG, but there is a cool timing based mechanic that allows a quick time action, that can help boost attacks. This gives a bit of a twist to the combat, making it a bit more enjoyable than your bog standard RPG as the player is given more choice as to how they want to execute more powerful moves.
Pro Good amount of content
The game is pretty linear, but there are three areas you get to explore (a suburban neighborhood, a grim mall, and the dark countryside) that each have hidden secrets and items to collect. This should take a good bit of time for those that enjoy completing a game 100 percent.
Pro Good save system
The included DLC has a newer save system (over consoles) that works better, which is applied to the whole of the game. This way there should be no issue with game saves, which is great for an RPG (as no one want to repeat content due to lost saves).
Pro PC version includes DLC from consoles
For what was an extra $5 DLC for consoles is included with the normal price of the game on PCs.
Cons
Con No way to find leaderboards for track you may want to use
It is not until a musical track is used that one can look at a leaderboard for it. For those that use niche type music it is annoying to have to use the track first to even see if others are playing it.
Con May be too child centric
While this game is great for kids, adults may find it too easy or cartoony.
