Project DiVA X is currently available on PS4 and PS Vita. This review is for the PS4 version only.

Learning my lesson from the last Project DiVA game, I decided to take extra time off, just to play through the entire game and see how many unlockables I could discover before doing a full review. I'll be going over everything from DLC to songs, so stick around, this will be a long review.

Japan Sumo Cup X Street Fighter (Online): Sumo Wrestlers on a Horse!

Japan Sumo Cup's online installment is legally free, a combined effort from Capcom, Umabi, the Japan Racing Association, and the Japan Sumo Association. It is best played on a Laptop or PC, and features retro polygon CGI models. You can play it for free here.

It isn't often that you find a game that perfectly harmonizes Japan's odd humor with classic video game characters, but this free website game somehow has managed to do it and do it well.

Japan Sumo Cup is a mixture of everything that defines Japanese humor with a Kentucky mainstay, horse racing!
Picture
The game is half in Japanese and half in English, but honestly, you don't need to speak or read either to play. The menu is self-explanatory, you just click on the round you want to play, click on the face of your Sumo Wrestler, click on a Street Fighter character, then hit "START" and wait for the game to load.

Once you have been greeted warmly with the opening ceremony, it's time to play, and while the controls are simple, timing is key.
Picture
See the blue and green circles? Those are little Taiko drums that make your horse speed up. Each time a drum hits the arrow on the left side of the screen, you need to hit one of the arrow keys on your keyboard.

↑ controls the blue drums, while ↓ controls the green drums. 

When you see a long drum line, you need to tap the ↑ or ↓ button furiously for extra points. If the drums fuse into one, extra long line, you need to tap both ↑ and ↓ as fast as possible, to activate your home stretch combo.
Picture
And then this happens.

Yes. Your horse will suddenly catch fire and speed you past the other horses.

But if your horse makes it across the line, you are rewarded with a screen where you can enter your name, and bask in the glory of your score.
Picture
But watch out! All of the Street Fighter characters are anticipating you catching up, and each one is ready to spring their famous attacks from past Street Fighter games.
Picture
Which can lead to comical results, as seen above. Currently, Ryu, Chun-Li, Blanka, Dhalism, Guile and M. Bison are all potential opponents, while more characters are expected to be added soon.
Picture
The overall serious nature of the polygonal Street Fighter characters just adds to the game's charm. It's energetic, goofy, and as much fun to watch as it is to play. Like most Street Fighter titles, it's pretty short, making it a good casual game, but the replay value is high.

Today, she is an avid collector of all things Nintendo, but makes time for PlayStation, SEGA and XBOX. She is a huge fan of Retron consoles.
