description
Dearly Stars switched the point of view from the producer to the idols themselves. This time you are not just in the back stage cheering them on, you interact with the production company, go to auditions and win the roles yourself.
Fear not, for you are not alone. Established idols such as Amane Haruka will show up to guide you along. Listen to their advice and see how your meeting with them will change your path.
Be sure to interact with the other two new idols who entered the company with you. In the world of entertainment, you can't live alone, network with your competitors, for they could be your ally some day.

The best IDOL simulation game.
In game you are Producer. You can trainning your idol and change her Clothing. Your Idol will dance and Sing in Audition scene with 3D visual modelling.

Different from the other games...
...but still a worthwhile experience, if you are a fan of the games. You take the perspective of the idol this time around, rather than the producer. If you're new to the series, I'd say it's still worth starting on this one, as it is a (somewhat) cheaper alternative, but you will not have the same kind of experience that you would with the 360 games. Keep that in mind.
It's also worth noting, that if you're a little slow on Japanese, this version has no more auto-scroll text or timed decisions, as opposed to the 360 versions.

its pretty good
This game was my first foray into the idolm@ster series. I'm not a native japanese speaker so the story is a little daunting to me, but i like how the idols are all fully voiced but i wish everyone else was too it would help me understand more. Its pretty easy to navigate tho because there is english sprinkled about. The minigames are fun except for the lyrics one because i fail everytime >_

Decent
Story is decent but nothing special. Very few songs (10 per character). Fans of the series will find nothing they liked before here, and may even be upset at how some old characters are handled. Audition parts are extremely badly done and left me questioning their purpose; They seem to serve none aside from being route split points which could be done in a dozen other ways.
That being said, not a bad game. Ryou is fun to mess with.

Different from its predecessors.
Story/Plot
I wouldn't really call it a plot or a story per se, since you are allowed to manipulate the story however you like and get multiple endings, but the backstory is one thing you really need to take note about, and its one of the more interesting ones i've seen since the debut of Idolm@ster. You get to choose between 3 idols(see the picture). One on the left was a famous hikikomori* internet idol(perhaps still is) named Mizutani Eri**, one on the middle's a daughter of a super idol who had her when she's just 15 years old named Hidaka Ai**, and last but not least, the one on the right is a boy masquerading as a girl idol.
* = Stays in home all day and doesn't go out at all
** = All names in Native Japanese order.
Gameplay
Truth be told, i haven't played this game at all since i bought it only for collection purposes and not to play it. But i've seen several videos up on sites like Youtube and i say that it plays out quite similar to its predecessor with some differences(No detail on that, sorry.)
Advice
I'll be honest. Not everyone's going to like this game. It had several Japanese pop culture/anime industry references and many foreigners will not like this product. If you are the kind who likes a typical American game, don't get this product. But if you are a pretty consistent follower of Visual Novels and other Anime games, i recommend this.
