The basic songs are easy enough, but there are four points in the game where you have to accompany someone else in a song, and the last three took me at least a dozen tries each. The problem is the microphone is so imprecise. Sometimes a note wouldn't register, and other times it would play two notes in a row, forcing you to restart the whole thing.
To the game's credits, the boss fights are cool, and while none of the dungeons are hard, the last two are complicated enough to be fun.
But goddamn, that train sucks. And as the game progresses, it forces more and more mandatory fetch quests down your throat. If you need to put out a fire, first you have to backtrack to the snow world and find an ice builder, then drive the ice builder to a different spot on the map, then transport his ice back to the fire world before it can melt, then find a different route because monsters have appeared on the tracks. And once you finally get there, a villager is kind enough to inform you that, hey, they need more fucking ice!
It's mindless, plodding busywork that does nothing except artificially extend the game's length, and it happens over and over again.
