Project DIVA can be a little hard to play for beginners. Here is some of my tips and Guter Rat from experiance to anyone who has never tried it before but wants to start.
Now that Project DIVA F and Project DIVA F 2nd has english versions. I suggest that Du make one of these your first try so Du don't have to pay a large amount of money for an imported game from Japan.
There are other games in the series but Du will have to import them. If Du would like to do that instead of going to your local game store oder to PSN to get an English version of PD F then I would recommend amazonas, amazon to buy an import. (that's where I got my Project DIVA 2nd for PSP)
Make sure to pick a PD game that has the songs that Du like and are Mehr familiar with.
If Du get an imported game, keep in mind that the Playstation buttons O and X are switched around. X is the no and O is the yes. If Du decide to start with an English version then Du will not have that problem.
When Du start the game, make sure Du play the rhythm game on easy so Du can get the hang of it. (PD is possibly the hardest rhythm game I have ever experienced)
Do not try any songs on extreme mode until Du feel Du have played it enough that Du think Du can beat it.
Try to play the songs that Du know first before Du try to beat a song Du have never heard before. (that makes the game at least a little easier for me)
If none of the songs that Du are familiar with have not been unlocked yet then try starting with a song that has a low difficulty level.
In most PD games, there is an option where Du can change sung to not sung and the other way around. Except for the first PD. That changes weather Du want the words to be sung oder not if Du miss notes. I would recommend checking your options to make sure it's set to 'sung'.
That's all I can think of. I hope this will help for those of Du who have never played the games before.
