Gameplay: 9/10
  • when playing offline there are four modes: Arcade (main mode), Versus, Training, and Mission (learn each characters moves)
  • huge roster of characters
  • normal and simple operation modes
  • simple mode allows you to unleash powerful attacks with the push of just one button
  • simple mode is great for those that don't care to master the game
  • easy to pick up and play, difficult to master
  • before battle you choose three characters and a special attack for each one
  • during battle push L1 or R1 to call in an ally to unleash the special attack you chose, this is called an assist
  • you have a meter with five levels at the bottom of the screen. the meter fills by landing attacks on your opponent. the levels of the meter work like this: first level: you can unleash one characters special attack, second level: you can unleash two characters special attacks at one time, third level: you can unleash all three characters special attacks at one time, levels four and five: basically extra levels that can be used as you see fit.
  • each special attack uses one level in the meter, example: if you were to use all three special attacks at one time it would use up three levels on your meter
  • allies need to be alive to utilize there special attacks
  • tells you results of the battle after each match
  • lots of fun when you get used to the characters
  • made me install the game to my hard drive which was weird
  • characters seemed a little unbalanced
  • license card keeps track of your wins/losses, player card, fighting style, play state, history, and reserve unit
  • reserve units are rosters of characters you've preselected, can have three
Story: 8/10

Sound: 8.5/10
