Better than I thought

Most fighting games from animes are usually pretty.... bad. Mostly because you will get 20 different kinds of games all with 2 3 4 5 6 and SUPER MEGA BODOKAI, somewhere around the title (yes I am poking fun at all of the DBZ fighters only one of which I thought was good). To be honest this game seemed like it would fall into that category but I guess when you do nothing but make endless sequels and use cool new words to sell the other sequels in case people who aren't thick may have caught on that when one game is bad the others are too, you tend to find ways to make them good.
This game I would say it pretty good. It kind of lacks a lot of replay value, I am not a fan therefore once the novelty of a new game is gone unless I like the content it is pretty much over. I also tend to be exponentially good at min/maxing so I only play games vs other people when I get good at it, but at that point I am brutally beating my friends around the ring and it just isn't fun at that point either. It isn't a very intuitive game at first, but you can get the hang of it fairly quickly.
Overall I think it is a very good game as far as fighting games of this genre go. The graphics are like a 3D anime, which works because that is what the game is suppose to look like, so it appeals to the original genre and the fanbase. The fighting system isn't overly simple but isn't morbidly complex. The action is quick but not so fast it makes you dizzy. The difficulty curves don't range from barely doing anything to putting you on lock down the entire fight (sometimes, some are just bad picks against certain fighters). Overall I was blown away with just how fun this game was, I would recommend it to someone who wants to play a fighting game.
