An unusual style of fighting game.

The whole game is extremely cinematic. It is just like interacting with the anime. There is so much animation but obviously this reduces your actual control over the proceedings.

It is quite hard to actually discribe what this game is like. The closest thing would be to say Road Avenger/Time Gal on the SNES crossed with the Captain Tsubasa games. The battle takes place in two windows at the top of the screen with you controlling your selected character in the left window and the computer controlling your opponent in the right. The whole thing is fully animated exactly like the mamoth battle scenes of the TV series.

The degree of control you have over the fight basically comes down to you press directions and buttons at the same time. The controls are represented at the bottom of the screen.

Enjoyment of the game will depend entirely on the person playing. The best I can say is that it's an experience!

Strange game. Never had much clue what me and my friend were doing on it, but it was pretty compelling just bashing the buttons and seeing what nicely animated sequence happened next.

Again, a game that only an anime fan would take interest in. You couldn't market a game like this to anyone outside of Japan. You screw around with the buttons for a bit, but it quickly gets boring. I still have the origional cartridge that I bought from Allstar Games back in 1996... for £25 -_-
