This is what you call an amazing game. I think we Northern Americans have been eating a can of whoop-ass that was made in Japana all year now. First they do Persona 3 FES, then MGS4, and now TC: UTK2. Shit, we American developers are screwed. (Especially when you consider the fact that our only possible salvation at this point is Gears of War II or Call of Duty 5. And here is the problem: Treyarch, the dipshits who brought you “Spiderman: The Movie: The Game” (real title I believe?) are developing COD5, and Epic, developers of Gears is claiming to have developed the most amazing game ever by taking N64 gameplay and using hi-def graphics and 3RD person camera angles.)
Anyways, most of you have probably never heard of this game, just like none of you ever heard of Guitar Hero, which I was ranting and raving about, and then they made a commericial and you asked me if I heard about it. Anywho, this is a true arthouse or independent game. The store I went to got ten copies and that will probably be it forever. And it was a popular store. Anyways. The game is amazing. It is very challenging and the game’s art channels anime and manga and as a self-proclaimed anime otaku I can say it comes pretty damn close to an anime feature film or miniseries. The story is a blast, and the game is LONG. This is over 10 hours and it is on the DS. That is huge. This is the first time in my life (other then Ghost Babel) where I have actually been amazed by a portable title. Buy this.
VERDICT:
10/10 EDITOR’S CHOICE
