Blunt and simple: It. Sucks.

Great DS counterpart, and some gameplay videos that looked cool made me buy this piece of wacked-out anime poop. And obviously, I regretted it.

Shallow fighting mechanics, static stills and gimmicky controls make this game a big, fat dud. Yeah, it's pretty simple to get used to, but you'll get tired of it anyway.

The only thing you'll ever do in this game is waggle, waggle, waggle, waggle and waggle either left to right, up to down, or dead center stabbing motions. Plus, you can also put variation into your combos and even penetrate defense when you do a special or critical attack by pressing B or A respectively, while waggling.

These are also the mechanics that power its sort-of-duel-sequence which also plays like a game of rock, paper, scissors. One motion beats the other, and so on and so on.

And then, there's single player. I mean, everyone seems to want a piece of the friggin' Sokuyaku shards, whatever they are, and it's simply the same storyline every single time!

For fan service, there's a decent amount that can be bought in its store, but you'll just be able to complete it in a day or two unlike that of its DS counterpart. Seriously, how come they can put more content in a DS game than in a Wii game?! That's pretty ass-backwards.

To excite the fans even further in its marketing at least, there's a new "exclusive" character. I don't watch the series, but I'll guess it's Alturo Plateado, basically an Antonio Banderas rip-off or something with a silly external appearance to NOT match. Judging by that description, however, the guy's really hard to take seriously. He's the boss character for God's sake!

Multiplayer is nothing much. Just more rock, paper, scissors and waggling.

The worst thing to ever happen to an anime franchise is this abomination- even if I did buy a bootleg. It's 60 dollars too much!
