This game kinda captures the spirit of the anime series. Worth playing if you're a fan. Probably not that much if

I have not played Chapter Sanctuary yet, but this one is really fun if you like or used to like it when a child. It is really cool to see the characters performing the moves they did on the anime, reproduced exactly as they were.

The game follows the Hades Chapter story, not just putting you to fight, but showing cutscenes from the anime, and allowing you to chose your answers sometimes in the dialogs.
There are few playable guys when you start the game (only the bronze saints) but you can unlock many.
After you beat the story mode you unlock 2 more modes.

The gameplay isn't anything that special, but it is suficient for the proposal. You have you cosmo meter, wich you can refill by holding down L1. You can make fast combos by pressing square rapidly, perform medium-strength and high attacks with X, and O, in this order.
Triangle is used to launch special attacks, by making combinations with the directional buttons.
For supers, wich stop the game for you to watch a sequence like the ones the guys did, you hold L1 and press Square, Triangle, O or X, each one sending you to a different cutscene.

The graphics are not a total letdown, but aren't anything stunning. It is just enough to show the saints and their shining clothes, sometimes a little weird, but still fun. The backgrounds look bad.

I think that's it. If you liked the anime, you will surely like to remember it.
If you didn't like it, I think you won't like the game as well.
