What could go wrong?
At the core of the game is a slick and streamlined beat em up fighting engine.
On top of this simple foundation are some entertaining additions, such as Drama Pieces.
Outside this core of delicious nougat, however, things get a little… flaky.
The game doesnt offer any context for your battles outside the fights, either.
In its favour the game is as gorgeous as youd expect.
The cel-shaded graphics are well-drawn, fitting the anime style very well, and the character designs are excellent.
The combat audio is exactly what you need, full of subtle audio cues assisting in deciding your timing.
Oh, and I imagine that to some players the multiplayer over Xbox Live will be a big draw.
Still, despite enjoying the game my recommendation is tentative.
