THE GOOD:Cinematic battle system, multiple storylines, unlockable galleries.
THE BAD:
Tricky camera angles, lengthy cut-scenes
SUMMARY:
Once again, this is a title that fans of the original anime will enjoy. It includes many of the original characters (Cleao, Majick, Lucky), and introduces a few new ones. However, those who aren't familiar with the Orphen series may not be able to get into the spirit of it that easily and brush it off as just "another action RPG".
The battle system is the most noteworthy part of the entire game. It's stunningly cinematic, constantly shifting camera angles to make it seem as if you're actually playing the show. This also forces players to keep an eye on what's going on around them so that they can strategize their movements.
The multiple storyline feature makes for good replay value, allowing for gamers to experience at least three different runs through. Not to mention that depending on their performance, they can unlock gallery pictures.
The only real drawback is the irritating camera angles when not in battle mode, making it difficult to see where you're going sometimes, and the fact that there seems to be a cut scene in every other room you enter sometimes. Other than that, this game would make a great addition to any anime gamer's library.
