Just rescently got this game, and was wondering if anyone else did too. I got this game thinking it would be like Budokai 3, but I was both impressed and dissapointed in several ways. Here is my breakdown:
Why I was impressed:
- Plenty of cinematic scenes of the show, uncut with all the cussing and blood.
- Fuly destroyable battlefields, from the floor beneath your feet to the poor helpless demons watching in teh crowd.

- Multiple ways to play, including tag team, a special token game, two different modes of Dark Tournament, and a very helpful training mode.
- The training mode provides you with all the different moves your character can learn through a guided walkthrough.
Why I was dissapointed:
- Only 25 characters and 8 battlefields, 3 of which were stadiums. Compared to Budokai 3, very limited.
- a sometimes frustrating battlesystem. Long, difficult chains to do any real damage,plus difficult to jump and duck, as well as avoid attacks by the opponent.
- positively EVIL villains. Even under Easy mode you'll have a heck of a time progressing through Dark Tournament.
- No opening to the game. TO me, a good game opening is a must have, but not only does this game lack a good opening, it lacks an opening period.
alternate opinions on teh game are certainly welcome. I'd like to think I'm not the only one who bought this game.
