Hey Duders,
Quite a simple one, how is this game? Is it any good?
I had some friends that imported this last year. I think the fighting is needlessly complex, kinda confusing, and not very fun. But from a pure fan service perspective there's something to like there. Personally I only have experience with the versus mode, but I saw my friends play the story and it seemed more involved than I expected.
It's really a fanservice game. If you love a lot of Jump series, there's probably fun to be had. If you don't, or only care for like one of the series represented, it'll probably be pretty mediocre.
At least, that's the vibe I've always gotten from people since it came out last year in Japan. I won't have my copy until Tuesday because damn you Bamco so I can't really speak to it too much. I know I'm personally gonna have a blast with it though.
Side note: If anyone is a cheap bastard like me and is getting the PS3 version, feel free to hit me up if you want to play online. (Would make a separate thread if I wasn't so sure everyone else is getting it on PS4 >.> )
You really like the anime represented and find the idea of their characters fighting novel or exciting? Then you'll be fine. If you're just curious because the game has Vegeta in it (like me), then it's not good enough. Your call.
I haven't gotten to play much yet, but the one match I did was pretty fun. I can't decide whether I want a Jeff/Dan quick look because of the One Piece one they did, or a GBeast one because of the Naruto one they did.
@ruukie: Most of the fighters are locked at the beginning. There's only about a screens worth unlocked, and for some reason it starts you on the last screen. Left and Right triggers to change screens.
I've put a few hours in and got some of them there impressions.
What I posted earlier in the thread is pretty much true to how I'm finding the game. Initially I thought it was eh but after playing more and getting more familiar with the mechanics, I'm having a lot of fun.

Overall I'm having a blast so far, but I can definitely see this game probably won't have a ton of mileage for people. There's certainly enough content to potentially give people a lot to do but I feel like many will get bored long before they get a chance to get to it. If you LOVE Shonen Jump (and I can't stress that enough, you really have to like a lot of the series represented) you'll probably have some fun. If you're just buying it because hey Goku is in it, you'll probably dislike it.
