Love the Anime, but the game is just a generic fighter. it plays just like bleach: heat the soul.

" i can't speak for the anime. but as a fighting game, it's one of the most advanced ones currently out. So there's no way the game was gonna look good with a couple of scrubs mashing out moves and hoping something interesting happened. "
Nice to see you joined just to bash the staff.

a fate/stay fighting game would lend nicely to something like blazblu in which each character is uniquely styled movesets.

Fate/Stay Night originated from an h-game, right?
 
Yet now we have a fighting game, now fun for the whole family.

as someone who would call himself a "distant admirer" of animé, even i can see ryan has no concept of it.
 
shame, as he likes comics.
 
Then again he does come across as the kind of person that thinks its mad pretentious and lets that stop him from going near it.

F/SN is one of my favorite VNs along with Tsukihime. Sucks that the game looks like a pretty generic fighter (albeit with fan service).

This is a great anime, and this game doesn't look too bad. I might pick this up after seeing some more videos of it. I need some more games for my PSP.

Well, as a fighting game it looks decent. Still you can tell that  the guys are not particularly enamored with the style nor do they care much for the series that it's based on.
 
It's like the QL of Blazblue: It's more based on personal taste.

 Fate/Stay Night was a VN to start with then it became popular, so it got an anime and now it has a game.  looks ok not sure if i will get it, really it looks like Bleach: Heat the Soul and i only get that due to being far to in to bleach for my own good

The Anime of Fate/Stay Night was based on an 'Adult' PC Visual Novel Game...Thingy...
So basicly this is a game based on an anime based on a manga based on a game.

I agree with Jeff about games that don't tell you about timing. It's pretty damn frustrating.

If this is a PSN download chances are the manual is accessed via Triangle on XMB, most downloads have this.

Was never a manga.  Also, this game is based on the Visual Novels, not the anime (which is also much more a Choose Your Own Adventure type book read through your computer screen than a game.)

Yeah, I don't see why everyone thinks this game sucks. It looks better than I expected, comparing it to most animes that have been turned into fighting games. Plus, BlazBlue is an amazing game and I'd have to side with Game Trailers' review over Giant Bomb's Quick Look on that game.
 
And to those of you that are complaining how the enemies aren't fighting back: If you guys know anything about fighting games, you'd know that the difficulty can always be raised. Perhaps the game starts you on wuss mode without you even knowing.

Generic Ass Anime is the name of my new anime manga I'm writing. Be on the look out for it since it's sure to be as popular as Naruto. Quality means nothing to the anime kids, just as long as it has super saiyans and annoying ninja children with pathetic lives.

@gabha: Low blow, man XD. Especially considering that was a mistranslation by fansubbers, with the intended meaning being "A fatal blow should be able to kill you". And please guys, stop spoiling the you-know-what with Archer, considering thats one of the biggest reveals of the whole game. 
 
The game looks incredibly similar to the Gekitou Ninja Taisen games, maybe even more so since the voice of Sasuke is the voice of Shirou.  Too bad I don't have a PSP, I am somewhat interested in this game.

I remember Fate/Stay Night's story it was crazy convoluted. I hear the visual novel was even more crazy time paradox magic stuff.

Actually, there was a manga. The manga was based on the anime though, not the other way around as I stated.
