Square-Enix delve into Anime style 3d action adventure, with fantastic results!
Made by Square-Enix its got a fantastically colourfull 3d engine with really nice characters, fluid motion and great effects. All the moves have nice flashy effects and some of the more interesting graphics to come to the ps2, such as seen in ffx. The swords look good and you can actually cut the enemies to bits, literally!
Also a smattering of final-fantasy-esque features, such as the rpg element, menus and ability to upgrade your weapons and skills. You can collect items, get them appraised to see what they do and then use them to your benefit in the game.
Its a lovely progression from thier initial turn based rpg style into a frantic but enjoyable hack and slash adventure. I have to say im totally biased, as i like, anime, square-enix, final fantasy, and samurais. If this sounds like you then id say definatly give this game a whirl. If you arent so sure, buy it from auction, buy it second hand from a games store or even just rent it! Its worth looking at for sure.
All round a great game for 3d action adventure fans with an interest in anime or square style gameplay. Nice and flashy, not over complicated but enough there to give it a decent outing.
Go get it ! :)
