This game cam out as a European versionwhich has the Japanese voices instead an subtitles. Much better than this.
I am more of reviewing the European version, but basically it's the same game. The difference is that in the european version they use the original japanese voice acting with subtitles. This gives the game an entirely different feeling and it actually doesn't feel ridiculous like the american voice acting.
The rest of the games are the same, same storyline and characters etc.
The story-mode is far to easy even when playing on the level 3 option which is the highest difficulty at the beginning, later on you get to access level 4 which is a sky high difference which is bad because you can't get a flow between the two difficulties at first, most people probably won't be able to play on lv 4 difficulty. Otherwise this game is easy and quick to unlock with it's secret characters etc. so you mostly play it to challenge your friends who also are fan of the series.
