As big a fan as I am of the YYH universe, I must sadly say this game could've used a few months more work

Imagine myself stoked as hell that a Yu Yu Hakusho game was coming out....I thought "Hell yeah! Finally drag some attention away from the DBZ universe!"....Then when I bought the game...imagine myself filled with regret and hatred toward Atari for spending maybe 1/100th the budget on this game as they did with DBZ: Budokai. Granted, the graphics are crisp and I liked the clips from the show in between fights, but this game had some serious issues. Control was god-awful, and I blew through the game in a day. I played it for about 4 hours or so, and 2 1/2 of those hours was spent trying to beat Toguro. In the end, I was not thrilled and promptly returned the title...citing a defect that it wouldn't work properly...which wasn't too far from the truth. Just a couple of weeks after release, I was already seeing it in the 14.99 bins, and piles of used copies on the shelf selling for 8.99. When I was in the game store, this kid was so pissed that he'd spent $40 on a game, and upon trading it in, only got $2 for his troubles.
