For a first attempt on a video game based on an anime this isnt half bad. They are doing the same mistake that many game designers attempt for an anime, and that's making the characters look as close as possible to the anime. Pretty much BIG outlines, and trying to make a 2D character turn into a 3D character. I designed video games for a long time, and this never bodes well. All I can hope is that they a.) Make a “hand held” version of this game on the PSP or DS and b.) On their next video game, if it gets that popular, to make the character seem more realistic so the “flow” of the game works well. But I was actually expecting worse, so the quality of this game so far makes me very happy.
