Video Game Reviews of Arcana Heart
Customer Review: I am absoliutely terrible at fighting games...
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, I absolutely suck when it comes to fighting games. Anyone who can mash buttons can beat me, but that doesn't change the fact that I love playing them.
Arcana Heart is an all-female fighting game, which I think was long past due to debut in a culture where in fighting games the token females were only about half as strong as any male. With 11 girls and 11 arcana to choose from, there are 121 possible choices to make for your fighter, pretty much meaning a fighting style for everyone.
The animations are fluid, the storyline is fun, and each girl and arcana has a unique move-set that can keep your opponent guessing at what you'll do next. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys fighting games.
Customer Review: Fun, not for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great game, for a niche audience. It's very fast paced as well as exciting. Very challenging at times too. The great thing about this game is it's great fro just pick up and play, or to pass the time, seeing which scores you can beat and unlocking all the art. The fighters are very diverse and when played right are very well balanced.
The girls themselves are very interesting and, while not quite a story game, they have some unique personalities to be sure. The music isn't great for listening alone but with the fighting it just feels right, no complaints here anyway. The controls are smooth which allows for some very intense matches that you'd never see in Soul Calibur.
Overall a fun game with a great cast and playability. If you like anime/2d fighters you owe it to yourself to pick this game up.
Customer Review: Game for only the anime fans
Summary: 4 Stars
This game doesn't really stand out in the sea of fighting games as far as game play. What make this stand out is that, and I hate to say it, its a novelty game for anime fans to have to play for a good 15 - 30 mins. I am not a hardcore gamer, and if I were, I would give this game a lower rating. Being the anime fan that I am, I love the all female cast in this game. Only pick up this game if you are just want to play this game, beat it and then trade it in, or buying it to be part of your anime collection of video games.Customer Review: Surprisingly good 2-D fighter
Summary: 4 Stars
Atlus' Arcana Heart is for truly devoted fans of the 2-D fighter and it shows. Featuring an all female fighting roster, Arcana Heart features a surprisingly deep fighting system and an interesting, obviosuly anime-inspired art design to boot. The animation is fluid and looks very good, the storyline and characters are quirky, and the Japanese flair overall is ever-present as well, although there are some issues to be found the deeper you get in the game. For starters, some may find the loading time to be a little on the long side, while others may have a hard time getting into Arcana Heart's play style and unique fighting mechanics. Make no mistake that Arcana Heart is not meant for the mainstream fighting gamer, but for hardcore fans of the 2-D fighting genre that don't mind an anime flavor. If that sounds like your thing, you'll have a blast with Arcana Heart, and the budget price tag certainly doesn't hurt things either.Customer Review: the fighter for non figher fans
Summary: 4 Stars
people not into fighting games looking for something laid back and just fun to play should give this one a shot. not hard to get into just pick up and play. Good graphics and sound effects make arcana heart that much better. Cute characters and great voice acting are some of the highlights.
