CAGiversary!
This game just doesn't get the respect it deserves. It is easily the best action game I have played since Devil May Cry.
Graphics: 9
The graphics are absolutely gorgeous. The effects are excellent and on par with even some of the better looking XBox games. It is perhaps the best looking game on Playstation 2. The anime cutscenes are also well done and interesting. They carry the story quite well and are wonderful to watch. So, why a 9 and not a 10? There is one problem - slowdown. The game slows to a crawl at times with intense action and explosions covering the screen(and these times are frequent). It rarely effects gameplay, but can be quite annoying.
Gameplay: 10
The game engine is simply marvelous. The controls are easy to pick up and once mastered give complete control of your mech in the full 3D environment. You'll be moving your mech in any direction with ease. Your mech also comes with many powerful weapons, all of which you will need as the enemies are numerous and have no problem with gang-banging you. I've never had more fun than using my grab technique to take hold of an enemy machine then swing him around destroying all his friends surrounding me before tossing him into a mountain, grinning as the wonderful particle effects explode before my eyes...mmmm! I could go on and on about how much fun this game is too play, but you really need to experience it for yourself.
Audio: 9
The music and sound effects are well done. The only real problem with the audio is the occasional bad voice acting.
Replay Value: 8
The game will only last 4-6 hours your first time through. It has different difficulty settings and enough incentive to play through the game many times, but once you get the gameplay mechanics down you'll be able to breeze through in under 2 hours. There are several different costumes and versions of Jehuty to unlock by playing through the story modes. There is also a versus mode, but it is not extremely deep .
Overall: 9(not an average)
Even though the game isn't very long I still feel it is well worth $50(quality > quantity), but if you happen to find a good deal DO NOT HESITATE TO GET THIS GAME! You will especially enjoy it if you are into badass mech anime!
