Finally got my hands on a copy, and after spending most of the day playing it i must as well write a review.
First of all many people are concern if the game is too difficult for people who dont know Japanese. While most of the text game in Japanese, it is not that hard to go through the menu and the story is very limited. The only problem might be not getting the mission objective and putting koma together. Using gamefaqs the objective shouldn't be a problem. For the koma, you have to match a character with a quote. http://parasyte.info/jsschars.html This might be the hardest part of the game and will take a while if you dont know any japanese. I wont be shock if the koma is hard enough for people to stop playing.
As for the gameplay, the single player mode has different obective, such as not getting hit or do not use certain buttons. It is simple but fun as you get to aquire more koma.
The control setting is decent, but with the touch screen it seems like the game is design for people with a thrid hand. You have to use the touch screen to change character or call in a support character, which isnt the easiest thing to do in the middle of a battle.
The music are all new. Since this is based on the manga, there is no voice or music from the anime.
Right now I dont have a chance to test out multiplayer, so maybe more on that later.
Overall this is a good game if you are interst in the manga series. If you dont know Japanese it might take a little effort and time to figure things out, but nothing too hard. The gameplay is also fun and are good for long or short peroid of play.
