    Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

    Strengths: Customization with fighters and styles. Looks good. Great action.

    Weaknesses:None.

    Overall Evaluation: Arcana Heart is a very good fighter. It's got its own setting and style that separates it from the other 2d fighters. It doesn't reinvent the genre. But it's original enough that it's something that every fighting fan will like. The all female cast and fighting enviroments are fun. Also, there's great balance between the fighting styles. If you're a fan of fighters, pick it up.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: timing, combos and balance well executed

    Weaknesses:load times

    Overall Evaluation: I usually buy an Atlus title because I want an rpg, and they tend to deliver a quality title. But I also harbor a desire to test out 2d fighters- especially those I had never heard of- as well as a fondness for anime. So when I heard about Arcana Heart coming out, I made a note and picked it up at release. As fighting games go, AH is very smooth and the mechanics are sound. Fighters and attacks are balanced and the computer didn't seem to regress to cheating. That said, there is a bit of a learning curve and while the AI is sound, it is the two-player action that fighting games (for me) are all about. In this respect, had I been able to play online through the aging ps2, it would have been an awesome feat. Still, vs battles are fun affairs. The only negative, and it was rather disruptive, is the longish load times between fights. Nothing breaks the mood like having to cool down between fights while the load screen churns. Had they been able to cut to the action quicker, this would be a 5-star experience.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Its a Fighting Game

    Weaknesses:No dialogue voices

    Overall Evaluation: The game is based twelve arch-type anime girls. The story is hard to understand well because there is no story. Plays a lot like Guilty Gear combo system you can go up to 100 hits which could fun but could have been done without it. Its a Atlus game and they don't make many copies, get it now before you miss out and its great game.
