    There are a few great moments in the game that fans of the series will truly enjoy, but these moments are scattered far and between to make gamers want to stick with the game for a long period of time.

    A compass points to your current objective, but it's still easy to get lost in the game's complex levels. [Mar 2004, p.121]

    I was even less impressed by the game's fighting system. There isn't an ounce of technique involved. Just walk up to an enemy and rapidly punch it until it goes down.

    Despite a wealth of material to draw from, it's a poorly-executed game that lets down anime fans and gamers alike. [Summer 2004, p.44]

    First off the critics are just stupid. why would they expect this game to have amazing graphics and a amazing combat system. It's a freakin GBA game not a console game. there are four buttons to use so why would they say the combat system is boring and repetitive. You can punch and use spirit attacks, thats pretty much what I'd expect yes the game could have been a bit longer but it does a good job of giving the player the main theme of the anime.… Expand
