    This is strictly a fan game, and in that vein, it is a success.

    This title is complete fan service to those who like the anime, and will largely be enjoyed by these people, just be careful of the occasional cheap comeback by the computer.

    A game that (probably) does as much justice to the cartoon series as you can expect, and while fans of ‘proper’ fighting games will overlook it – with some justification – it’s not without its merits. The visual style, special effects, damageable arenas and, we understand, proper voice actors all lend themselves to a fairly well rounded experience.

    This game gets boring quick, and the frustration induced from agonizing over the awkward controls makes Yu Yu destined for the dark bargain bin pit of despair.

    It is hard one of the best fighting games ever that actually gave me a challenge.

    Action-packed, thrilling, easy-to-follow story-line, and, most of all, it gets you hooked.

    The only challenge had in this game is trying to understand why it's such a slow paced fighting game that relies on basic combos to have an actual fight. It's sickeningly boring, and this is coming from a person who can say Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite anime series.… Expand
