    A sublime blend of old and new, Battle Fantasia has both the hardcore mechanics and depth to attract devout beat-'em-up fanatics and the style, polish and approachability to rope in the less devoted gamer. It could use a few more characters and perhaps a little more substance but still, BF is easily one of the better fighting games to grace the current generation of consoles so far. [JPN Import]

    Battle Fantasia certainly isn't going to have anyone cancelling their pre-order for Street Fighter IV; it's not even in the same league as Capcom's superlative re-envisioning. But if you've room in your life for more than one 2D fighter, then Battle Fantasia is a polished if slightly standard gem worthy of any would-be fighter's time.

    The slower, more deliberate pace and the hefty fine levied by missed throws and counters may initially confuse those expecting Guilty Fear in a new set of clothes, but ultimately provides a smoother learning curve and a more welcoming experience for new players. [Sept 2008, p.94]

    The final boss can be beaten on the hardest difficulty by spamming the same move the entire match, i think that was supposed to be in your review of SF4.… Expand

    This fighter is definitely aimed at the less experienced audience. The final boss can be beaten on the hardest difficulty by spamming the same move the entire match. The art style is enjoyable and the story adds a lot to the experience. A solid casual fighter overall. Try before buying though.… Expand
