    I was a little surprised that despite being marketed on the fanservice (and yes, it's there aplenty in all its wonderful glory), there is actually an engaging story, an interesting combo system, a ton of replayability and the soundtrack is awesome.

    I have one major gripe with the game and that's the framerate. The main hub is a stutterfest. Actual gameplay, transformation scenes, dialog sections and the likes are smooth enough to not stick out like the hub, but I have to wonder if they are 30fps.

    If you are completely turned off by breasts and buttocks...well, then this game is probably not for you, but otherwise Senran Kagura is a full recommendation.    … Expand

    Framerate is the biggest let down for me, but blame Nintendo for that as well for releasing consoles that are always 5 years behind hardware wise. Shinovi versus runs at 60fps on Vita without too much trouble and is actually in 3D. This is 2.5D can easily dip into 15fps and is at best locked at 30.

    Besides that, you get what you can expect when buying such a game.

    Besides that, you get what you can expect when buying such a game. You don't buy it for the extremely fine plot, just to mindlessly press couple buttons with cute girls (Hibari is best girl) and have [spoiler] fun [/spoiler] .    … Expand

    This game is (what almost every other over the top budget game tries to be but fails to do so) fun.
    Simple, Fast, Sexy. You get what you expect from this game.

    In reality, this game deserves an 8.5, but I'll give it a 10 to offset all the anime/fanservice haters that rate it a 0 without even completing half the game. 0.5 points off for muddy textures and 1 point off for Mirai. I know the social boundary for what is acceptable is a gray area--Yagyu, being a good example. But no matter how you look at it, Mirai cannot be considered anything butIn reality, this game deserves an 8.5, but I'll give it a 10 to offset all the anime/fanservice haters that rate it a 0 without even completing half the game. 0.5 points off for muddy textures and 1 point off for Mirai. I know the social boundary for what is acceptable is a gray area--Yagyu, being a good example. But no matter how you look at it, Mirai cannot be considered anything but prepubescent. Her depiction approaches the 10-12 year old range.

    Now that I got that out of the way:

    Most of the girls are incredibly sexy. Fight mechanic is great. Japanese voices are amazing. Love the Japanese setting. There's more to the game than just fanservice, although that part is awesome too obviously. We need more games like this!    … Expand

    At first, I thought this was just a mindless button masher, and that I would get tired of it pretty quickly. But, as it went on, the game awards you with more moves, combos and harder challenges.

More importantly, though, for a game that relies on pure fan-service, it actually has a meaningful and interesting story to go along with it. When playing through the story, there is actually more story then there is actual gameplay, but that's ok, because the story is, like I said, really interesting. There are also extra missions and 2 campaigns, seeing as this game is actually 2-in-1 (In Japan, these 2 campaigns were 2 separate games). So, you definitely get your money's worth.… Expand

    A fun throwback to the old school beat-em-up style game play. The art is neat and cute, the characters are fun to see how their styles play, and the enemies are just goofy and silly fun. I really enjoyed this game, and anyone who is a fan of beat-em-up games of yesterday would benefit from picking this one up, it's just what games should be at the end of the day, good fun!

    Boobs aside, Senran Kagura Burst feels a bit mediocre—it's not a bad beat-'em-up, but it's not one of the best.

    Just as is the case with bras, Senran Kagura Burst has been modeled around the female anatomy. In this case, around the gigantic breast of these Japanese schoolgirls. Removed the itch, the entire apparatus is deflated and what remains is a fast-paced but trivial beat-em-up.

    Senran Kagura Burst is tailored to a very, very specific segment of the audience who will appreciate its peculiar humor. For other parts of the audience, there's the enormously disproportionate cartoonish female breasts, but a game cannot live off that alone. A flawed frame rate that becomes incredibly frustrating at some points and excessive repetitiveness make this a passable offer, to be considered only by those attracted by the game's humor and style.
