    An action game with appealing and simple gameplay but with flat characters and no connective tissue.

    There are also four unlockable characters (in addition to the original four) and extra game modes not present in the GameCube original, making this the definitive version. [Jan 2003, p.26]

    Imagine, if you will, Dynasty Warriors with magic spells, a weirder and more convoluted story, and boss fights, then shrink if all down and add a heavy dose of Anime style. What you end up with, more or less, is Mystic Heroes.
  4. GamePro

    Wacky camera angles that can be frustrating and difficult to adjust during heated battles plague every level.

    It never proves itself competent enough to deserve more than a weekend rental.

    Mystic Heroes is to “DW 2 & 3” what “Virtua Fighter Kids” is to “Virtua Fighter 2” and “Twisted Metal Small Brawl” is to “Twisted Metal Black”: a Super Deformed take on the same hack-and-slash 3D gameplay from its grown-up predecessor.

    I can't recall a recent game story that's left me more puzzled. [Jan 2003, p.128]

    This is the best and most addictive games to date. The bosses even fill up the whole of the screen when you fight them! Pure Genious.
