    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.

    This is one of the worst licensed anime games up there with the Naruto ones. There is nothing about this game that is appealing. The combat is feels like they are fighting in molasses, the character models look funny, and there is nothing resembling balance at all. As far as fighting games go, this one is a joke, there is nothing fun about it.

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

    To a fan, if you can get over the fighting's sluggish pace, there's much nostalgia to be had. For the rest, this is one ghost file that best remains closed.

    With no online capabilities or even tag-team possibilities, you're better off spending the 40 bucks on a Jenga game and a case of Schlitz.
