    J-STARS Victory VS+ is not perfect, but is the ultimate anime crossover and a must have for anyone who loves manga and Japanese animation.

    Unlike almost everything, but far from perfect. Otakus should have it, the other players may have more complete options, but not so original in its genre.

    J-Stars Victory Vs+ brings together some good fighting moments with popular Bandai Namco licenses, while offering up somewhat addictive, yet sporadic, gameplay flow. Improvements in environment variety, CPU artificial intelligence and visuals could help to make this a more memorable brawler in the future, as it falls short in these categories as it stands.

    J-Stars Victory Vs. + mostly gets the job done when it comes to delivering a manic anime-based brawler for fans that have been waiting for the next Jump Superstars. But more could've easily been done with it, especially with the presentation and the fighting system.

    J-Stars Victory VS+ is a love letter to manga and anime fans, specifically those who enjoy Weekly Shonen Jump. True fans of the genre will find the story mode entertaining as well as the references to many renown franchises, while outsiders are left with nothing of interest at all.

    Very young and very undemanding fans of shōnen manga may get a fleeting kick out of J-Stars Victory VS+, but there’s too much cheaper (and superior) competition currently available across all platforms to warrant a half-hearted recommendation.

    If you’re not arguing with your friends over whether Naruto would beat Goku and you’re not praying for the fourth season of “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” there’s absolutely no reason for you to care about this really weak fighting game. [09/2015, p.63]

The arcade mode isPlayed it for a total of 5 hours, and still don't have even half of every character! This game is bound to keep you busy. The arcade mode is hard, and the adventure mode is OK, but everything else is smooth. No characters are clones, and I don't see what other reviews are complaining about it being simple. There's a character that can heal himself, but if you keep missing attacks he'll get weaker. The 2 v 2 open arena battles don't seen crowded, but the versus split screen is too small, but I got used to it. Expand

While the graphics seem a little dated, the gameplay was surprisingly smooth. Most characters have a very unique skill-set and combo potential that is very different from one another so you actually have to learn the character. My biggest gripes with the game is that it is extremely unbalanced, certain characters just dominate the roster, and the over reliance of the team mechanics can get a tad bit annoying, especially if you're trying to play online and have to wait for someone to pair up with you before you even start the match. . Also the single player content is awful,, the arcade and story are so bare-bones. Overall though its a very solid game that could have been so much more with better graphics, better balancing and better single player content., Expand

    I want to start by saying that I'm an anime fan and have seen at least a few episodes of most of the animes represented in this game. Now I'mI want to start by saying that I'm an anime fan and have seen at least a few episodes of most of the animes represented in this game. Now I'm not much of a fighting game fan and I only bought this game because it was anime related and on sale for like $12 on PSN. How could I go wrong?

    The truth is I wasn't wrong. This is a decent (albeit repetitive) game. I wasn't expecting much from this game but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Each character is unique and true to their anime counterparts in their attacks / special attacks. It'd be cool if they added in extra outfits for each character though rather than just having their original gear. There's a pretty decent number of stages ranging from large to small but none were necessarily great or all that terrible. There are also a lot of characters to choose from as well which is awesome.

    This is definitely a fan service game for those of you that love both Shonen Jump animes / mangas and 3D fighting games. If like you like one (like me) or both then definitely check this game out as I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Especially for those of you that think your Shonen Jump character is better than all others but your friend thinks otherwise, then you can fight to prove it! For those that aren't complete fans of both though get it if it's cheap / on sale like I did. I wouldn't recommend buying it if it cost more than $25-$30 max if that's the case.

    6/10 for me

    Another Bandai Namco fighting game. Fun for local multiplayer but that's about it. The story is slow, boring and feels very dull. CompletingAnother Bandai Namco fighting game. Fun for local multiplayer but that's about it. The story is slow, boring and feels very dull. Completing the game to 100% took HOURS of mindless, repetitive grinding. You also need to complete the previously mentioned story game 4 times in order to get the platinum. Honestly I would not recommend it unless you don't mind spending tons of hours of your life on doing the same 3 combos again and again. Expand
