    In many ways, J-Stars Victory Vs+ is reminiscent of Dragon Ball Xenoverse, with its simple brawling, flashy anime characters, and even flashier special attacks. But while DBX was, at times, more fun and impressive, it was also much glitchier and more exasperating. J-Stars Victory Vs+ is more middle-of-the-road bad— it's never especially frustrating, but it's also never especially exciting.

    J-Stars Victory Vs+ is a game that has the look, but just couldn’t follow through on the execution.

    Manga and anime fans will no doubt get some pleasure out of the game’s endless array of cameos, but viewed on its merits as a fighting game this is a clear defeat.

    Many of the most famous shonen manga characters reunited in a very disappointing crossover. Technically weak and with a poor gameplay, J-Stars Victory Vs+ only appears as a fan service experience. Nothing more.

    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]

Many different characters to play as satisfyingly fun combat different than most fighting games. Offers a ton of content but will have go be played extensively if you want to unlock everything. It's a very fun addicting arena battle game, if you're a fan of shonen Jump manga like naruto, bleach or dbz or if you just want a fun unique fighting game different than the arcade fighters out there you will find a lot to like about j stars victory.… Full Review »

    Played 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 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.… Full Review »

    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    … Full Review »
