    It's JoJo and that's all I really wanted from it.I'm not sure how deep the combat is yet, if at all, but it's a fun brawler.Any game where you can play as a coffee flavored gum chewing dog cant be all that bad right?

    Jojo's Bizarre Adventure:Eyes of Heaven is a 2v2 arena brawler similar to that of J Stars Victory VS , but of only Jojo characters. Sounds amazing right? Not really. This game is a letdown for a fighting game fan, but not for a Jojo fan. This game is very perfect for a Jojo fan especially one who isn't very good at fighting games or just doesn't care about a deep battle system. The gameJojo's Bizarre Adventure:Eyes of Heaven is a 2v2 arena brawler similar to that of J Stars Victory VS , but of only Jojo characters. Sounds amazing right? Not really. This game is a letdown for a fighting game fan, but not for a Jojo fan. This game is very perfect for a Jojo fan especially one who isn't very good at fighting games or just doesn't care about a deep battle system. The game features team ultimate attacks as well which you can use when you've accumulate enough of your gauge to do it. Some are generic with your partner doing a generic attack combo leading into your iconic finisher move, but if your character and your partner have relations in the series then they will perform a special attack together that may be straight from the series itself or even be completely brand new as you can intermix characters from different timelines of the series. One example being that of 2 different versions of the same character having a team ultimate.

    Pros:
    - Perfect to the source material
    - Character interactions that bring out your inner Jojo fan
    - Story drafted by the creator of the series himself
    - Good list of characters from the 8 arcs currently existing in the series
    - Amazing art and alternate costumes
    Cons:
    - Mindless "button mashing" style of game play
    - No complex mechanics to back up the easy access of play
    - no local multiplayer
    - The online is like an infinitely buffering youtube video
    - When characters fall on the ground it takes forever for them to get up which results in short bursts of waiting on top of your opponents body so you can continue fighting them.

    Personal problems:
    They changed the iconic Road Roller finisher on DIO.

    If you like Jojo i recommend this as a 10/10
    if you like fighters I recommend this as a 3/10
    If you like Jojo AND fighters, a 6/10

    Recommend Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star battle for the ultimate jojo experience as it has more characters than Jojo's Bizarre adventure: Heritage for the future (which is also a top notch game)    … Expand

    It's a fun JoJo game - crammed full of fanservice. I have to say though, that the combat in JJBA: All Star Battle (PS3) was a lot better (even if it did utilise stupid directional combos). The Story is alright (though I can't really say much about it as I played it in Japanese and ~50% of it went over my head), but it is essentially good and is fresh (something I can't say a lot aboutIt's a fun JoJo game - crammed full of fanservice.

Love the character roster, I just wish that the combat was more flushed out and utilised specific combos like Tekken, Street Fighter or Budokai games. Ohh well... 6.5/10 game rounded up to 7/10 because I'm a JoJo lover.… Expand

    A good game for fans of the series, with so much content, and fanservice.
    But if you are not a jojofan, you can pass it.
    The gameplay is fine, and the art direction is gorgeous... But the online doesn´t work, and this game dont have any local multiplayer options.
    Its nice for some fans, but if you don´t like jojo, don´t try it.
    Also, it contains major spoilers for all jojo parts. Be warned.

    JoJo's Eyes of Heaven It's a open Arena fighter, It Has a lot fan service, and Fun art style, but the fighting mechanics are kinda button masher, AI Partner Aren't reliable There's no 2 Co-Op players but it has fair balanced content and unlockable, Basically if You're Fan if Jojo It Has Fun Game and Nice Fanservice, if you're not stay away from it

    Unique mechanics and fighting, great roster though I wish it had more part 8 characters, netcode is worse than SSBU and the game gets repetitive after a while.

    Play this game only if you are a JoJo fan. To me gameplay mechanics are not very interesting. I do not like playing fighting games in 3d space. Sometimes I do not understand who hits who during fight properly. However, the game also has lots of positive aspects. For example, there are many many characters and if you are a JoJo fan you are gonna love it. Also it is obvious how they reallyPlay this game only if you are a JoJo fan.

    The mechanics are kinda trash ,but somehow i like it because its a different mechanic than other games like some mortal kombat combat mechanic like. Its feels like a ripoff with some characters in a movie.

    It's a niche little experience. It's fun seeing characters from past, "present" (given how this stems from Part 3), future, and entirely alternate realities interact with each other, as well as all the cool details that can happen depending on your team combination and the stage itself.

    Eyes of Heaven offers a wacky story with plenty of varying dialogue that will bring in even the most casual Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, but the gameplay is average at best that doesn't offer much substance other than making sure the button mashes connect before the opponent's does. Fans of the anime will appreciate this game, but the casual gamer will not get much out of this title.

    Those unfamiliar with Jojo are likely to be bewildered playing Eyes of Heaven; the game pulls no punches in declaring its priorities with its thick layer of fanservice, pleasing only those who've read far into the series' three decade long run. It's an unfortunate misgiving to newcomers, but for fans, it's unequivocal bliss.

    In the end, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven can be divisive. The new fighting system is fine, but the lack of depth in moves, a few cumbersome commands, and bad camera make it less fun to work with than the previous title.
