    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?

    Eyes of Heaven es un juego hecho para los que somos fans de la saga, la historia es muy buena y el combate también, además de estar llena de referencias a la historia.

    Le pongo un 8 porque le falta con urgencia un modo local.

I've been hyped for this game ever since I heard about it a few months back. The general scores for it's Japanese release were extremely positive and that only made me thirstier to play this game. When I first got it, I was surprised to see how many spoilers there were for the end of Stardust Crusaders right at the beginning of the game's story mode. I highly recommend that you catch up before you buy this. The game itself is really fun and has a fairly large roster spanning from Johnathan to Pet Shop. Speaking of Pet Shop, he is the most unbalanced character in the game. You can sit back and shoot projectiles from the air while your enemies have little to no chance of hitting you. I also was quite frustrated when I heard that there wasn't a local multiplayer mode added to this game. Another problem with this game is the online servers at this time. They were so laggy that it made the game unplayable.

    Pros: big roster, long story (goes up to part 8!), fun fighting mechanics, tons of fan service, and references to other shows through alternate costumes.

    Cons: online too laggy, no local multiplayer, unbalanced characters, and many spoilers in story mode.

    Overall a great game that I will continue to play with my friends.    … Expand

    Aunque lo considere un poco peor que el anterior, sigue teniendo un buen fandom para los fans, aunque si lo juega una persona nueva no le agradara tanto ya que es un poco tosco los controles.

    O Jogo de Jojo mais massa que eu já joguei Quase perfeito, os unicos defeitos são a falta de capricho no online e a falta do modo de 2 players, mas nada que estrague a diversão, quem é fã de Jojo's Bizarre Adventure vai gostar.

    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.

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).

    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.

    After playing this game I began to relay the lessons I learned into my own personal life. For example, I saw my grandfather acting strangely, and I suspected that he was actually a stand user in disguise! Turns out he was actually epileptic and also had chronic joint pain. Thanks a lot jojo

    Eyes of Heaven is a game I've been waiting for since it was announced. I got the demo the day it was released and found myself replaying the very limited fights it gave over and over again. Put simply, this game is for fans of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and no one else. More so than a Naruto game, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has so many characters, so many jokes and references, that if youEyes of Heaven is a game I've been waiting for since it was announced.

More so than a Naruto game, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has so many characters, so many jokes and references, that if you haven't read the manga or watched the anime, you just will not care.

    The plot picks up after the third arc of the series and travels through all 8 arcs that currently exist and doesn't explain much about them. This is why being a fan is a prerequisite to enjoying the game. Even in combat most of your moves are references or taken straight from the source material.

    With that out of the way, if you're a fan of Jojo and wondering "Is this any good then?" The answer is yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. (To non Jojo fans, I just made a reference) The gameplay is so much better than it was in the PS3 fighter. Eyes of Heaven is more of an arena brawler. You and a companion (generally AI) face off against another team of two in a decent sized area full of traps, usable items, and stuff to throw. Each character has a list of unique moves and even how their basic attacks work are different (Unlike the fighter where almost everyone was all punching and kicking all the time). Combat can be fast paced, the levels aren't big enough that you'll do a lot of running at the enemy, but they have height to them that you can use to escape and plan, if you're character is less inclined to face punching.

    Each area of the game was pretty much lifted from the manga itself, and the story was overseen by the creator of the manga, Hirohiko Araki. This is again where I stress that if you're not a fan this won't matter to you, but if you are a fan it's like a golden stamp of quality assurance. The story was drafted by Araki and in that way it's like we've gotten a bonus arc.

    Overall, if you haven't gotten it by this point, fans of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, either the anime or manga, should buy this game when it fits their budget. It's a fun game with a lot of characters to play as and the interactions between them are great. The story will be interesting and it's almost like an arc from the manga or anime. If you aren't a fan, don't buy it, don't look at it, pretend it doesn't exist, because all you'll see is an arena brawler like Power Stone with weird characters saying things you don't understandu. (That's a reference too.)    … Expand

    The Bad: The netcode is horrendous so online multiplayer is pretty much useless and there is no local co-op to compensate. Some of the character names are changed from the anime. Only a little more than half of the entire roster can be used in story mode.

    The Good: The game literally feels like you are playing the anime. They didn't shy away from bringing characters with complex powers like Diavolo or Vanilla Ice. Every stage in story mode has a free-roam version. The roster has something like 53 playable characters. Many characters interact with each other during the fight opening.

    I think this game is great. As a long time JoJo fan it does just about everything I want it to. I can't recommend it to non-JoJo fans, but I can't recommend it enough to those who are.    … Expand

    Eyes of Heaven was something I was very much looking forward to, especially since it has something that was grossly absent from All-Star Battle; Speedwagon.

The actually quality of the graphics is rather disappointing, and while the shadows are really nice and give it a great stylized look, the overall look seemed better on All-Star Battle. However, the main issue, and the one that is making me give it a 4, is that there is NO LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. No Co-Op or even Versus! What kind of fighting game doesn't have any sort of offline multiplayer? I've never played any sort of fighting game that doesn't support this, and the fact that the developers felt that they could omit a staple of the genre sorely upset me. Maybe the next version will allow a more sociable experience, but for now, back to All-Star Battle.… Expand

    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.
