    The battles are repetitive and uninspiring, it doesn't matter than the story telling stays true to its predecessors, the fact that the fighting mechanics are integral to the storyline pretty much makes it inexcusable; it becomes tiring after hours of the same point shoot point shoot point shoot. They try to mix it up a bit with varied bullets and rooms that ask for specific accomplishments but even that is let down by bad design rather than error on the player's part.

    Overall this game is the weak link to a strong series, it really doesn't do this franchise justice. If you're interested in how the story line progresses I suggest reading the game's wiki to find out or even just watching the play throughs with all the fighting mechanics cut out. Don't waste your time with this game.    … Expand

    Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is for those who care more about story than shooting.

    Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is everything I could have asked for in a new Danganronpa game. While the presentation has changed the spirit has not, and at a time when the Vita struggles for new games it is an instant classic.
