    That J-Stars Victory Vs+ delivers its rampant destruction in a way that goes down so smoothly, even for newcomers to the genre/universe…well, that's more than enough to make it worth picking up, as far as I'm concerned.

    It's a good fighting game, easy to learn but still able to reach interesting levels of strategic depth.

    J-Stars Victory VS+ is a fun fighting game that is great in small doses.

    J-Stars Victory VS+ is a reasonably solid handheld brawler that houses plenty of content. Its accessible but mostly satisfying and fun gameplay suits portable play well, even if its simplistic systems will do little to keep fans of more technical fighters engaged.

    Too lightweight for fighting fans and too charmless for anime fans, it's hard to see this pleasing anybody.

    The same as the console version, but WORST in almost every way.
    But just for being portable, maybe is worth it.

I did prefered to play it on the console version though.… Full Review »

    Let's be honest though, no one is going to play it for the fighting system, it's all about the fanservice.
    The fanservice is great for the most part, the story mode falls flat, but it's really fun to play with available characters and see their different quirks and moves, the presentation is also amazing (for example, Shinpachi commentating the fight off-screen while you play as Gintoki, is solid gold.)
    The only problem is the lackluster roster. From the almost 50 years of Shounen Jump history, we've got merely 52 (39 playable) characters; and while some of them are a really nice surprise like Medaka Box characters, some are there just because they were popular at the time of the game's release (Which is why, for example, instead of the beloved staple of the series, Kujo Jotaro and DIO, we've only got the previous two JoJos, and no one else.)
    The number is especially disappointing when coming from the previous Shounen Jump game, which had 305 (56 playable) characters.
    But even so, it's still fun and well made even on the Vita (despite some hiccups here and there, like pixelated shadows.)    … Full Review »
