I can finally play Phantom Breaker on an American Xbox 360 (the Extra version is Region Free). 4 new characters that come to give variety to the title (Sophia, a girl who uses a double sword and uses as a skateboard. Gaito a beast man who represents the stereotype of heavy and strong. Lady **** captain? / admiral? Sometimes autistic who has a serious all time and does not open his mouth. Ende an ambiguous character leaning on a giant robotic hand). New Extra mode that adds more power to the power bar but removes the possibility of Phantom Moves (Super Super Super Arts) I like the transition of backgrounds). 5 hidden characters to unlock (2 re-colors with different plot). Here they do not charge me for Kurisu. No extra DLC purchases required. The character designs are very beautiful. 900G of Easy Archivements
The bad:
Character movement is slow even in Fast mode. The 3D Cell Shading graphics makes some characters look a bit ugly. It is region free but the dialogues, support texts and menus are in Japanese Kanji. Failing a fight in Battle Situation mode does not ask you if you want to retry, it returns you to the select mission menu. Some effects and character modeling look bad when zooming into characters. It is not backward compatible with Xbox One.
What Meh !:
I had always wanted to play Phantom Breaker the fighting game (I also have the normal version but that is not read by my American Xbox 360). Many only know the franchise for the Super deformed cartoon game, which is fun but the fighting game is better although to understand the story, dialogues and menu you must know how to read Japanese Kanji. Too bad that this franchise is not popular, its characters and situations are worth remembering. It seems like a game of just hitting buttons randomly but it is not like that since whoever knows what he is doing can reverse a fight using the game's own mechanics.…Full Review »
