The Good
Beautiful animation. Good storyline. One or two people can play this. Very well done graphical presentation.
The Bad
The save feature is based on a limited amount of lives and continues. The controls can be some what sluggish at times. There was never a sequel.
The Bottom Line
People seem to either hate it or love it. If you don't like Japanese Animee' don't bother buying this.
