Arcana Heart Review (PS2)

Post by Satoshi_Matrix »

Time for another review. Now that Arcana Heart 3 is out in Japan, I wanted to talk about the first Arcana Heart, a moe fetish fighting game for the PS2.

For anyone worried I'm speed reviewing, I had already mostly done written this. All I did was added a few finishing touches, and to be fair my last F-Zero review was copy pasta from my vault of past reviews.

Anyway, enjoy Arcana Heart!

I really want to like this game but it is so damn hard.

I'm not the best at fighters, but I try, and this game is very complicated! Just like you said.

oh but its sooo good on the eyes!

Excellent review!

I purchased this game about a year ago and got so frustrated with it (something you pointed out quite well) that I sold it in disgust.

I always felt that I had not given it enough of a chance so I recently re-bought it, hoping to figure it out. I think you actually explained one of the things that was confusing me the most!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Oh? what's that?

By the way, in case you guys haven't noticed, I've been tossing in easter eggs of sorts into my last half dozen reviews. Move your mouse over any image and you'll get a hidden message as I am secretly a ninja.

I have been looking for this game [CIB] for a while, but I have let to find a used copy. I figure I'll eventually find it, sitting next to Klonoa 2 and Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner. :lol:

With the promise of all things shamelessly moe. If you don’t know what moe means, look it up right now as I’ll continue to make reference to the word throughout this review.

I've had a habit of eating my words lately. Just yesterday, I DID find these three games, complete, sitting next to each other in a game store. Needless to say, I snatched them up right away.

I've been meaning to pick up a copy, but there's a plethora of other games I have to get first :lol:
