Why is this a preliminary review, well this game is in Japanese and I don't see it being translated soon. Anyhow on with the review:
This is a strategy game (Final Fantasy Tactics) with characters from Namco games and Capcom games (sweet). The intro of the game is great of Animated characters from various Namco and Capcom games (Xenosaga, Towers of Druga, Arthur from Ghost in Goblins, SF characters, Rival Schools, Tronbone, Darkstalkers, Klonoa to name a few). There are 2 new characters to the game (I think they are the main characters of NxC). Storywise I have no clue but it seems the 2 worlds of Namco and Capcom somehow their dimensions crosses. For example in a battle I was using the Towers of Druga characters and a dimension rift appeared and Klonoa appeared (joining my team).
During each turn, for the character you control, it plays their theme music (good stuff). When you do an attack, you can do mad combos by doing (figuring out) a set of directions and O button. I did a 40 plus hit combo with Chun Li and her attacks. When an enemy attacks you, you can parry (reduce damage) their attacks. This requires a press of the d-pad at the right time. Each time you are successful with a block, you build up your super meter. When your super meter is maxed, you can use it along with the normal combos (chain attack the normal combos into Super Moves, like Chun Li does her super fireball and kicks you into the air). If you are in a team, say Klonoa and the other character I have no clue of, the other character can jump in and start doing combos and you can end with your super move. I guess I will have to wait for an English instruction manual before I know exactly how to pull stuff off.
Overall this game is pure fun and highly recommended IF or when it comes out.
Graphics 8.5/10
Sound 9/10
Playability 9.8/10
Replay Value N/A (can't rate since I haven't beaten it)
Overall 9.2/10
