Despite storytelling blunders, this game has characters galore -- and battles you'll want to watch repeatedly.
The music is good, too. Not incredible, but you'll hear nostalgic tunes taken from Sega, Namco and Capcom games. The sound effects are good, too, even though most of the dialogue is in Japanese. Hey, no problem there – it's better than hiring a cheesy English voice cast to bring these characters to life.
While Project X Zone can't top the sheer brilliance of Fire Emblem: Awakening – its lack of worthwhile storytelling may leave some gamers confused – it's a strong second place finisher. Being able to create and define your own battle team is something else, and the gameplay offers plenty of variety, even to those who normally wouldn't touch an RPG. No matter what company you're a bigger fan of (no sense getting into a "Capcom vs. Sega" argument), this Zone is well worth hopping into. You should be able to find a transporter, right? They're everywhere here.

Score: 8 / 10
