Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle - GR Review

Oh, the '80s humanity! It seems like Bandai Namco is on a quest to breathe life into classic franchises, because this isnÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËt the first "classic" anime brought back for a modern gaming audience. Either that, or as with released before this, the publisher is trying to bring back some seriously feathered '80s hair and the over-geled helmets and the mulletshellip; oh, I pray to everything holy, The Mulletshellip; and just a touch of old-school stripper. Why so many characters have nipple-tastic accessories I still donÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËt understand. With a look befitting a late-'80s/early-'90s revival complete with over-geled yakuza hair and the Billy Ray Cyrus hairstyle, JoJoÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËs Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is a unique throwback to an obscure manga and anime era where craziness reigned supreme and Fist of the North Star was freshly off the air. JoJo is the story of a family that throughout the ages finds its descendants fighting all the time because someone is always angry at them. (Hopefully for their hair, because it just gets ridiculous.) TheyÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËre forced to fight a range of wacky characters, some of whom have whatÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËs called a Stand, or a sort of dual-spirit that deals most of their damage. ItÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËs like Fist of the North Star that way, only with seemingly less "one-touch explosion" action. [gallery=409] The title's gameplay is lackadaisical. You know in fighting game greats like with the repetition of Chun-LiÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žËs Lightning Kick except with punching. An opposing character will fall for the same trick twice, so why should I bother even trying other stuff?
