I have it and am selling it at the moment
I posted this on story. It is not really a review, but just random thoughts as they came to me.
So I beat the game for the first time last night and I guess I will give a few thoughts...
Overall, it is a good game. Good, not great. I just don't see tons of replay value for the main fact that the fighting is very repetitive. Even when you add in different combos, the simplicity of it all seems too much like a button masher for me.
If it was not for the beautiful graphics and the need to unlock the footage and outfit, I would have probably lost interest a lot sooner. It gets better towards the end when they make you think in the levels a bit more than just fight fight fight.
Another problem was the camera. It was hard to really control it well. It did its job, but I wish it was easier to control or just better placed in some levels (like the cave level where you can't ever really see above you that well without stopping every few steps and looking around).
Again, the graphics and character design were great. Lau looks awesome in his traditional costume and it only gets better when you unlock the Gackt costume because he really does look like Gackt. The bosses and monsters and other lead characters were all nice as well.
The plot was... well, unoriginal. Very cliched and almost pointless to add what little they did. Which is fine for an all out action game I guess, but I was a bit more excited about it because of the descriptions I kept hearing about it. Like things about the city, etc. None of this was even touched on really o-o;
So once again... overall, if you are a Gackt fan, you will have your fun with the 'girly ninja' , but ultimately I can't see any real replay value without boredom setting in. And it is short as well. I finished the game in about 6 or so hours and that was with me running around and checking every little area of the levels and just messing around with enemies...
