Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Another Story

"A great RPG off a great anime"

Overview: A new threat has arose for the Sailor Senshi as they will face their ultimate foe up to date the Opposito Senshi, only with the power of the Binshigou (sp) can they repel the true evil. This story spans thru out several battles of the Senshi's past. They battle queen Beryl once again, and then there's the whole Black UFO event. Then there's the battles in the future . This game's original storyline really makes it fresh even for those who have seen every episode of Sailor Moon and it's original enough even if you never saw a sailor moon show you get the feel of what you're accomplishing.
Onto the Beef and Potatoes

Story: 10/10 summed up above

Music: 7/10 Some very good music and even some adapted from the Anime. I do find some of the music utterly annoying though but it can be lived with, all and all very good track

Graphics: 9.5/10 The graphics are nicely done especially the onscreen characters and the pictures of the characters when they talk they look exactly like they do on the Anime and that's a feat especially on the SNES.

Challenge: 5/10 Not to hard at it's hardest part it's at about an 8 at it's easiest point it's about a 3. But I will admit it has an extremely hard final battle.

Gameplay: 9/10 I will admit it's not really that original of a battle system it kinda relates me to Breath of Fire's Battle system using symbols to represent your commands. Also the double and triple techs are sorta like the double and triple techs in Chrono Trigger. and the formation attack is a nice added feature.

Replay: 6/10 Well you can always try different parties of characters, but that gets kinda old after awhile maybe if they added more sidequests it would of been better.

Overall: 84/100
Buy/Rent: Well considering this game is old I can not really know if you can buy it and since it was never released in America the chances of finding it is very rare and unless you know Japanese it would be very hard to play.

I'd say if you need a game to pull you in and surprise you this game will certainly do that This game took over 35 hours plus from my life now I hope it will do the same for you as you will enjoy every moment of it.
