"Ah. No need to take turns now"

Valkyrie Profile Fans will enjoy this PC game for sure, unless they only like to take turns or just hate fighting games. Other than that, this game is very fun and enjoyable.

Gameplay 10/10

Just imagine playing Valkyrie Profile without taking turns. You choose 2 fighters (ex. Lenneth and Freya) and take them into battle. During that battle one partner may tag out so the other one can jump right into the action. The characters have their own moves from the hit video game, and are sometimes easy to perform. With some practice, you'll be beating the computer down in no time. However, when you first pick this up and start playing it, you might be getting a beatdown right away. Thats because the computer can be uber cheap or just really good and gets very lucky. The AI has the tendency to do many combos to you on the ground, knock you in the air and may just continue his killing spree on you, and if lucky kill you in one setting. However, once you really get the hang of it, you will be able to do the same. You may get fustrated, but in some cases that will make you want to play it more. There is also a 2 player mode, Practice mode, Survival mode, and Time Attack mode.

Graphics 10/10

If you loved the 2-D graphics in the RPG game, the graphics shouldnt bother you much at all. The background are alright, and the characters look like the way they should.

Sound 9/10

This game would be perfect if it had voices, but it doesnt, and that wouldve made this game great if it did. However the sound effects are just like the game itself. The music is also carried over from the game but arranged but its still cool.

Story 10/10

Its the same story from the RPG game.

Replay Value: depends

If you enjoy fighting games it may be a while before you get tired of this one. However if you're one of those people who just discard fighting games after playing them one time through then you may get bored of this after you beat it.

BUY or RENT?

More like download because I doubt it you'll find it anywhere now.

So, VP fans, I hope you consider playing the game thanks to my review.
