Before you play this game I strongly suggest you watch season 2 of Yu Yu Hakusho (watching season 1 as well but you won't miss much if you don't). (on a side note I'll be rating this for those who have watched Yu Yu Hakusho if you haven't and you play this expect it to be not as interesting and a very choppy story)
Overall: 9,great game and a must for all the Yu Yu Hakusho lovers out there
Graphics: 9 great considering its a GBA reminds me of the "Eragon" game (only graphics, believe me, you wont start thinking the design team got drunk and partied the budget away) and the clips are TV quality and are from the anime
Sound: 4 I found it to be ok, but I would have preferred them to play the music from the anime, after about 30min you'll probably will want to turn it off
Addictiveness:9 I found it very addictive and enjoyable (maybe unusual, but I beat the game in 2 sitting of 5 hours each, man time really flies by ^^)
Story:10 by far the best thing in the game if you loved the season you'll get a great kick out of it and the overdrive clip(ex. Overdrive spirit shotgun for the masked fighter) mainly for the nostalgia it brings from the clips of "The best season of Yu Yu Hakusho"(season 2 of course ^^)
Depth: 8 after you beat the game, you can max your characters stats (tips on power leveling and other things at the end), beat the bonus area,pick up 2 more character if you didn't as soon as they were unlocked, get the best items, find the best team combination (mines Hiei,Yusuke Urameshi, Masked Fighter, Kurama, (Yukina,or Chu depending on circumstances), try to hit 5 stars on Yusuke, and finally (gasp) try to do to do the biggest amount of damage you can in 1hit (6k for me do to dragon summon^^)
Difficulty: 4 despite the anime having language, drinking, blood, gore, violence and sexual innuendos, the game itself is quite sterilized with the difficulty to match. It feels like the game is meant for people who are 6(no offense to those 6 year-olds reading this) after you maxed stats you need a little strategy (attack from behind, only focus on the target for pursuit, and take out the floodgates quickly, etc..) and common sense. If your losing, odds are your have no clue what your doing and your only using spirit sword (jeez Kuwabara get serious....=).
Thank you for reading my review hope you got something from it and don't forget to rate my review^^
"Random tips just because I feel like it" section:
1. As soon as you can replace the masked fighter first (seriously you'll lose fighter before you get to the serious bosses and wont get the fighter back until you beat Toguro then level him up as quickly as possible as the fighter is one of the best you can get) and Kuwabara second (he just truly sucks and it really starts to stand out fast)
2.for quick leveling you'll need 1 Hiei with dragon summon and some really good movement, the go the the latest pursuit challenge u can(its the one with the demon you need to kill in the red track suit). You should be able the 1 shot the demon around 5 times in a minute with the speed button). Bingo really fast leveling
3. Always try to take out the goals first (track suit or floodgates,**WARNING** later on you may not be able to damage then so instead have a character stand on each of the red squares this will prevent demon spawns until the floodgates fade) then go for heavy damages first then tanks second. Also ALWAYS try to attack from behind as this will drastically increase the damage this (includes ranged moves such as the spirit gun but you must be in their row or column or it will just count as side damage) then try to attack from sides and at the front if you have no other option.
3.Having trouble? Remember to use you items these can either restore up to your max health, life energy, cure poisons, toxins, and do various damage moves for no spirit energy(ex. Shock ring, rock ring, and poison dart), it can also restore team health or energy(you can get these at the bonus area)
4.the bonus area is unlocked by beating Toguro and talking to the boat captain at that weird area after the ocean shore area.
5. Make sure to do all the unlocked areas as these unlock two additional characters (there both not great but you might as well).
Well that's all, now go and like Kuwabara, fight like a man.^^
