Great nostalgic and classic game! But this game is good for only those who understand Saint Seiya. I played and watched Saint Seiya games/anime since I was 10–11 years old which is more than 20 years ago. Played the 1st and 2nd Saint Seiya games on NES/Famicom system. Then played it on PS1 and 2 systems, and now I m glad it comes out on PS3. I want to give it 5 stars, but there are 3 problems that prevent me for giving it 5 stars.

1. The camera angle problem. There is no free camera control, or at least I have no clue how to control the camera. I already switched to custom control, but there is no option for it. Usually the camera control is on the right stick, but right stick does nothing! A 3D fighting/action Dynasty Warriors style game without camera control– Come on, thats just so EPIC FAIL!!
2. The lack of battle animation like Naruto Ninja Storm. The fight is similar to Bleach which is pretty disappointing. Just smashing buttons, hit and run tactic to beat bosses is just boring.
3. The new DLC characters that can be bought from PSN are VERY EXPENSIVE!! I think there r 6 DLC characters total, and each 1 is $10!!! Geezus!! So basically $60 to get complete characters…ri­iiiiight!!!! That is sooooo rip off!! I dont think I m gonna buy even 1 of them.

Overall, this game is ok. Just some problems I mentioned above. If u not sure, rent it first or borrow from friends or watch it on YouTube before buying it.

The picture is awesome, the gameplay is faithful to the original, and it strikes the perfect balance between the anime's conver­sation-driven story and a PS3 game's fast-paced action. If you like Dynasty Warrior, you'll like this. If you like Saint Seiya series, you'll love this!
