    Feeling like becoming the main character of your own anime?

    Fun battles and great anime presentation make for a worthwhile, but not superb, experience.

    By YoBrandino | Review Date: Jan 06, 2011 | WII

    This is definitely a more unique game. It is broken up into episodes, and each episode is broken up into acts. Generally there are three acts per episode. The first two acts focus on the story and plot as well as your in... Read Full Review

    Finally, something different! A must play for fans of Role-Playing Games.

    By Force360 | Review Date: Dec 17, 2010 | PS2

    It would seem over the years that role-playing games have lost their touch, whether it is the plot, interesting characters, gameplay, originality, etc.. But this game has all of these elements, and is definitely worth pl... Read Full Review

    This game has quite a lot of love in it (and mechs!). My DarkZero review of Sakura Wars

    By Domstercool | Review Date: Aug 08, 2010 | WII

    The Sakura Wars franchise is a series that I'd heard plenty about, but have never been able to play because the entire series was exclusive to Japan. It's a strange predicament because the franchise is developed and publ... Read Full Review

    A hidden gem! Any fan of great characters, good stories, and RPGs need to play this game!

    By Amartelle | Review Date: Jun 11, 2010 | PS2

    Sakura Wars is one of the best RPGs I have played, and I'm an RPG fanatic. Sakura Wars takes place in New York during the late 20's-with giant robots that battle the dark forces. Background story-Shinjuro Taiga, the ma... Read Full Review

    For anime/dating sim fans only.

    By mjemirzian | Review Date: May 15, 2010 | WII

    Sakura Wars main claim to fame is that its combat system is the precursor to Valkyria Chronicles. It features a very similar movement and attack system, although turn order is based on speed stats and enemies don't attac... Read Full Review

    A hidden gem that merges dating sim elements with strategy rpg elements with a successful result.

    By mazongo | Review Date: May 05, 2010 | WII

    Dating sims are something that isnt quite well received here in the west, though it is a pretty big deal in japan. Sakura Wars is probably the first one to take the valiant step to be released outside of japan and it is ... Read Full Review

    By kyrosuke | Review Date: Apr 28, 2010 | WII

    Well I'm new when it comes to the Sakura Wars games, and I'm glad to say that this game really surprised me. Though I do agree, anyone who has watched the trailer for this game would probably see it as annoying. Wh... Read Full Review

    This game is way too underlooked.

    By doombringer175 | Review Date: Apr 27, 2010 | WII

    In most of my games one must sacrifice story, gameplay, or longevity. Examples: Animal Crossing is fun in short bursts, but given time it starts to get tedius. To be honest none of my games have a deep storyline. and mos... Read Full Review
