As someone who has watched some anime over time, but has hardly kept up over the years, Kill la Kill is something new to me so walking into the world of this game is definitely a bit mind-boggling. There’s some seriously crazy/weird survival of the fittest mixed with schoolyard clique mixed with serious family issues stuff going on here, and while it is an entertaining roller coaster ride for the uninitiated it may be hard to follow. With the sheer volume of story told through animated and voice acted cut-scenes this is an experience catering first to fans of the series, without a doubt, and its gameplay takes a back seat. The good news is that when you finally do get down to playing while I could see where some button mashing could be effective the 3D arena fighting is surprisingly satisfying, though perhaps over the long term lacking in depth. If you’re a fan of the series my impression is that this title has gone all out to make you absolutely feel at home and happy. If you’re not, the impressive presentation may be more wasted on you leaving a title that can be fun for a while but doesn’t really stand up to the quality of play offered by other fighters already available on the system though.
