Video Game Reviews of Jump Ultimate Stars Nintendo DS (Japanese version)
Customer Review: Fun Import
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first bought this game, I was a little cautious. The price was a little steep, but when I bought it, I had a lot of fun with it. The manga frame-based system works very well. If you understand Japanese fluently, you won't have a problem with this. However, theres no option for English, so you have to rely on guides(I used GameFAQs, which was very helpful).
Theres a wide variety of characters from a wide variety or manga (from Ichigo 100% to DBZ, theres a lot represented here). While the game is advertised as having over 300 characters, only 20 or so are playable, the rest are "support" and some are just there as to boost other characters. Theres a system involving gems used to "evolve" you characters, making them stronger (all these Evolutions relate to the mangas they're in, like Goku evolving into Super Saiyen 50 or w/e). Some of these characters suck to play as, and some are ridiculously overpowered, but that comes with every game.
The playable characters are organized by 3 attributes, Strength, Intelligence, and Laughter. These play out and have their weaknesses Rock Paper Scissors style (Str. beats Int. beats Laugh. beats Str). While this evens out the game a little, a lot of times its obvious who is going to win even though the game hasn't started yet, which can ruin it a bit.
Also, this game has an online function, but I think it requires you to be in japan, because I haven't gotten it to work yet. From what I understand, playing online reaps separate rewards, so if you can get online, you can get something out of it.
Overall, the system is a little complex when you first start, but once you get used to it, it becomes easy to understand and apply, and even though I didn't get the online feature to work, It could be different for others who bought this.
Description of Jump Ultimate Stars Nintendo DS (Japanese version)
Jump Ultimate Stars is the sequel to one of the best selling games of 2005, Jump Super Stars. It is the second collaboration between Nintendo of Japan and Jump magazine, this time incorporating 300 characters from 40 Shonen Jump properties. The "Koma" battle system will still be used in this sequel with the original 4-by-5 grid and touch screen support. However a number of improvements have been made, including calling support characters into battle via L/R button, without using the touchpad. Characters can now cling on to ledges when falling adjacent to them and some of the stages include areas that can be reached by destroying walls, even the floor and ceiling. As another major improvement, Jump Ultimate Stars now supports Wi-Fi battles, which allows gamers all around the world to combat against each other.Action Games
