  6.5

  Fans looking for a fighting game with deep gameplay that rewards mastery of game mechanics best look elsewhere. Fans of the characters that just want to run amuck with them for awhile should be pleasantly diverted. At least for awhile.

  J-Stars Victory VS+ fumbles what should have been a glorious, celebratory experience. It’s combat is banal, its design is overcomplicated and its presentation is completely halfhearted. Even so, there’s a lot to be said for the pure fanservice of J-Stars Victory VS+. It’s disappointing in comparison to other manga-inspired fighters, sure, but it’s also the only place you can make your manga crossover dreams a reality, and for some that may be all they really need.

  As far as frenetic fighting goes, I can see this fitting the bill for a little while. It’s not my bag, but I can see the appeal somewhat for a group that just wants to go all-out with their favorite characters. That group will have to fight online, though, as only two players can play on one screen at a time.

  J-Stars Victory Vs+ accomplishes what it sets out to do. It is pure fan-service for fans of anime, most importantly the series it includes. The roster is massive, the special moves are insanely fun, and the fighting is great as long as you don’t take it too seriously. There is a ton to unlock and you can tell the developers knew the source material.

  Precious little of the Shonen Jump magic shines through the one-note fighting and poorly written story. It’s a shame, too, seeing as how diverse the character representation is (as opposed to focusing on the popular stuff). But even as a fan of Hunter x Hunter, Bleach, JoJo’s, and some of the other great series represented here, J-Stars Victory Vs.+ completely failed to ignite that fandom into a genuine desire to play.

  While I was expecting a bit more from developer Spike Chunsoft, it's still undeniably fun to unleash a team of Shonen Jump stars against each other. If you can overlook the slightly clunky combat mechanics and instead turn your brain off and focus on the fan service, you might enjoy your time with J-Stars Victory VS+.
