    P4A is a well-conceived fighter with all the potential to be a top class EVO selection. While the game is designed to be a bit button mashy it is still deep with strategy that allows anyone to have a fighting chance as long as they try to get better at the game. For those in Europe who waited patiently for it to grace their shores all the hype that came with the game is warranted.

    Some will likely find the presentation off-putting, and admittedly, it’s unusual finding a fighting game that takes so long between, y'know, fights, with a boatload of exposition and easily skippable nonsense breaking up the action. Voice acting is comparable with the majority of video game/anime stuff (meaning it’s largely annoying and diabolical, but oh well). However, it’s all well-presented, looks nice and most importantly, is a lot of fun to play. It’s a proficient interpretation of Persona’s world with Arc System’s beat em up smarts.
