Somehow, Digifloyd actually got WORSE from the jump to PS2. While the game controls much better than Ryuki, gameplay is now totally unsalvagable. Health bars are so small that fights don't take long, but the vast majority is filled by attack animations that take way too long.

Seriously, it takes over 5 entire seconds for a character to DRAW A SWORD. And the super attack animations are agonisingly long just to build up to a button mash contest. If the opponent button mashes more than you, they DODGE THE ATTACK AND TAKE NO DAMAGE.

The music is generic, but OK. It has a couple of vocal tracks from the show...including one that ALWAYS PLAYS INDEFINITELY whenever you have your super ready, which takes no less than 10 seconds of combos. Enjoy hearing that song on loop for ages!

Also, no story mode whatsoever, guess the devs gave up. Card collecting is back, and done by a horrendous slot machine that only gives you PIECES of the cards, which are (mostly) the only way to unlock characters. You also have to beat Arcade Mode with Faiz SIX TIMES to unlock his final form.

This game is awful all round, especially the janky animations and lazy visuals. Don't play, even if you like the show.
