I really just wanted to play the second game since that is the one i remember from my childhood but reddit convinced me that I should experience this one first. That was probably the worst take I've ever heard as this was not worth the time it took to finish.
The gameplay is cool as a proof of concept but this definitely shows its age as the controls were almost unbearable as to how klunky they were. The game itself was so incredibly repetitive I should've just stopped around the 5th assassination and watched a summary on YouTube.
It's honestly a shame since I think the story was interesting for the most part but there was no way it needed to be surrounded by so many long repetitive sequences for hours on end.
I would recommend watching a summary video on YouTube instead as the story seems important to the now 12 games or whatever but do not go through the game as it was not worth it.

I remember really liking this game back when I was in high school even though I only got half way. I had it on the hardest difficulty and turned off the Vita-Chambers so every big daddy was a puzzle in itself. I had to harvest every little sister just to keep up.
I was finally able to beat the game and I started over from the beginning again this time on PC. I still had it on the hardest difficulty but had the Vita-Chambers ON this time. I think with the Vita-Chambers ON this game is a different experience. The game is very hard but also being able to be revived like nothing happened makes the way you approach the combat very different. There is definitely less meaningful combat this way and I think it kinda ruined the game for me. It's unfortunate but I don't have the same amount of free time as I once did to properly enjoy this game to its fullest.
Overall I'm glad that I came back and finished this one even though I don't think this game has aged as nicely as I would have liked it to.

This game was great and probably one of my favorite experiences on the PS3. Having imported my character from the first game felt very cool especially because it seemed like my experience of the game was different than the people I have talked with about it.
All the characters are great and building everyone up for the final part was very memorable as the stakes were at an all time high and I didn't want to lose anybody on the final mission.

Such a fun time for a casual fighting game. Having played the previous games, this is the version to play with friends. I appreciate the conciseness of telling the story since I didn't watch or read shippuden; even though the story in this is worse that the previous versions since its just told through a glorified slideshow.

When I used to visit my family for weeks every summer there was not a whole lot to do. The saving grace was my Aunt who used to drop off a dreamcast with a bunch of games for me to play during that time. This was one of the games that she had.
I played this game a whole lot during that time and I specifically remember the first couple levels very fondly. I never did end up beating it however since I never had a memory card. I got pretty close one time but had to turn the console off. I ended up watching a streamer named brutalmoose play through it on one of his streams to the finish.
