Fun battles and great anime presentation make for a worthwhile, but not superb, experience.

By YoBrandino | Review Date: Jan 06, 2011 | WII

This is definitely a more unique game. It is broken up into episodes, and each episode is broken up into acts. Generally there are three acts per episode. The first two acts focus on the story and plot as well as your in... Read Full Review

This game has quite a lot of love in it (and mechs!). My DarkZero review of Sakura Wars

By Domstercool | Review Date: Aug 08, 2010 | WII

The Sakura Wars franchise is a series that I'd heard plenty about, but have never been able to play because the entire series was exclusive to Japan. It's a strange predicament because the franchise is developed and publ... Read Full Review

A hidden gem! Any fan of great characters, good stories, and RPGs need to play this game!

By Amartelle | Review Date: Jun 11, 2010 | PS2

Sakura Wars main claim to fame is that its combat system is the precursor to Valkyria Chronicles. It features a very similar movement and attack system, although turn order is based on speed stats and enemies don't attac... Read Full Review

A hidden gem that merges dating sim elements with strategy rpg elements with a successful result.

By mazongo | Review Date: May 05, 2010 | WII

Dating sims are something that isnt quite well received here in the west, though it is a pretty big deal in japan. Sakura Wars is probably the first one to take the valiant step to be released outside of japan and it is ... Read Full Review

Well I'm new when it comes to the Sakura Wars games, and I'm glad to say that this game really surprised me. Though I do agree, anyone who has watched the trailer for this game would probably see it as annoying. Wh... Read Full Review

This game is way too underlooked.

In most of my games one must sacrifice story, gameplay, or longevity. Examples: Animal Crossing is fun in short bursts, but given time it starts to get tedius. To be honest none of my games have a deep storyline. and mos... Read Full Review
