Rating	Description
out of 10
7.5	Presentation You’re going through a lot of text-heavy menus with little flair. I wish some CGI cutscenes didn’t go to in-game cutscenes to come back to CGI cutscenes.
8.0	Graphics The in-game environments can look so-so and NPCs could use a bit more detail, but the fights look great and the cutscenes are phenomenal.
7.5	Sound I have no idea what people are saying, but it sounds really good and I like the music. The one English voice in the game is terrible, however.
8.5	Gameplay You’re brutally beating people in the streets of Japan. It’s awesome, but it can feel stale at times. Toss in a bunch of other mini-games and side quests, and you’re set.
9.0	Lasting Appeal It took me 20 hours to beat the story and the stat screen said I had only done 11 percent of everything I could do. Adventure mode, premium playthrough, karaoke bars – all of this is there to explore.
8.5 Great	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
