Having had Saint Seya (PS3), he was obliged to take this one. The story mode (legend of the cosmos) is great. It includes the history Hades, Poseidon, Asgard and sanctuary (the sanctuary being the content of the old game on PS3). The story mode ends in about 8:30 (from sanctuary to Hades). The Golden battle mode is superb! you fight as a golden Knight on 3 "bearings", once the third fight successful you fight your double... If you lose against your double all the flames of this character that were blue again turn red. I made my record of combos in this mode with "Shaka" (divine armor of the Virgin), with 60 hits... that I'm not about to redo it so soon. Survival mode is cool too, you have the choice between 3 opponents per "laps", once lost you lose all your points obtained. Bronze level (easy), you have 3 fights. Silver level you have 5 fights. The silver level I finished it with "Shun" (Golden Armor of the Virgin) by choosing only the opponents whose victories brought the most points. The tournament mode is great! You can make a tournament against an AI (easy level,...). I finished the bronze mode (easy) without real difficulties with "Shun" (Golden Armor of the Virgin). The multiplayer mode is a bit Boff... It's the same as SCV on PS3 (for operation, at the same time these are two Bandaï games...) or DOA5 last round on PC (not too many players...). I did 20 minutes in this mode, impossible to find players in "ranked match", but a few players in "quick match". The ribs collection of the outfits (armor) and characters of the series me plunges in childhood... the time when we played with these little figurines with their armor.... for only 3GB of space on the hard drive, the game is super full (would just Miss Saint Seiya Omega, and "Saintia shō") and very loyal to the series. the fights are much easier to take in hand than Naruto shippuden or Dragon Ball (provided you do the tutorial of the training mode that explains very well the basics of the game with for instructor marine) and much better than the game of the time on PS3. There are only 4 female characters (Athena, Hilda, marine and Shina), the others are androgins (man confounding to a woman like the Golden Knight of fish). So for the nostalgic and fan of the series it's super interesting because in one game you will have 90% of the contents of the liscence "the Knights of the zodiaques" (there is not the version "Omega" which is a version "ADO" that would happen after the episode Hades , and "Saintia Shõ" which is a version with warriors in Zodiac armor available in manga). Otherwise, if you like games like "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja storm" (PC/PS3) or "bleach: soul resurreccion" (PS3), it might also suit you.
