Which one? SAO? It has some problems, but the battle system is actually pretty cool. They went in and essentially figured out what the SAO game in the anime actually worked like, and implemented that.

The problems break down into: Translation, and the out-of-battle stuff.

The translation is atrocious. What the characters say is conveyed, for the most part, but you sort of have to interpret what they're saying, rather than taking it at face value.

Similarly, the tutorials are just help screens that point to different things and say what they do, and coupled with that translation means you pretty much have to guess wtf is going on...but once that's figured out, it's neat.


Out of battle, it's got some kind of crappy dating sim thing going on, with Kirito having himself a harem all vying for his attention. (Which is extra weird, given he's already married to Asuna at this point.)


Also, there's a new, updated version coming out for PS4 (or maybe already out), if you have one of those. I saw some clips of it. MUCH prettier.
