I had seen the movie a few years before buying this game, but I still wasnt sure to expect. Something that is slightly annoying at first is that its not 3-D graphics, its more side-scrolling, which is annoying because if it was 3d this game would have been a lot better, but forget about the graphics for now. You play as Jen who has stolen a sword called green destiny (thats as much of the story i understand) but dont buy this for a good story, because its far more about the gameplay. At first yo basicallly go around the backstreets of Japan, killing enemies, at first the only way you can kill your enemies is by tapping the a button, and she just swings her arm at them, but after your enemy dies, you get a little star that upgrades your `Zen` bar. When teh bar is full you can do super moves. There are the same wierd moves as the movie, when you can jump onto a wall and run up it (sort of). And you can even jump onto trees in a level, and also skim across water! The game is hard, and the bosses at the end of each set of levels get a bit annoying, but if you want a few weeks of good fun, buy this.
