Uminenko Ougon Musou Kyoku

Quite a good game I must say, the graphics are detailed, one is allowed to change the resolution to it's peak, & even has the acclaimed best soundtracks of Umineko.
Though there are slight problems:
1st. There is a player shortage, but that is being taken care of through updates so I turn a blind eye towards it.
2nd. The keyboard interface for this game is quite hard to get used to, & at that one would need a keyboard that can type multiple keys at once (though most today do), also the keys being side by side & unable to be changed is a problem, the only logical solution would be to buy a joystick like object (ps2 compatible remote or such). Though I am happy that this interface was added for poor users like myself who have a Windows 7 64-bit & aren't allowed to use PPjoy due to the unsigned driver.
3rd. I believe they could've leveled the playing field a bit more with the characters, for I find that some characters have more so huge than slight advantages in battle.

None-the-less, this is a spectacular game that SHOULD be bought for the  PC or XBox 360, or you could wait for the second one which will include Chiru & more of a cast, if you believe players are key (I do in terms of desiring Willard to be playable).
Anyways, if you like anime based fighting games with good graphics, this is a step in the right direction.
Note: After buying said game, you'll wish to go to the official game site to update with the patch. (as of now the patch is at v1.10 & is around 600mb {LARGE})
then you should look for the english boot thing (forget what it's called) & it allows you to ajust the simple resolution settings in English.

Final thing.
Turn on the Japanese language as your local for Win Vista & Win 7. For XP make sure you have the Eastern Asia pack installed.
