I think the only anime game I really played a lot back then was the DBZ version of SNES.

.hack is too rpgish

Well it s an RPG ^^;

.hack is certainly one of the better anime games, but it's still not great. Once you get past the awe of haveing an offline "online" RPG, all it comes done to is dungeon crawling to find the next virus core. But then again, it carries on the story of the TV shows so if you can manage to sit through some repretitive gaming, and enjoyed the anime, then it's not so bad.

.hack is pretty good... well the story for the game. The gameplay however gets a bit repetitive after a while. .hack//gu should be really good. I'm looking forward to that.

Naurto 3 is a really good anime fighting game. Naurto 1 looks like a disgrace compared to 3.

A lot of them..and I mean A LOT of them..REALLY suck. I HATED the full metal alchemist games, and what was disappointing is that they were by Square-Enix =/.
But as stated earlier .hack was a pretty good game. I think it as because tehy didn't base the characters on it, but made a whole different story but using the same concept and place.

Yeah, some games based on anime shows can be pretty dissapointing and can be pretty much terrible.

Gundam Seed Never Ending Tomorrow: Gameplay is terrible. The organization is not well put. The gundam looks great, but everything else was just horrible. Recycled beam animemations. Freedoms beam weapons pretty much all look all the same when you fire and that applies pretty much for every mobile suit. The focused too much on the mobile suit and not everything else.

Battle Assault 3 with Gundam Seed: Gameplay was ok, but the voices are just Horrible! Graphics ok, but visible walls? Come on. There should be no walls blocking the enviornment of the stage. Everything else was either ok, or terrible.

Digimon World 1 and 2: Both wasn't good. Digimon world 1 was pretty much like a tomagochi but worse. Game play was ok but feeding it and such was such a pain. Digimon world 2 was ok but the loading takes forever. The voices wern't that good but some were ok.

So yeah. There are some great games that are based on anime shows and some are not. There are more games that aren't so great but some are really well done. Like .Hack game series, One Piece Grand Battle, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3, Budokai Tenkaichi(Hmm, this game is ok but not as good as budokai 3), and others. But I guess others have their opinon.

Of most of the anime/video games that i played DBZ games, only the newer ones, are good, theDOT Hack games are really good, make sure you look out for Dot Hack GU, it looks really good. Though i think as well that most of the anime/video games are bad, like Orphen, but it was interesting.

skh
There's also the Berserk game released a year and a half ago, on PlayStation 2. I played in in japanese, even if I didn't read it, but that's ok since the game follows the events of the manga pretty closely, except for a side story that was added. And the game is pretty good : the graphics are average, but all the characters and place are there, some musics are very good (the intro...), and the battles are very enjoyable, ans you really get the feeling you're holding Guts's huge sword, as it's sometimes hard to control. All in all, a very decent game.

Man, I totally forgot about that one, and I have it in my collection too. Lol! It actually a sorta sequel to the Berserk game that was released on the Dreamcast, which is also a good game.

Someone mentioned Gundam Side Story on the Dreamcast, very good game, but unfortunately we didn't get the expansion disc for it that came out in Japan.

Other notables I can think of:

Macross Do You Remember Love? (import) A fun horizontal shmup (shoot 'em up) released on the Saturn and PS1. Its best played on the Saturn as it plays better on it.

Macross Eternal Love Song (import) The Turbo Grafx16/PC Engine got a crap load of anime based games, but this is one of the best ones. Its Macross, its a turn based strategy game, and your main character is a purple-haired Zentradi woman.

Magic Knight Rayearth -Sega Saturn Do yourself a favor and get the import version, the voice overs are better and the game requires zero knowledge of Japanese to play. Its a wonderfully colorful action RPG that plays like Zelda. Each of the three girls travels along in a group and you can switch between them in order to use their individual skills to solve puzzels, etc.

Record of Lodoss War - Dreamcast: Its sorta a sequel on one hand, and a tie in on the other, the war is over, but Vagnard is still trying to resurrect Khardis. You play a nameless, amnesiac guy, who Wort calls back from the dead, and is played entirely on the Island of Marmo. Great English dub and it looks and plays like Diablo II. Only bad thing is it suffers nasty slowdown when the action heats up. Spoilage:

SPOILER (click to view)
best of all, your "nameless" guy is actually a young, resurrected Beld.

Yu Yu Hakusho (import) Mega Drive: I think this one was programmed by team Treasure (makers of Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, etc) it has a four player simultaneous free for all mode that is a blast to play.

Both the third Ranma 1/2 fighting game, and the third Dragonball Z game (also a fighter) for the import SNES are good games.

Both the Shaman King Master of Spirits games (not to be confused with the rpg/pokemon clone releases) are excellent. They play alot like Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, which blends action with soul collecting.

And for pc: Knights of Zentar This is an H (hentai) RPG. The Dragon Knight OVA is loosely based off of it, so it doesn't really belong in here, but I wanted to add it. If you can find this, now obscure, DOS based H-RPG, get the cd version, the English dialogue is hilarious.

Unfortunately, most companies completely ass out on anime based games, as they are usually meant to be a cash run, and due to this the game is usually totally worthless unless you are a rabid fan of the series it is based off of.
