Catalogue No. -  T-32506G

 TGL are not really known for their great games but they do have a cult following like many crappy Japanese game companies do.  Advanced VG comes in slightly above that crappy game company image but only just. The Saturn has it’s fair share of girly fighters being Sonic Council, Pretty Fighter X, Asuka 120% Burning Feast , Sailormoon SuperS and the piss poor Fist. So how does Advanced VG stand up to those? Well, it’s certainly no Asuka 120% but it’s not as bad as Pretty Fighter X either. Graphically it’s not much of an improvement over the original Super Famicom version apart from bigger sprites. The animation seems just as poor as do the backgrounds. However the Saturn version does have much better cut scenes but even these are poor for what a Saturn can do. Playability wise this is also a bit of a dud with only the most basic of moves available and hardly any combinations. Sound wise it’s not too bad I guess but I still wouldn’t listen to the music on it’s own apart from the opening and intro themes.

To be honest I wouldn’t bother getting this unless you’re a sucker for girly fighters or just want it for collection purposes. Even with a Story mode (that’s annoying because you can’t skip anything) this isn’t going to keep you entertained for long.

This version I have is the limited edition box set which comes with a jigsaw puzzle and is a whopping 25 cm x 32 cm in size. Below you can see just how big it is compared to the standard CD case.
