But Persona 4's graphics have always been more functional than pretty, opting to focus on style and substance rather than pure flash. It's tempting to pick Persona 4 Golden here, since it really is a great looking game on the Vita. Shame there aren't more games like it (sorry, Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage doesn't really count).
With so many anime-style games hewing to one particular look, it's kind of nice to see an anime game that evokes the feel of Shonen Jump circa the mid-80s. It's all in good fun and more importantly, it's unique. In keeping with that tradition, Asura's Wrath has its share of attacks capable of knocking Earth off its axis and swords that are 300,000 miles long. The visual style is reminiscent of the old Fist of the North Star anime, even featuring a god that can punch at high speeds with what looks like a dozen or more arms.
But that doesn't diminish the fact that it's still fun as hell to look at. Asura's WrathĪlright, one thing that should be made clear from the very beginning - Asura's Wrath is not what one would call a "good game." It actually has more in common with the old FMV games of the 90s than anything, relying heavily on quicktime events and lengthy cutscenes to get its points across. We shall see for ourselves whenever it's released in the U.S.

Interestingly, it was recently released in Japan for mobile devices a poor replacement for a full HD upgrade, perhaps, but it ought to look decent on the iPad. If there's any game that's really crying out for an HD remake though, this would definitely be it.

Dragon Quest VIII is nearly a decade old now, but it still looks quite good for a PS2 game, even when played on a high-definition television. Monsters like the Slime in particular really stand out - all of them brimming with life and personality, despite being little more than cannon fodder. Yes, it's true that Akira Toriyama's art can be a bit of an acquired taste - particularly if you're not a big Dragon Ball fan - but there's no denying that it's at least interesting to look at. Dragon Quest VIII was the proto-Ni no Kuni - another JRPG with outstanding cel-shading and unique art. As long as we're talking about on Level-5, it's certainly worth mentioning one of the best-looking games on the PlayStation 2.
