Great for Negima fans
After playing a good portion of the game, I have to say that it's a fun little game for fans of Negima.

If you're fluent in Japanese (or at least have a good kanji reading level) there is a lot of story, making the games cut-scenes somewhat into a mini-manga. Unfortunately, for non-Japanese speakers/readers or those that rely heavily on furigana to read kanji, the story might be out of reach.

However, the gameplay itself is within reach of even the non-Japanese reader, and if you can read hiragana and katakana, even better. The card-battle system is fairly simple, yet reasonably fun and the floor layouts and puzzles aren't terribly hard to navigate.

All that being said, without understanding the story (personally I could read about a fifth of what was said, as my kanji knowledge is yet lacking) the non-Negima fan might not find much motivation to play. But then again, if you're looking at this you're probably already one of the Negima-initiated.

2ND NEGIMA GBA GAME HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!
BETTER THEN THE 1ST, THIS GAME IS SIMPLY AMAZING.

IT HAS BETTER GRAPHIC THEN THE FIRST AND SOUND ARE JUST AMAZING (IT'S LIKE REASONING TO PS1 GAME SOUND)

NO VOICE BUT STILL COOL.

GAME STYLE IS RPG CARD BATTLE AND YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW JAPANESE SINCE THIS GAME IS EASY TO LEARN.
