Quite Enjoyable This game is like, one of my dream games that i had always wished for, a cast with lots of female characters, being able to change the female cast's costume and etc.
The game got a pretty large cast so you can mix and match to you're liking. Another great feature about this game is that as you go further into the story, you can obtain costume for your female characters to change to which i reckon is pretty awesome. Some of the cutscenes are hilarious especially when they contain the Prinny (i love them prinnies).
The gameplay can be simple or complicated depending on how you wanna play. building up combos and doing special combo moves is pretty cool feature of the game.
I personally found the story somewhat disappointing because you get an abundance of characters joining your party at the same time, which doesn't give you an awful lot of time to enjoy each one but hey thats just me =].
Overall, the game is enjoyable and is recommended for people who are fans of JRPG or fans of the characters that is featured in the game. OH and if you do play, start off at Hard mode for abit of a challenge.

good game a game and engaging and exciting, with many characters and variety of attacks and spells, the graphics leave something to be desired, but recommend.

Could be better! The Crossovers, those meetings that mix characters from different universes, is the dream of every fan and have proven to be highly successful events, from comic to cinema, through the games as well. Capcom is a company that made school with that in their series of fighting mainly, as in "Marvel vs. Capcom, and now the Idea Factory to try too, but in an RPG.
The project was "Cross Edge," a very traditional game that features the characters York and Miko in a story beyond confusing which puts them in a kind of limbo blowing parallel dimensions and places them face to face with famous characters from other producers games. It is a plot completely senseless that serves as an excuse to dump heroes in games like Darkstalkers, "Disgaea", "Ar Tonelico," "Absolute Blazing", "Mana Khemia, Atelier Marie" and "Spectral Souls" without any criteria or care.
He was so eager to flood the game with a lot of people it is hard to understand who is doing what in the script, what are their motivations, dramas and purposes. It is a serious problem that dilutes the narrative and destroys the main asset of any game genre. Soon you if you press buttons to accelerate the dialogue and go straight to action, to see if things improve a little.
Struggles work in shifts, in which the player must use their points of attack to achieve the enemies scattered tables marked on the floor of the setting and switch between heroes quickly to amend combos. It is a combat system very robust, but it also suffers from the confusion of design. There is much to do, such as making items, exchange of clothes that give special powers and revenues to be discovered, to name a few things, but the interface is extremely polluted, difficult to navigate. Even the tutorial to get a little afraid to make a ridiculous amount of menus on the time to explain what to do.
If everything in the game seems too complex, you can not say the same presentation. There is a mixture of 2D graphics with old-fashioned 3D scenarios poor, without any kind of detail, and some uninspired dialogue - available in English and Japanese. All this running with a performance below the critical, even with the content installed on the hard disk of the device.
CONSIDERATIONS
"Cross Edge" seemed the dream of every fan of Japanese games, since it brings together characters from various games worshiped as "Darkstalkers", "Disgaea" and "Ar tonelico" in an RPG unique. But the final product is disappointing, with a troubled history, complicated interface and presentation too poor by today's standards.

Unique, but a must This game is rather unique simply because it grabs characters from not just multiple game worlds but also multiple game makers. This will not stop someone from playing if they haven't played the related games though as the game introduces the characters expecting you not to know.
Like all the related games this game also has 2D characters so fans will be able to enjoy to game with the characters as they originally seen. This also applies to a few of the monsters.
The gameplay is similar to "Enchanted Arms" with the grid for your allies and one for the enemies however the means of choosing commands is a bit restrictive but much more active and allows for both basic and special combos depending on how your characters are setup. This one aspect makes the battles more interesting and require more thought.
The story however was a bit lacking and, for the most part, simple. But those who don't mind a simple story or would like to see how the characters react to each other will like it. Also the finding where to go and any extras on the field can be a rather annoying task.
Overall, the game is a must for any fan of the related game, and a recommended for any other JRPG fan.

Must have for J-RPG Fans An interesting entry onto the PS3 platform, this RPG hybrid uses crossovers from some of the Japan's best developers to create a game full of fan-service. Look forward to appearances from Gust and Nippon Ichi, capcom, and dream factory.
With over 20 playable characters, and plently of free dlc including extra dungeons and free items, PS3 owners who enjoy a good japanese rpg shoud not miss this game
