Project X Zone is a strategy role-playing game that brings together characters from an assortment of Sega, Namco Bandai and Capcom franchises. That means you'll find Dead Rising's Frank West fighting alongside Virtua Fighter and Tekken characters. It's fun to see who's going to pop up next in the parade of cameos (although Bruno Delinger from the Japanese version of Dreamcast game Die Hard Arcade will conjure rose-tinted memories for relatively few) and the animations of its lightly tactical turn-based battles are amusingly spectacular. However, there's too little to do in fights and only poorly translated conversations for company.
