4.0 out of 5 stars The amount of enjoyment depends on the person who is playing
Lately I've come across quite a few people who have criticized this game, and then I have also come across quite a few people who have backlashed those remarks saying the game is awesome. Well, which one is it? Does it suck or does it rock?

It's both. (now onto the actual review)

This game has bad graphics. It's easy to beat (thus offering no challenge) and you...

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS GAME SHOULD ROT SIX FEET UNDER
Worst game ever. Don't let the other reviews fool you. These people who gave it 5 stars never even PLAYED it. -_-;; They're just yuyu fans like me who looked forward to this game before they got it. I purchased it because of all the 'good' reviews. A poor choice for me and at that time, it cost me 30 bucks. >:|

4.0 out of 5 stars The amount of enjoyment depends on the person who is playing, December 18, 2003
This review is from: Yu-Yu Hakusho: Spirit Detective (Video Game)
Lately I've come across quite a few people who have criticized this game, and then I have also come across quite a few people who have backlashed those remarks saying the game is awesome. Well, which one is it? Does it suck or does it rock?

It's both. (now onto the actual review)

This game has bad graphics. It's easy to beat (thus offering no challenge) and you don't have a wide assortment of weapons. It can also get extremely repetitive, espeically during fight scenes.

But, despite all these flaws, I still love this game. Why, you ask? Because, simply put, I love Yu Yu Hakusho. Wether or not the quality of the game sucks matters not to me, because "Ohmygawd! It's Yu Yu Hakusho! Kurama! Wai!"

Well, you get the point. ^^;

So here is my reccomendation for this game.

If you have little to no interest in the Yu Yu Hakusho anime, this game is NOT for you. You will be bored to tears by the 3rd level and wondering why the heck you wasted $30 on this peice of crap.

BUT, if you're a fan of Yu Yu Hakusho....if you get excited my the mere prospect of playing as one of your favorite characters, and if you find yourself enthusiastically reading along with the dialouge (complete with your own renditon of Botan's British accent), the this game IS for you.

From an enjoyment scale of 1-5...

It has mediocre graphics, the same songs are played over and over again, and it's rather boring. The controls aren't that great either.

By A Customer
This review is from: Yu-Yu Hakusho: Spirit Detective (Video Game)
I bought this game on December 6th and I beat this game in less than 10 hours.The graphics are good and the sound is cool.You can unlock the Dark Tournament and use Gen Kai.There are alot of levels in this game and you get to verse a lot of bosses.Togoro is the hardest and this game is challenging when it gets to some bosses.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy only for collection if you're a Yu Yu fanatic, June 4, 2006

Iczard "Iczard" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Yu-Yu Hakusho: Spirit Detective (Video Game)
It's not too much of fun but it does go with the story line in the animation, some of the puzzle gets a bit annoying and it sucks cause you can't use more than 1 character at the same time. But I just buy it for collection only, so if you want to collect Yu Yu stuff, wait till this game is dirt cheap then buy it. I also have the other YuYu Tournament Tactic, now that's a 5 star.

2.0 out of 5 stars From a die-hard fangirl, February 8, 2006
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Yu-Yu Hakusho: Spirit Detective (Video Game)
Okay, I'm a die-hard,obsessive-compulsive Yu Yu Hakusho fan. I heard there was a Yu Yu Hakusho game and therefore, my Kurama-fangirl instincts told me to go buy it.

How incredibly disappointing.

As a biased fan, even, I started playing the game. When this originally came out, I still had a Gameboy Advance, and after about an hour, I'd spent so much time following this tiny compass at the bottom of the screen around this huge town area, my thumb was sore, and I hadn't even gotten to fight anyone yet.

You don't get any other really good characters until later, and the first few things you do get really old after a while, because you can't save until after you finish the first few mind-numbing tasks. If you die by doing something stupid, you start ALL over again. I kept dieing at some point, and I went through the same few scenes so many times, I literally know the dialogue by heart.

The graphics are nothing special for a gameboy game; really, they are about average at most. You get really tired of them after a while, and you have the same background scenery about 80% of the time. (I swear I walked past this one couch as Keiko about 30 trillion times.)

Either way, while Yu Yu Hakusho is a great series to get into and a great manga as well, I would not recommend the game.

(And if I see Kurama die anymore, I might have a breakdown...)

1.0 out of 5 stars >#_#<, January 23, 2004
This review is from: Yu-Yu Hakusho: Spirit Detective (Video Game)
Well, the graphics were pretty good, but the game was way too easy. I only died twice and that included the fight using Genkai.
It definitely wasn't worth the amount I paid for it.
