More than 20 female fighters, including three completely new combatants, head for Japan to compete for control of three rumored wish-granting stones in Arcana Heart 3. All of the characters have unique fighting styles, but what sets the Arcana Heart series apart from other 2D fighting games is that 23 different Arcana spirits can also be attached to each fighter, giving gamers more than 500 ways to fight. The game's "Story" mode features fully voiced dialog and anime cut-scenes, and players can also choose the "Score Attack" or "Training" modes, while the new "Simple" mode was designed to make things easier on inexperienced gamers by mapping major functions to single buttons. Multiplayer fans can also test their skills, competing online in ranked matches and watching full replays of previous fights. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
