Yu Yu Hakusho Dark Tournament is based on an anime series. Yusuke Urameshi, the main character, is a 14 year old. He was killed and brought back to life, and now is able to see ghosts.

The game puts Yusuke into an arena tournament fighting situation, with the familiar friends and foes from the show. There is a training mode to help you get started, and skirmish mode to practice your moves. Then there are arcade and dark tournament modes to get you into actual gameplay, moving through levels of difficulty.

You can't really compare the graphics in this game to other fighting games like Mortal Kombat. The point of Dark Tournament is to feel like you're immersed in the Yu Yu Hakusho world, and it does this quite nicely. The anime style and backgrounds are all very much of the Yu Yu Hakusho style. There are several different arenas to fight in, and many characters to choose from. Each character has his or her own style and look.

In addition to the basic fighting game, there is also a built in "token game". You earn tokens when you fight. You then move to the token game to use them. The token game is very much like a strategy card game, using a hexagonal based board. This addition makes the overall game much more long term. You have incentive to keep fighting, to earn tokens. Then in the token game you can build up your token stash to do better and better.

Definitely a game that any Yu Yu Hakusho fan will love, and play for a long time!

This gonna be great!

The last time Yu-yu Hakusho game I remembered was on Super Famicom (Super Nintendo). It was an awesome game because you could transform, shoot fireballs, etc. I considered it as a "game legend" of all games.

There was a similar game called "Ninku" for Sega Saturn. It was like Yu-yu hakusho 4 for Super Famicom. Unfortunately, the graphics and the attacks were not as good as Yu-yu hakusho. After that, no news about upcoming Yu-yu hakusho game.

I killed my time playing Tekken 4, VF, and DB budokai. I felt there was something missing on these games. Budokai was not as goood as the DB on Super Famicom, PS, and Sega Saturn. It couldn't block, avoid, or shoot the fireball back. My fighting game life was like hell ever since.

As I heard about Yu-yu hakusho game for PS2, I felt so happy. My 7 years of waiting has been answered. I hope this game will be great. Couldn't wait to buy and play this game.

finally,the yu-yu hakusho has come,to the ps2!

This game definately promises the YuYuHakusho action we now and love, the only thing i found frustrating about this game was that u have to defend constantly and takes some time to get used to how difficult it WILL be when u first get it, there r many scenes from the cartoon and can be fun, but if you want a really good not-so challenging fighting game, go for DBZ budokai (any #)
if u like yuyuhakusho then get this

You did pretty well, Atari.

When I rented this game, I hoped this would be a good fighting game, with a good fighting system, and unique characters. For the most part, I got what I wished for. There's more characters than you can shoot a spirit bullet at, and loads of environments and extras. I only had a few problems with this game. The fighting system needs work, and the token game was very difficult and an unnessesary device. Plus, parents might not let kids play this because of 1 little cutscene after your first fight with Younger Toguro. I will quote.
Yusuke (thinking): "Stupid Yusuke! You were so scared you couldn't even freakin' move! You idiot! He's gonna kick your stupid @$$!" Otherwise, this is the perfect game for YuYu Hakusho fans. A must-own.

this game rocks

if u don't have this game, u don't know what you're missing. yu yu hakusho dark tornament is the best game i've ever gotten. i like it because u can choose you're character in the arcade section of the game. in the dark tornament section u can't choose you're character, but the have tag team mode on some levels and u can choose the character u want that the tag team mode gives u. the game is based on the tv series. i hope u enjoyed reading my review

only for pure otaku

this game is very good for a hardcore otaku. anyone looking for a good fighting game, i would reccomend soul caliber 2. its a great party game but good otherwise. using the attacks of each individual person you can team up between 16 different people in the YYH world. but again, if your looking for a good fighting game i would go for the gold. a big fan of YYH should go for this game.

cool info!!
