When I first bought this game, I was a little cautious. The price was a little steep, but when I bought it, I had a lot of fun with it. The manga frame-based system works very well. If you understand Japanese fluently, you won't have a problem with this. However, theres no option for English, so you have to rely on guides(I used GameFAQs, which was very helpful).

Theres a wide variety of characters from a wide variety or manga (from Ichigo 100% to DBZ, theres a lot represented here). While the game is advertised as having over 300 characters, only 20 or so are playable, the rest are "support" and some are just there as to boost other characters. Theres a system involving gems used to "evolve" you characters, making them stronger (all these Evolutions relate to the mangas they're in, like Goku evolving into Super Saiyen 50 or w/e). Some of these characters suck to play as, and some are ridiculously overpowered, but that comes with every game.

The playable characters are organized by 3 attributes, Strength, Intelligence, and Laughter. These play out and have their weaknesses Rock Paper Scissors style (Str. beats Int. beats Laugh. beats Str). While this evens out the game a little, a lot of times its obvious who is going to win even though the game hasn't started yet, which can ruin it a bit.

Also, this game has an online function, but I think it requires you to be in japan, because I haven't gotten it to work yet. From what I understand, playing online reaps separate rewards, so if you can get online, you can get something out of it.

Overall, the system is a little complex when you first start, but once you get used to it, it becomes easy to understand and apply, and even though I didn't get the online feature to work, It could be different for others who bought this.

Best DS game I've played so far

Over all a very good game. Stays true to Jump and is very good for anyone who is big fan. At first it is hard to get through the Japanese but its worth it!

Enjoyable for any shonen lover

This game really isn't that fun. I tried it after reading all the reviews on Amazon, and it seemed like it would be a great game -- but really ... it's not. All you do is fight someone and then you get to the next level. There's nothing that fancy. If you just stand next to them and keep hitting the 'A' button on your DS, they'll die in a few seconds and then you just go to the next stage. Pretttty boring.

Jump Ultimate Stars is GREAT!!!

the greatest portable game in existence, if your lucky enough to get it , know that you have a treasure, and for those who say "lets wait till it gets released in english" thnik again, copy right laws prohibit it from ever happening, there are too many series to import.
Oh and if you do get it find a good guide and you will enjoy yourself
p.s. ann luu is confused you dont play the story mode for fun, its omly for unlocking characters , he or she or it has to play wi-fi, then u will see what the hypes about, when u do plez fix your review, btw guys,
anyone who gets it when u post a review post your friend code here too.
Some amy not understand at first but the games purpose is to unlock characters and battle ppls around the world on wi-fi, and if your a video game and anime lover, plus u want a good challenge go for it, email me at mapleball@hotmail.com il help out anyway i can.

Wonderful! Leagues better than the first!

My friend and I purchased this game together and have enjoyed every minute of it. Shonen Jump's entire collection is put together in one awesome battle arena to prove who's the best. The concept of the game is to do specific tasks in different world, most of which are Series specific worlds, (ie. Bleach World, One Piece World, etc.) and when you complete these tasks you either earn "points" or characters. The goal of the game is to unlock all of the characters and then buy up all of their forms. With these characters you design teams on a 4X5 panel system. For this system you have to put in at least one playable character(4-8 panels), one support character (2-3 panels), and one help character (1 panel). You must also select one of your playable characters as a leader, even just the one, in order to be able to play with the team.

Now let me be frank, the worlds do not provide enough points to unlock all characters (there just aren't enough worlds to provide points for over 300 characters!!!). So, when you're finished with unlocking everything you go to ranking mode! There are only three types of ranking mode originally, with 20 levels to beat, each. These three modes are: point mode(kill enough times to earn more points than other opponents), "death" mode(this is where you must become the last one standing! You'll probably love this mode best;)) and finally star mode(collect the most or all 5 stars before time runs out). If you tie on these modes are fail to kill everyone you enter "sudden death" where each leader is forced to fight until only one is left, hopefully that's you.

After beating all three types, you earn tournament mode where any of the three types could appear, you'll never know which is to be done until you're in the battle. Keep repeating these modes to earn enough points to buy all your characters' forms.

After you've finished unlocking your over 300 characters you can enjoy building thousands of combinations and battling online or against friends.

Personal Opinion: As a true otaku, I found this to be a nerdgasm of fun.

Gamer Opinion: It's got just about everything you could want from a gaming piont of view, collect stars or just DESTROY THEM ALL!!!!!
Truly, it deserves 6 stars. I hope you enjoy this game, buy it!
