Return to the action with Persona 4: Arena from Atlus and Arc System Works on the PlayStation 3 (PS3), and pick up the story where the events of Persona 4 left off. Set two months after its predecessor, the game focuses on the disappearance of Teddie in Inaba and the efforts of his friends to find him, ultimately leading them to the P-1 Grand Prix tournament. Play through an engaging and immersive storyline complete with anime cut scenes from the Persona Team. There are 13 characters in total, extending beyond those featured in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 to include fan favorites from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 as well. With unique stories to unravel for each of the characters, the game offers hours of RPG fun. A new fighting system in Persona 4: Arena combines characters with their individual Personas, each of whom have independent health gauges. Throw the powers of each at the opponent simultaneously, and combine special attacks into combos, adding a strategic dimension to the game. Moves are taken from earlier Persona games along with status effects like confusion, paralysis, poison and fear. Controls are intuitive and simple while allowing for custom combos and imaginative deployments. Combos can be executed with a single button, for example, leveling the playing field between new players and skilled veterans. Special moves are also simpler to input, while the range of counterattacks and combo interruptions has been expanded. A “dodge” move has also been added to the “block” function from other games to add variety to game play. As another forgiving feature for newcomers to the game, as well as an added challenge to advanced players, characters and Personas become more powerful the closer they are to getting knocked out. Persona 4: Arena for the PS3 is packed with varied game modes to provide excellent replay value for when the main story has been completed. In addition to Story Mode, which has players complete the story from the perspective of one character at a time, Arcade Mode pits players against characters that are each more challenging than the last in classic Arcade fashion. Score Attack mode emphasizes speed and dexterity as players are challenged to show off their moves through a series of opponents. Training mode encourages practice against a CPU opponent with a custom skill rating, focusing on executing tough combinations with none of the pressure of the other game modes. Challenge mode is another combo training environment, while Lesson mode is intended for absolute beginners, introducing players to the features and techniques of the new fighting system. Multiplayer games are key in Persona 4: Arena, which was also released by Atlus for the Xbox 360, and players have the option to play offline against friends or computer-controlled opponents or online against players around the world. Also upgrade with a wide array of downloadable content via the Contents Market online marketplace and discover artwork and music and watch battle replays in the Replay Theatre & Gallery mode. Packed to the gills with game modes, characters, and all-new fighting features, Persona 4: Arena for the PS3 is a solid addition to the other games in the series. Developed by Atlus and Arc System Works, the game has enjoyed top ratings and enduring popularity across the PlayStation 3, arcade, and Xbox 360 platforms since its release in 2012.
