This game is no doubt from the popular anime Attack on Titan. Honestly I already think that this anime can make an interesting game the first time I watch it. The question is can the game designer or developer recreates the same excitement and action from the anime. Judging from the PV shown, it seems fun to play. But if you take a look at previous game design which evolve from anime or movie, most of them are actually a big disappointment. You probably might enjoy the game better if you haven’t watched the anime or read the manga before. The 3D animation from the game seems not bad but the main issue which I’m concern about is the battle game play. Judging from the anime I’ve watch, the feeling of speed must be there in order to make this game fun and exciting. If this game is able to combine the feeling of speed from Sonic The Hedgehog and the battle algorithm from Monster Hunter, it will be a big hit. I doubt that will be case for this game. I’m guessing this game will be focus more on story telling driven base instead of the battle mechanism. Fans of this anime sure love to try out the super attack of the popular character Levi Ackerman.
