Overall, Project X Zone did exactly what it set out to do: make a lighthearted, over-the-top action game that combined dozens of characters from some of gaming’s most beloved franchises. All of the references and character interactions amused me to no end and the action, while a touch repetitive, was very entertaining. However, due to its lack of variety and rather tedious story, I can’t give this game a higher score or recommendation. If you’re looking for a deep strategy game or only care for one or two of the featured characters, you’ll probably want to give Project X Zone a pass. However, if you want to just play a simple game that features some of your favorite characters hanging out together on a big damn adventure, then you need to pick this game up.
