STORY: 12/20
Jotaro and his companions travel the world together and battle enemy Stand Users to reach DIO who is on a mission of destruction by controlling humans.
GRAPHICS: 18/20
The game's graphics is set as a kind of storybook situation, animated scenes, all using nicely hand drawn art. Use of pictures kind of sticks out.. especially in battle when skills are concerned.. spinning pictures looks quite noticeable. Some skills look great and others not so much. Areas that you explore look great graphically, again looking like they are had drawn art. What there is of menu design they look okay with the use of different things that you don't usually see in many RPGs for the console. In battles the enemy and monsters look okay and blend well with the rest of the game's graphics.
SOUND: 12/20
Okay, the game's OST ain't that large but the music is okay until you realise that it's set on loop and plays over and over to the point it all seems to blend which makes it sound like you are actually listening to the same song, even though you are not. Sound effects are okay but like the music they become old quite quick. You will probably end up eventually listening to your own music whilst you play.
GAMEPLAY: 10/20
A bit of a different RPG for this console, its RPG but it's more of an adventure point & click over anything else, which is a genre you don't see much of on the SNES/SFC. You use a pointer to examine things such as fridges, shelves, cupboards, etc but sometimes you'll find it's quite tricky to actually align clicks to find anything. The battle system is all kinds of fun but messed up also, i'm not sure if it's intentional or it's just 'cos of the way the game has been fan translated. I found I was fighting one monster for ages but then realised I had actually needed to talk to it a few times to damage it first.. which is freaking weird.. it's a really odd battle system, one I wasn't a fan of really. You talk to people to advance the story and move from A to B.. it's all quite linear to be fair with cutscenes happening as you approach a certain spot in a location so you don't really get stuck and if you do then all you do is explore until something happens in the form of a cutscene.
TRANSLATION: 16/20
Okay, the story has been greatly translated but my issue here is that it freezes when using Snes9x and you open up the characters menu, as you see at the end of my video.. I didn't intend to end it there it's just 'cos of the freeze that's where I did. That's a hacking issue that's not been fixed so to play the game completely without fault you need to use the Higan or ZSNESW, Snes9x don't run the game perfectly, as far a graphical glitches, freezes, or anything it's all good otherwise.
OVER ALL: 68/100
It's not a bad game, story is okay, music's okay, controls a little awkward at first but the thing that let it down for me was the weird battle system, I didnt like it that much. Do I recommend it now..? If your a JoJo fan then maybe.. if not then i'd look for a better game to play.
