Rave Master: Special Attack Force Game Sample 1/2 - GBA
0Original Air Date: October 27th, 2009
Rave Master: SAF is a video game based off of the anime and manga of the same name, Rave Master (or Groove Adventure Rave). While the game was released in the U.S. as more of a mid-life GBA title some time in 2004 or 2005, it's actually based off of its Japanese counterpart, Groove Adventure Rave: Hikari to Yami no Daikessen 2, which was made in 2002. It comes off as pretty basic or standard in the U.S., but was actually meant to be one of the fancier showcases for the handheld in Japan.
In this game, you get to play with many of your favorite Rave Master characters like Haru and Elie and fight in four player battles that act as a "Tug-of-War" session. Each character has basic attacks and special attacks that can be used with their item power that inflict damage. A character can lose their item power and thus lose half of their moves. When a character is sent over the edge, a bar will flash. During this time, you have to press start and bash buttons in order to do a finisher. Finishers are the only way you can win battles. The game is cool for a little while, but all the characters finishers look far too samey, but I suppose that's the price for playing a fairly simple 2002 GBA game in 2004+
