At first, you're not sure what to do in this anime. Unless you've seen the prequel. Neon Genesis Evangelion is not really a racing anime like it looks. Each of the 26 episodes has about 6 enemies The challenge Shinji faces, is seeking out those enemies, who are either on or off the road, and destroying them. He can do this with missles, bombs, and a whole host of power ups through-out tokyo-3. His Mech also has a mandatory knife in addition to any weapons Shinji has collected. Watchers will especially like the variety of mechs to see. They're enough large, strange, and unique ones to satisfy just bout anyone's taste.
The show takes some getting used to. But the somewhat awkward moments actually add to the hectic action movie feel of the show. Your Shinji will constantly be squealing in pain as he changes directions on dime.
The best part of the show is when the top half of the Eiffel tower falls over and Asuka uses it as a bridge to reach the top of the building that it landed on. What a hoot!
Overall, the experience is much more fun then you would imagine. The challenge is high however, so expect some frustration. Too bad the first street fighting game that actual gets a good review on my show is, ironically, too easy to buy.
