Closing Comment: If I was a fan of the Toshiden series, I might have put some effort into finding a copy of this game and trying it out... Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I'm not a fan of the Toshiden series. However, I did read some reviews of this game; and after reading those reviews, I don't think I'd want to spend my money on it even if I was a fan.
I'm not one to judge a book by it's cover, but if Toshiden 4 is anything like it's predecessors, the control is likely to be unresponsive and clunky; and the graphics: blocky and "last gen." From what I've seen, those reviews were right. This game looks outdated for 1999/2000, and the gameplay doesn't appear to be anything revolutionary (to say the least). ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
