Probably too many, at least in Japan. I don't think we even get 1/8th of the anime video games they have. Most of them aren't very good from what I've seen, aside from Super Robot Wars and Berserk (for PS2).
The GitS: SAC game here in the U.S might be fun if I could ever get used to those stupid first person controls. I've yet to play the Fullmetal Alchemist or Inu Yasha games. There are also various Gundam games, but I've only played Battle Assault 2, which is OK, but gets repetitive in a short amount of time. EDIT: Bolded something and corrected spelling.

Much like the GameCube, there has one or two. I know there is a Gundam game for the X-Box and there DBZ: B games for the Cube. If you want to play anime games, it's pretty much Playstation 2 and Gameboy.

Dragon Ball Z has games out, Groove Adventure Rave is from the manga Rave (Rave Master in the English Version)

As far as I know there's no Gundam game for the Xbox, at least not in the US. There is at least one DBZ game for it. It's one of the Atari ones.

Hmmm, I thought there was.
 But yeah, Dragonball Saga was on them all, but i was't that great anyway. But as far as games made for XBox, there wasn't much love for the XBox over there. Maybe on the 360.

With an Xbox you're kind of out of luck. Xbox is selling well in the U.S. and Europe, but the figures are abysmal in Japan. There are a few anime-themed games for Xbox published in Japan, but I haven't heard of anything that would be worth importing. IMO it's best to think of anime-based video games as being of the same caliber as other licensed games; there are a few really good ones (Goldeneye), some decent ones (Star Wars Episode III), and lots of crappy shovelware. |

There are always hentai games, but most of the time, anime's converted from them.
Well, you can try Fullmetal Alchemist, maybe Magic Knight Rayearth (like, the one for the Saturn or SNES or something). Negima has a game (but that's, like, in Japan and stuff, dude, both of them). Xbox... I don't think it did very well in Japan, so, yeah. |

IF you are really interested into getting anime games for your PS2 (which I feel has the best anime games) then you have to get your system moded. There are a LOT of really good games for PS2 in the anime department, several EVA games, a very good blood game that was developed to make the story even better. Not only that Cowboy Bebop has a new game out also. The .hack series is also launching a new series of games title GU. The meaning of GU can be several different things, check the trailer out for more info.
IF you are an Xbox user well your out of luck I guess, Xbox was aimed at the US audience, at it really shows. Xbox sales are very good in the US and in Japan there not really happening. And that tends to reflect on what videogames publishers will decide to make and to import to the states. More recently the release of Zeta Gundam for the PS2 is just about to hit stores, unfortunely for us (US market) Bandai remove the online play that the Japanese release had. SO in short we got screwed. |

I heard that gung slinger girl was turned into a game already and it costs sixty bucks. GSG 1,2,3 were made already and they each costs sixty bucks cause you get the anime series episodes 1-4 with the first, 4-8 with the second and 8-12 with the third. I could be wrong with the numbers,but I do know for a fact that you could get episodes 1-4 in the first game, the imported version ( I don't know about the american version of it). The only problem is that it's an imported game and it probably costs a whole lot more now. All three gammes are for ps2 though.

I also forgot to mention Budokai. If there ever was a game that retained a lot of the fast paced, high flying, ki slinging action of DBZ, Budokai 3 is the best (so far). |
