Accel World VS Sword Art Online Reviews
Any fans of Reki Kawahara's work should definitely check out Accel World VS Sword Art Online. Not only is it the best playing Sword Art Online to date, it also has a great story that links the two world directly together. It all culminates in a fantastic twist ending that managed to finally get me invested in the world of SAO, which is something the previous games failed to do. It's also helped tremendously by the addition of Accel World characters, as they immediately caught my attention.
In short we can say that the last effort of Bandai's home is a title that has interesting features on the one hand, but on the other it does not convince us 100%. Do you want for too much woody movements, whether for neglected graphic care, or for too much repetition of secondary games, we can not say that the title is a masterpiece. Despite this there are several aspects that we appreciated, the mix of two universes is well-managed, the character jokes are well-studied and even the story is definitely not that bad. Let's say that surely it is a title that should be played for such lovers but that, according to our advice, would be worth half price!

This game was fun and for anyone who is a fan of both series then I do recommend to atleast take a look at this game. I have always wanted an Accel World RPG game and this made me want one even more, but hopefully without Sword Art Online in the future.
Accel World Vs Sword Art Online is an interesting crossover between two of the most popular light novels in Japan, but only true fans of the series would be able to really appreciate it.

Without the SAO and Accel World skins I wouldn´t see a reason to buy it, too generic, too flawed, too bland are the mechanics presented too us. Truly a game, only buyable by true fans of the series who want to play as their heroes but nothing more, nothing less, than a generic, exchangeable experience.
Fun and direct, Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is an interesting crossover that offers douzens of hours of intense gameplay, flying skills and an intense story with hours of static dialogues on screen.

While what should be the biggest draw — the crossover and the story — falls flat on its face, Accel World vs Sword Art Online isn't a complete loss.
An intriguing story premise and refreshing fast paced combat keeps Accel World vs. Sword Art Online from becoming another dull action RPG.
Accel World vs. Sword Art Online ist ein spaßiges Action RPG mit einer fesselnden Story und vielen spielbaren Charakteren. Die Charaktere aus beiden Serien spielen sich unterschiedlich und auch das Kämpfen an sich ist wirklich unterhaltsam. Zudem gibt es neben der Hauptstory auch viele kleine Nebenquests zu erledigen, Items zu sammeln und Charaktere zu leveln. Und zuallerletzt gibt es dann auch noch einen interessanten Multiplayer Modus. Dennoch gibt es einige Punkte, die den Spaß etwas dämpfen: So wirkt die Grafik leider sehr veraltet und auch das Quest- und Mutliplayer-System sowie die Steuerung könnte etwas benutzerfreundlicher sein. Leider gibt es bei Accel World vs. Sword Art Online also einiges an verschenktem Potenzial, jedem Fan von Sword Art Online und besonders auch von Accel World (oder beidem) kann ich das Spiel aber auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Alle anderen, die gerne Action RPGs oder Animes mögen, sollten aber auch einen Blick darauf werfen.

Accel World vs Sword Art Online is a hack and slash RPG with a lot of customization, but the game is hurt by its generic good vs evil story and complicated aerial combat systems.
What was once a mediocre game series has been made even worse. Technical issues and gameplay blunders are somehow shadowed by a bulky, contrived plot that believes in quantity over quality.
With finicky controls and oversized maps, it's hard to recommend this game to anyone other than those who love the franchise and the two series themselves.
While the improvements since Lost Song are noticeable and there's a huge roster of playable characters, because of its downsides it's a product for only the the hardcore fans of the saga (or sagas, in this case), just like its predecessors.

An enjoyable, engrossing adventure in two of my favourite worlds.
Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is a competent action role-playing game offering a simple yet solid combat system, good story and characters and plenty of content. Due to the very bland exploration and a couple of other issues, namely technical and controls issues on PlayStation Vita, the game can only be recommended to fans of both franchises.
Accel World VS Sword Art Online had the potential to bring these two words together in a unique way, but that ended up stopping at the story. The similarities between this game and Sword Art Online: Lost Song are just too much to overlook. If you enjoyed the past Sword Art Online games then this is for you, but if you know nothing about either of these worlds and are just looking for a fun action RPG, I'd look elsewhere.
Chaining together Switch attacks and six or seven special moves to obliterate a boss in seconds makes you feel like a God, and that's worth the price of admission as far as I'm concerned.
Reused gameplay, ridiculous audio and visual oversights, and a story that’s more bland than saltines make this one title that even fans of the anime will get little from.
Ultimately, while Accel World VS Sword Art Online: Millennium Twilight means well to try and merge what's cool about both Sword Art Online and Accel World, its high points are too few and far between to consider it a success.
Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is a fairly magnificent little JRPG that surprised me with its depth of characters and customizable options within, and a world where I can fly, explore, and battle dozens of monsters along the way. I'm reminded so much of the golden PlayStation 2 era of JRPG gaming, with all the good and some of the bad that comes with that distinction. Overall, Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is a very solid JRPG title and one that any fan of the genre will enjoy.
