*sigh*
Magic Knights Rayearth... the last Saturn game to ever be released on US shores, and I coughed up that 80 bux for it back then, got the Hikaru disc so I was satisfied with that (there were three different discs, one for each girl).
The soundtrack was kind of crappy, aside from them retaining the opening song for the series (although it was in dubbed form, both plain and dramatic vocal versions o_O). Gameplay wise it is seriously just another Action RPG :P
You don't gain levels though, so think of it like a Zelda game with animu people. Rayearth is basically the same way, and the story is somewhat similar to the manga... so if you are a fan of the series you would probably like the game.
As far as moves are concerned everyone has a regular attack and a charge attack (you have to get that later), and some magic spells, and they can jump and swim (learned later). There's not that much else to it, it's a rather straightforward game with a few bonus content (Outtakes and the like), and some of the diary entries are just amusing to listen to.
Like most anime games though, it is either something you would like as a fan of the series, or something that would just bother you otherwise. Since it's an ActionRPG though, you wouldn't have to deal with the hassle that most of these anime rpgs seem to have (insanely huge random battle encounters with no adjustment factor).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
