    The last 2D fighting game on the Dreamcast shined brilliantly like a newly polished blade.
  2. GameSpot

    Thanks to its solid gameplay and stylized look, it holds up well enough, even three years after its debut on the NeoGeo.
  3. Core Magazine
    75
    Obviously dated, lacking the elaborate stories and special modes of many current fighting games. Still, the gameplay covers up the inadequacies in most respects.
  5. Gaming Age
    75
    It's a piece of 2D history, and one that no DC owning fighting fan should be without.
