    if your not into 2d fighting games, this one won't get you into them. Every character is practically the same, but there is about 44 of them. Capcom and SNK bring out a good fight, but it won't last long until your putting your controller down and moving on.

  1. The most beautifully balanced, well-crafted 2D beat-‘em-up to grace God’s fair Earth.

    I love the color edit and backgrounds, and the character list can't be beat. [Dec 2001, p.95]

    A very fine 2D fighter...The only disadvantage to its arrival on PS2 is the inevitable difficulty caused by the PS2 controller, and with luck that will be remedied by a decent fighting solution soon.
