    While not quite as good as it's prequel( VO Ontario Tangram) on the dreamcast Virtual on Marz is a good game made better by it's lengthy single player campaign. It's a unique take on the fighting genre where the camera follows directly behind you, which means multilayer is split screen. If you don't have friends to play with this makes Marz the better choice over VOOT.

Having the twin sticks on the controller allows you to play with the original twin stick control scheme, although I prefer the default control scheme(pro-tip: stop completely before rotating with the right stick you'll move faster) My only complaints are changes in color schemes of the mechs, how ridiculously long it takes to unlock new mechs in the single player, a less interesting arcade mode and switching my favorite character to his alternate vehicle mode.… Expand

    For a game in which high-speed dashing and keeping the enemy in sight at all times is critical, this crippled control and decreased speed detracts from gameplay. [Jan 2004, p.48]

    You come to Virtual-On to beat up big robots through a mix of opportune tactics and instinctive brawn, and throughout Marz the precise and articulated combat remains as demanding as ever. [Sept 2003]

    The graphics didn’t push the PS2 hardware and reminded me of a Dreamcast game instead of a PS2 game. The story mode will have you confused and might even bring on a headache.
