    Needs Rollback Netcode, but it's a great excuse to play again one of the biggest franchises in Sega's portfolio. Maybe content for solo play would be helpful for new challengers. Only for fighting games enthusiasts.

    One of the best fighting games of all-time gets a welcome new run out, even if it's not quite as complete as it could have been. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Technically gameplay is good, but the game is barebones, like there is most simple arcade mode without story, without any cutscenes or character info + no story mode. If you're not a fan of fighters like, where you need to learn moves to master it, not just play it for fun and story, it's probably not for your eyes, but you still can play couple of decent rounds online or beat your friend.… Full Review »
