    Like most fighters in the ACA Neo Geo range, there isn't much appeal in the Hi Score or Caravan modes, but that doesn't really matter when the regular game is so enjoyable. Like its predecessor, The Last Blade 2 seemingly simple combat system has a lot of depth allowing for plenty of options in fights with the good selection of fighters and different fighting modes.

    Also, as a Rurouni Kenshin fan, I adore the references (which makes me want to see this series return spiritually as a 'Rurouni Kenshin FIghterZ' of sorts).
    I'm glad I took the leap into trying this out. As a fighting game fanatic, it's one of my favourites next to 3rd Strike, Tekken 5 and the Bushido Blade duology.    … Full Review »
