    One more classic NeoGeo 2D fighting game appears for the Xbox Live Arcade, but it offers less than we expected. This is just a port from the original game that doesn’t include anything new... except for a multiplayer online mode that most times doesn’t work or makes combats run in bullet time. The original game is here, ok, but indeed the control system feels poorly adapted to the X360 pad.

    There are other, better, games out there to play now and unless you’re that obsessed reliving the once great games of the past there’s no reason to look back.

    If you spent time jamming quarters into Samurai Shodown 2 in an arcade somewhere back in the day, this game is worth a look. But if you're looking for a classic, fun 2D fighter on XBLA, you could do better.

The game itself is great fun, but this is not an "Arcade Perfect" port. Graphically, it features a filter that isn't very attractive. And the only new feature is online matches. I would rate this with a 7.5 out of 10.… Full Review »
