    Between the overly simplistic fighting system and weak enemy A.I., the game is way too easy to beat—you can successfully complete the Tournament mode by doing nothing but mashing the A button.

    Even though this isn't a fast paced game and you may find it to be a little more dragging than your usual fighting game, the different objectives that you complete in your fights are something that is fairly new and innovative.

    A joke. The fighters you face early on are so easy to beat, I literally won a match just bashing the controller against my ass. [Dec 2001, p.109]

    It's really not that bad for such an old game. I liked it. The negative reviews are unjustified, all things considered.

    This is probably the best game that I have ever played, even better than Barney's first adventure which had in my opinion the best story This is probably the best game that I have ever played, even better than Barney's first adventure which had in my opinion the best story ever, I have the best taste in stories and know a good one when I see it, this game has one of the best stories and gameplay, this game was also dificult too, why I had to press A almost three times throughout the battle, whoo I just don't have the stamina for that one.
