    A graphically slick martial arts game that’s head-and-bloody-shoulders above the competition for the visible damage you can inflict on opponents.

    The best fighting game currently out for the Xbox.

    The bottom line on this game is not simple. The game takes risks and tries things never before done in any fighting game.

    The grabs are devastating, the Chi attacks look cool, and the strategy involved is compelling. Definitely worth your $50.

    This is the single best fighting game for your Xbox and definitely makes the top-5 list of best fighters of all time.

    But what better way to show off the extravagantly idealized female form than with high kicks and kung fu-style stretches? Watching them pee sitting down would just interrupt the action, which is tremendous.

    The fights are long and challenging, and the gameplay has an appeal all its own. With plenty of features, great graphics and sound and a surprisingly well-developed backdrop, Tao Feng's unique gameplay is a welcome step in the right direction.

    Miles better than "Kakuto Chojin," but it’s still a few short steps behind "Dead or Alive 3" and "Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance."

    A gorgeously slower-paced fighting game with an emphasis on combos and strategy over frantic button mashing... A refreshing change of pace, to be sure.

    The storyline and backgrounds for the characters are very deep for a fighting game, which is an advantage of the small roster.
  12. Gamezilla!

    A clunky fighting system which doesn’t seem to rely on tactics at all and camera angles that make gameplay at times both hard to master and frustrating to endure, hamstring what could have been a fantastic game.

    Penalized by being one of the few fighting games you simply cannot play with a newcomer. It's far more complex than your average experience.Penalized by being one of the few fighting games you simply cannot play with a newcomer. It's far more complex than your average experience. It's a bit bland, to be fair, and the camera changes angle at random. After getting the hang of it, there is some genuine fun to be had here, but the casual player will drop out way before that.… Full Review »

    I've played about 250 xbox games, and would rate this as the worst out of all 250.
