Game Company’s Description: A new page in history has begun as the most highly-anticipated fighting game ever finally arrives! The greatest 3-D weapons-based fighter will provide non-stop action, excitement and surprises as you go one-on-one against your favorite challengers.Thirteen historic fighters plus all new combatants including Necrid, specially designed by Todd McFarlane Productions, Inc. Unique special guest fighters for each platform include Link, Heihachi, and Todd McFarlane’s Spawn. Seven exciting modes of play including Arcade, Vs, Time Attack, Survival, Team Battle, Practice, and Weapon Master Collect 200 different weapons in the all-new mission-complete Weapon Master mode.

Look: Gorgeous but not without a few imperfections. You wouldn’t believe it if I told you, but its not as impressive as the Dreamcast release. The character models are impressive and the stages are wonderful. There are slowdowns that can get annoying, luckily they are rare. Overall the graphics are quite good, just not the huge leap that you’d hope for.

Feel: Very deep and easily one of the best fighters to date. This is the reason to buy the game. There are many characters to choose from, some are leaps and bounds above others. Which can get a little annoying. There are a good deal of new moves and modes. There are some players that you can only play during certain modes, which really takes away from some other modes.

Hear: Weak soundtrack. The sound effects are on par with most fighting games.

Frankly: Deep fighting mode and good graphics make for a good time. It’s not the spectacle of the Dreamcast release but if you loved fighting games then it’s a must buy.
