Summary

And all this time I kept thinking there was worse!

The Good

Well, the CD makes a nice coaster. If not, you can use it to play frisbee with your dog. Or you can just leave it to rot on the shelf of your local store.

The Bad

In short: the fact that it exists.

I mean, was Mirage SERIOUSLY thinking this was an awesome game? What were they smoking when they thought people would actually PLAY this? I mean, the gameplay is some of the worst I've ever encountered; AI is about as dumb as a doorstop, and you can just smack an opponent down with the same move OVER and OVER and OVER....you get the idea. And they don't even bother trying to fight back half the time!! These stupid opponents must like the feel of being kicked in the face repeatedly, no wonder they're all inept.

The sounds, music, and graphics? I'll handle them all at once: they all SUCK. Sounds are all generic and uninspired, the music is crap, and the graphics are even worse.

And one last thing I hated about this game: the hype that surrounded it. People, it doesn't take much to take a pile of horse dung programming, slap it onto a CD and market it as the game to end all games. And that's exactly what happened here.

The Bottom Line

I don't care just how curious you are about this game; treat this game like a horrible skin rash. You don't want to see it, and trust me, you'll be much better off if you don't.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find a much better fighting game for my PC...
