Summary

The original, and not a bad one at that.

The Good

The artwork for the cutscenes is very nice, if confusing at times. There are a lot of special moves to pull off ( Though projectile moves are a little overused). The characters are interesting, and the storyline is very well thought out. However, probably the best thing in the game is the music. If you play without music, you're missing out. I have never heard such good Game Boy tunes.

The Bad

The storylines are great, but get confusing at the end. The characters move very slowly in game. There are only two attacks ( punch and kick). There's no save option, so if you have to quit, all your fighting has been wasted.

The Bottom Line

This is a great fighting game that should please role playing fans too. Ignore the small defects and you've got yourself a great game here. Just remember to try SS2.
