Shodown 2 is incredibly fun and rewards skilled technique. I love how the weapons can lock together, and sometimes you'll even lose your weapon and have to fight with your bare hands. The power meter on the bottom of the screen displays the button presses for the disarm move - a nice touch. The spectacular backgrounds are an eyeful, bursting with color and teeming with animation. Are those Jedi guards I see in the throne stage? The audio is also fantastic, with outstanding music and crystal clear voice samples. Add in intro and ending scenes for each character, and you have one of the definitive fighting games from SNK.

The one drawback of this game is the long loading time. Between each match you will have to wait through two periods when the CD must load information. This is an unfortunate break in the pace of an otherwise blistering fast and intense game. If you can find the secret blood code, you'll really be able to ream your opponents in an all-out bloodbath.
