GameCube version

Best Multiplayer game I have ever played. Playability through simplicity.

The Good
The sheer playability of the game and using so few buttons. You cannot have more fun with four mates on one screen all at the same time. An original slant on the beat-em-up genre, that leaves conventional fighters such as Tekken and Soul Calibur wanting in terms of fun and epic battles. The variety of the levels and the impact they can have on the battle make it a joy to choose between them. The ingenious array of about 30 pick up's and the awesome Poke-balls all of which are customizable create a multiplayer game unrivalled by anything else. The single player challenges offer a massive challenge which if you can complete really make you a master of the game.

The Bad
Slightly weak single player story mode.

The Bottom Line
Best multiplayer fighter ever made.
