Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side

Moby ID: 10137

SEGA CD version

Great, Sega just made Eternal Champions even HARDER!!!!!

The Good
The fighting engine is deeper than most fighting games, although I still prefer Street Fighter, and the graphics are really nice(the fighters are HUGE!!!) Also, Sega put some neat fatalities in CFTDS, and Mortal Kombat look tame in the process. The storyline is as well-written as Mortal Kombat, and the "Cine-Kills" are high-quality for the time. The music as also pretty decent.



The Bad
This game is way too HARD! I, as a hardcore classic gamer, cannot BELIEVE the cheapness of this game! The original is hard enough as it is! And the new fighters they included are WORTHLESS. At least they added the original fighters or this game would COMPLETELY suck. The final boss is just crap. first you fight him in 8 FRICKEN FORMS, and then you have to fight him again in 5 other forms! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

The Bottom Line
Don't buy it, don't borrow it, don't even download it. Just pretend it never existed. This is one of the worst fighting games I have ever played.

Overall: 4 out of 10. >=[ Graphics-8/10 Gameplay-3/10 Sound-6/10
