Graphics 8.5 Charters have low poly counts, but animate great, lose limbs, there are insane projectiles and huge 3-D arenas
Sound 7 It's muffled, but there is plenty of voice.
Music 5 I cant even remember the music in the game. It was very indistinct.
Gameplay 8 Special moves are to hard to do, but the game is pretty fun to play, with limited flying and wanton violence.
2-Player Competition 6 This is NOT a game to test skill with, but it is fun.

Every magazine and online site has been dissin' this game. of course Tekken 3 blows it away. Tekken 3 is made by Namco. Anyways, I like this game because of the awesome character animation (from a distance, you'd think the more human characters were real people). The player models are low in polygons, but well textured, and they even have changing facial expressions, which looks really cool. At the begining of every fight, the game shows awesome introductions for both fighters, in which they show personality and whatnot. I think there are 2 for each fighter. Then there are 3 win celebrations for each character. Also, there is some awesome environment lighting, which I think is faked, but faked very well. The same can be said for the gunfire lighting. Arms can be blown off at will, and they gush blood for the rest of the fight. Some projectiles also stick out of the opponent for the durration of the round. It is Very funny to take off an opponents 2 arms, only to lose to hime, and then see him doing his win pose with no arms, jumping around, laughing maniacally, at you, all while gushing blood from both arm sockets. My major complaint with the graphics is the look of grayness to the game, though.

Sound is OK, but somewhat muffled. One guy says "Time to Fry! Fry baby! Fry! during the round intro. It is cool. The music might as well not be there. You will not even notice the music.

There are 8 selectable characters, a boss, that is any of the 8 characters with shiny textures, and a HUGE (6 times as tall, 5X as wide) end boss. I know not of any secret characters. Character design is good, except for 2 extremely deriative characters. Youll know them when you see them. Game play is fun, but special moves are too hard to do, much less remember. At least each character has at least 10 of them.

This game is pretty damn cool. Give it a rent. fly around a bit. Wheeee! 420..
