This is the greatest fighting game that I have played. I first played it at a relative's house and fell in love. The array of characters is fantastic, each one having their own unique qualities. I love the variety of environments, each one having different gameplay opportunities. The only thing that I had a problem with were the mini-games. They lacked purpose and are pretty one-sided. The Big-shot one is also very hard to understand; however, they are fun just as a little break from the large amounts of action the rest of the game provides. I especially like the two-player mode. It is a great way to spend time with a friend, and it runs very smoothly, combining you onto one screen for close combat. Don't listen to the reviews that say it comes down to smashing buttons. You actually have to think to win a fight. Don't get me wrong, this is definitely not a strategy game, but you do have to plan, should you run, hide, punch, throw something, use your special attack? It is a really well rounded game. My main issue is that the adventure mode is very short and easy to beat;however, it may be harder on levels other than easy. (I just now learned there were other levels.) Overall, I loved this game and would recommend it to anyone who wants a well rounded, fun, and unique fighting game.
This game is so awesome!!! I "borrowed" it from my friend and he couldn't force me to give it back for over half a year! My favorite is the praying mantis dude. I like insects so I got instantly interested in him. It may be short, but you can still try to beet the game with every character to see how they were created, wich takes a while (I was never able to beet it with the lava guy).
