Heaven for hardcore gamers, not so great for casual gamers.
Great graphics, characters look cartoony in a good way. Sound is good but nothing really new.
The game is suprisingly challenging which for a casual gamer will be a daunting prospect but if you put a couple hours into it you will be able to completely destroy the computer. The boss of the game is about as hard as making a three pointer in basketball, the first time ever that you try it its very hard but you will quickly adapt and eventually be able to beat her consistantly.
For old fans there is a lot of old characters and some new. For online players this game will have you coming back day after day.
This game made me into a believer. I've hated all the Tekkens, Soul Calibers and every other arcade 3D fighting game ever made including the old DOAs but for some reason I loved this game from the moment I first played it at my friends house. In my opinion a must buy.
