First of all there is one main word for this game - amazing! It has such good graphics and such good gameplay. The controls are easy to learn but learning all of the special moves takes some practice but the exercise in the Sparring mode helps with that. The main part of the game is Story mode where you can play as all of the characters and you follow their story through. Many aspects in this game make it a great fighting game such as the ability to be able to kick, punch or throw your opponent off of a building or kick them down a slope. There are so many little interactions that you can do such as in one of the locations (The safari location) You can throw, kick or punch your opponent into elephants, hippopotamus', rocks that lions and birds are sitting...The result of this is the elephants raise up onto their hind legs and trumpet. When you kick, throw or punch someone towards a hippopotamus they fly over the topic as the hippo yelps. If you kick the opponent into a rock that a bird is perching on then they fly off and leave loose hairs floating in the air and land on the ground. However kick an opponent into a rock that a tiger or lion is on and they make a menacing growl at you. Their are so many little features - Fall through windows, off balcony's, destroy statues and so on. The graphics in this game take you breath away as it seems so realistic. The characters have a scary realism to them and they all have approximately 20 costumes each. However another mode that is important and you may go on this more than story mode - is Survival mode. You have to battle a never ending number of opponents and get points you can get costumes and other features if you get all the items that you get from a K.O'd opponent. You have to collect as many as you can but beware there is a time limit for you to K.O the opponent and if you run out of time it's game over. The other good aspect of this game is the chance of you to play Xbox live against other people although this can sometimes be tiresome as many people just repeat the moves all the time however get used to the combos and throws that they use and you can counter them easily. That's another aspect in the game if in Survival or Story mode and you repeat the same moves over and over the computer will keep countering them that's where the brainwork comes in you always have to think ahead in this game. Such as if you do a low move change to a high attack move to make it harder for the opponent to counter as they will never guess what you will throw at them next. Overall this game has many hours of gameplay in it and it has a lot of fun involved why not invite your friends over for a fight? This game is ultra fun and if you buy it enjoy!
