Your palms are sweating, nerves flaring. You grit your teeth as your brain sends the frantic commands to your fingers to move and press the appropriate buttons. The health bars are dwindling, and special move meters rising. You get off that perfect combo, land your finisher, and get the big K.O. It's an adrenaline-fueled competition that leaves you with a great rush whether in defeat or victory. You absolutely love the feeling and think this fighting game is absolutely great. But for some reason it doesn't strike you as Game of the Year quality, and you can't pinpoint why.
