Very nice fighting game
________
This game is very fun to play and deserves every fighter-oriented player to try at least once. Garou is pretty hard for a novice player. As you beat opponents it becomes somewhat hard if you don't know the special attacks and counter-attacks well. To evade attacks you must press A+B together. The specials (when your meter is full) are a little tricky to pull off (two quarter-turn circles forward and then you press the key assigned to whatever special you want to use). There are only 4 buttons to use in Garou and that is A,B,C, and D. A is swift punch (low), B is swift kick (low), C is pummeler punch (high) and D is Colossal kick (high). I believe everyone has a special with each A,B,C and D. Each character has a special for the low attack and for high attack (this requires 2 power meter charges). There is an interesting system the developers added which is the T.O.P. system and that allows a player who enters that area to have increased attack power and health regeneration. Also, by pressing C+D buttons at the same time you can activate the T.O.P. attack. Each player has a unique T.O.P. attack.
Each level is detailed and has a moving background. Some levels have hidden easter eggs in the background for people to laugh at. All the characters have a story mode when you play so you can understand the background of that particular character. There is always an ending for each character but to get the real ending you have to get an average of SSS by the time you beat the "final" boss then you go on to fight the real boss and when you beat him you get the more detailed and longer ending.
