Recently, I've been playing a whole lot of Jojo's Bizzare(or is it spelled bizarre?) Adventure for the psx. Oh man, this game is awesome. I tried to play it before on my dreamcast but it didn't work so i got the japanese version running on epsxe. I haven't seen a 2D fighter this great in years and lately i haven't even touched guilty gear XX for I find this game way more original and interesting when it comes to gameplay mechanics. Makes me wonder why Capcom stopped making fighters and evolved to this more serious company realeasing crap like RE4 which is the same from start to end, Killer7 and Lost Planet which looks like a MDK in the snow with mechs to me. Only game I'd spend my money on would be Dead Rising. All we've got from Capcom in the fighting genre department is these re-releases of past street fighter games. Oh thanks a lot, I've got all of those.
Now on Jojo's Bizzare Adventures which from now I'll abreviate to Jba. Jba is two times more insane when it comes to character originality than GGXX. Even if it's based on a manga on the same vein of Hokuto no Ken (fist of the north star for you who might not know) something has to be said on how they managed to incorporate the concept of each fighter having this summoned creature at your command (which are called Stands) present in the manga, and making it work on a 2d fighter. Has to be seen to be believed. Other than that, it's been a long time since I've seen sprites with this much personality. Everything's so inspired from the sets to the minigames and the announcer. "Make up your mind! FIGHT!" Maybe I'll review it sometime but you like 2d fighters or Hokuto no Ken you should try this game.

Specially if you're stuck with your old-gen plataforms. I mean, I have a ps2 and 512mb of ram in my pc and it's kinda difficult to find any good games for such systems as mine. I've been waiting ages for Hokuto no Ken and God Hand for ps2 and I can't find em in the nearest stores. MK Armageddon is out of stock for 2 months. Rainbow Six Las Vegas asks too much of your rig and the only other really good games coming out are StrangleHold and Vf5. I hope them people at Namco ***. don't make the same mistakes in Tekken 6 as they did in 5 when it comes to stringing combos and pulling out attacks without that stupid precision they want from a common player. I've been playing 2d fighters for ages and I need no game company to tell me how to play fighting games. DOA is much better in that department imo. Out there, for next-gen consoles there are 2 good games for Xbox360 that are worth buying being them GoW and Dead Rising but they don't do nothing that next-gen that it couldn't be ported for other consoles. I'ts Gta in a mall with zombies and killswitch fine-tuned when you boil down to what those games really are. Fine games in their own merit, agreed, but nothing that revolutionary. And for the slash/beat em up gamer out there it can't get any better than Ninja Gaiden. Luckily there's one coming out for Ps3 but it's the same NG we've played 2 years ago with a shinier look and a bunch of new cool extras. I'm gonna chip my ps2 and grab and a downloadable ISO of Sammy's Hnk for I've had enough of GGXX. :idea:
