One game every fan of fighting games should play. The 2-player is great even if you havn't unlocked any of the characters. You have nice crisp levels to choose from. The characters are nicely done and work a lot like real people. They have a big variety of characters to choose from. Big and small. If that isn't enough for you, you can also pic a randomly created character that the game will generate for you. You also have a create a fighter mode, that lets you choose different skills and weapons to suit you. They have a shop where you can buy new weapons for the fighters on the game and more items for your create a fighter mode. You earn money through story mode. You get to choose different options in story mode that changes your outcome. Though there is no online play or blood, the game is awsome. They even added a mode to train your created fighter out. It is like a conquer the towers things, it is kinda corny but adds to the game so it doesn't get boring fast. This game is a must have for fighting game fans.
