THE fighting game
Gameplay: damn, everything is high tuned and tight. The control scheme may be geared for skilled fighters, but as a guy who doesnt have much time for games (college takes up much of my time now) I learned a lot of the styles very quickly. What is kind of faulty is the mini game, which is semi monotonous, but the boss battles are fun.
Graphics: Feckin HOT, the arenas are completely awesome even without multilevels.
Sound: Top notch, simply top notch
Value: With so many fighters, styles, moves, difficulty levels, minigame (which is sadly subpar), and of course, multiplayer (which really depends on how many friends you have), you'll be playing for a while.
Reviewers tilt: used to love fighting games, now I only go for the best, this is the best.
