Squaresoft beat-em up has a few flaws and could have been a lot better.
The game engine allows you to punch, block and throw with some special moves combined. You also earn experience after you defeat a set of enemies after different scenes of the game. You can spend these points to power up you're selected characters. The story is driven scene by scene and throws you into battle, you are able to save the game after every scene. The game does have a few decision making elements which effects the story for parts of the game as well.
The games overall presentation is amazing, the visuals and sounds really show what the Playstation 2 has to offer. From exploring each level to the character models, are simply flawless.
The down side to this game, is that it's simply too short and the loading times are too long. Also the controls in the game have some issues and also the camera does find itself working against the player.
After completing the game and many areas, you unlock a battle mode as well as other characters to fight in those unlocked modes, where you are able to play against your friends. You also have the Battle Royale mode where up to 4 players are able to fight together.
