Language: |

Premise: |
Sega's answer to Battle Arena Toshinden - one of the
first third-generation fighting games with the same style as Mortal Kombat,
but using new techology to deliver a true 3D street fighting experience. |
Impressions: |
Well, what can I say? The requirements of the original were so steep that
only the 32X could deliver on a true port of the arcade game. This is a "special
edition" rendered in now-familiar 2D side-scroll SF2 style in order
to avoid the hardware limitations of a standard Genesis console. It's probably the best SF2
clone in existence for the console, but it seems kinda stale after you've experienced its
32X predecessor. |
Variations: |
Virtua Fighter (32X version, an excellent port of the 3D
arcade original - see separate entry under the 32X section for more details) |
Recommended Emu: |
Genecyst X |
