Power Instinct Matrimelee was the latest sequel of 'Power Instinct' series. This time it offered a good gameplay and high quality music and satisfying graphic. Not likes other fighting game, the main characters of Matrimelee were those old women or spinster and old man with ugly face and tatterdemalion, instead of those young and sonsy guys or pretty and sexy ladies.Anyway it was the specialty and trait of 'Power Instinct' series.

First of all, about the gameplay,was similar to 'King of Fighters' series and 'Rage of the Dragon'- easy move command. It was more easily to performed a special move in this episode than first and second episode.However there were some moves like Chinnen's KINJITE and IPPATSU OUGI move still difficult to be remembered and performed.Then the fighting system was quite unique, stress meter is for counter attack and those 2 kind of moves above. When the meter fills up, your character will scream and release an aura for a second. This aura make your character invincible for a while.I would say that the gameplay was good enough. Besides that, there are 15 basic characters to be chosen and 1 boss character plus 4 secret characters form 'Rage of the Dragon'. It gave you abundant choices on selecting characters. Moreover, every charater has some unique and original moves/attacks, I like Olof and Anny's moves so much!

From the graphic aspect, the visual effect of those charater moves were rich and colorful.However it's a pity that the ending graphics were not satisfying. Artists finished them with perfunctory work, so irritating!

Sound effect of the game was awesome and impressive. I especially loved those stage music/songs, yeah there were every stage got its theme song instead of pure music. There's a song was the most impressive to me was that a girl sang in the middle of the stage with a guitar, before the chorus part, she suddenly shouted out a Japanese word 'Yameteh!!!!' with a crying face. Haha it's so funny and really impressive!:)

Last word, this game might receive a little attention because of those old women and men characters, but I would like to said that the overall performance of it was good enough and satisfying.Please take some time to try it after you finish reading my review. For first time players, I'll like to recommend them to choose Poochy or Kenji as their character.Ok thanks a lot and goodbye!:)
