The Bottom Line:

"Disappointing"

So I got this one from Game Fly. I was excited, being a fan of the series, and the Van Damme movie. I wanted to revisit the characters, and play through as many times as I could.
Instead, I put the game in the PS3, and my excitment turned quickly into frustration. That turned quickly into hatred. In the end, I was playing it only because I had it for the weekend.
Now when I play a fighting game I like to jump right in and play. In this case I found the controls to be less than friendly. Not only that but when I began to get the controls down, I began winning, and as you begin to win in this game, the computer gets pissed and unleashes a Dues Ex Machina save for itself.
Not once did I ever feel any amount of skill was necessary to win, because as soon as you begin to win. The computer teaches you why you shouldn't.
The graphics are good. I was impressed with the 2D 3D crossover. There was a lot of depth. However, it would have been better served in a better game.
Too bad, the story seemed cool.
