It's not that tao feng isn't gorgeous, or that it can't be fun. It's more that there isn't much variety in gameplay.
You'll find yourself performing much of the same combos over and over in a single match just to win. It seems more about finding the right combos to break your opponents defense. There aren't a lot of combos to choose from, and it seems more difficult to incorporate other moves in with combos than it should. It all boils down to loving it or hating it.
It also features special moves and a healing feature, that as your fighter takes damage, can use to heal themselves. It does not replenish health however. Your limbs, are what takes damage and can be healed. The fighters life bar can not be healed, and as your limbs become damaged, that area of your body does reduced damage against your opponent. I think that being able to see the damage on your opponent is one of the more popular attractions in the game.
