Best 3D fighter available for the PC
This game is fast and the moves for each fighter are awsome and unique. You have 10 fighters to choose from (and 1 hidden boss) each have their own moves wich makes each fighter unique from others, none of them mimic each other they have their own style of fighting based on real martial arts. Some fighters have a countering attack wich could lead the attacker to get bashed, others have methods of rolling, cartwheeling or somersaults to avoid an attack, another nice feature is when you nock your opponent to the ground and if you still want to punish the fighter you can kick or stomp the opponent. the music and sounds were fit in this port perfectly from the arcade.
You get 5 modes of play wich adds more gameplay. You can also change the game's version from 2.0 to 2.1. The game also as a feature called portrait mode, wich you can see screenshots of each character, it also offers online play, and other modes available on the Sega Saturn for more gameplay. A cool option is that your oponents can study your gameplay by turning on the "learning"option.
I highly recommend this game, and if your wondering that if it will work on Windows XP, it does.
