There are definitely fun fighting game anthologies and collections and the Art of Fighting is not one of them.

I only played ''The Art of Fighting Anthology''one time and it is definitely a waste of time,travel and money.Even though i only paid $9.99 cents for it because it was on sale for one week only at Sears 2 or 3 weeks ago,it ain't even worth renting,let alone buying to own.All 3 of the games on this frisbee sucks especially the first 2 installments with probably the worst 2D graphics and character animations i have ever seen.The music is so annoying i just wished that they gave me the option to turn it off completely.The best SNK fighters that ever came out for the PS2 is the King of Fighters 2D series(2000-2002) in particular.Even the King of Fighters 2003 and Capcom Fighting Evolution is superior to and more fun than this piece of crap.Buy the Streetfighter Alpha Anthology,Streetfighter 15th Anniversary Collection,King of Fighters 2000/2001,King of Fighters 2002/2003,Capcom Vs. SNK 2,and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 instead if you want all of the best 2D fighting games ever made for the PS2.You will definitely thank me for this later as a result,trust me.Do not buy or rent the Art of Fighting Anthology if you are serious about not throwing your PS2 out of the window.
